- But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve so
your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in
Christ another Jesus another spirit another gospel (2Co 11:2-4) For
I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you
to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to
Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve
through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the
simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth
another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another
spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye
have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

- What predestination means, in its most elementary form, is that
our final destination, heaven or hell, is decided by God not only
before we get there, but before we are even born. It teaches that
our ultimate destiny is in the hands of God. RC Sproul

- Often the term election is used as a synonym for
predestination. Technically this is incorrect. The term election
refers specifically to one aspect of divine predestination: Gods
choosing of certain individuals to be saved. The term election has
a positive connotation, referring to a benevolent predestination
that results in the salvation of those who are elect. Election also
has a negative side, called reprobation, which involves the
predestination of those who are not elect (Sproul, Grace Unknown,
141) RC Sproul

- Divine election may be defined as that loving and merciful
decision by God the Father to bestow eternal life upon some, but
not all, hell-deserving sinners. This decision was made before the
foundation of the world and was based not upon any act of will or
works of men and women, but solely upon Gods sovereign good
pleasure. One does not enter the ranks of the elect by meeting a
condition, be it faith or repentance. One enters the ranks of the
elect by virtue of Gods free and altogether gracious choice, as a
result of which he enables us to repent and believe. Thus, election
is both sovereign and unconditional (Storms, Chosen for Life,
45).

And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the
trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the
midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither
shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the
woman, Ye shall not surely die:

thoughts, actions, and ambitions are all bad. Man does not have the
ability to do what God commands him to do (repent). All have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23) The wages of
sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord (Rom. 6:23). Man is DEAD. Dead things cant do
anything !!
