so....this gets us back in this study of the Calvinist-Arminian debate to the conclusion I came to back in Bible school.
#1 - Man has Free Will
and yet at the same time and without confrontation or contradiction:
#2 - God is sovereign.
Both ideas are 100% true
God is in control of my life, and it is no accident that im saved, while at the same time I have free Will.
even my Free Will is no accident, but was predetermined to me before the world was made by God.
