Predestination...

When you start to really break down the nuts and bolts of the Bible, you will start seeing a lot about Predestination in it.  Paul talks about the "Elect" a lot, meaning we are chosen by God, we didn't chose him.  Jesus says that His sheep will hear the Shepherd's call, again, He chose you, you didn't choose Him, you just heard the call.  I have no problem with God foreknowing everything, He created it all.  The Bible talks about Predestination, and the Bible is the inerrant word of God, so it is true.  But, banter back and forth about such things need not worry us, disagreement on it need not pull the people in Christ apart.  I like Martin Luther's view on the subject, "it's true, but don't fret about it, give it to God".  Luther's take on the subject can be read here; http://www.orlutheran.com/html/mlpredestination.html
