The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Does God force men to sin?

Lynda,

Welcome back!

Unfortunately, even those who profess to be believers hate a God who is God, i.e., ALL THINGS have been determined by Him for His glory. Funny, that the Bible teaches that God "chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him, in love: having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:" (Eph 1:4-6) That this all-determining God in love chose undeserving God-hating, rebellious, idolatrous, adulterous, sinful individuals to receive saving grace in Christ Jesus. What sane individual would not exalt His name and humble themselves before Him in praise and adoration for His mercy?

Anyway.... you want information, eh? Well, The Highway website has over 1600 books, articles and sermons for your perusal. On the subject of God's eternal predestination, there is an entire section here: Predestination. Also, on both the main page and in the "Calvinism and the Reformed Faith" section, there is a Search feature that is keyed to all the material on The Highway. HINT: if you are wanting to search for terms, enclose them in "quotes".

And, if you are looking for something specific and can't find it, just ask here on the board and I'm sure a link or more will be provided.
