Thank you so very much, for serving the Lord, by teaching His Word. This teaching not only put me in “awe”, but brought me to the pouring out of tears, from my heart. I have never received such a message as this. All Glory Be Gods. I have been listening to your teachings for some months now and have been praying for you. Thanks again for your work, in bringing the Word of God, to His people. ❤️🕊🙏
Predestination does have to do with the gentiles being grafted in, but we also know that Israel was predestined through no greatness of their own Deut. 7:6-8. If everyone is chosen/predestined than really the word is meaningless. “Predestined,” has no legitimate meaning if everyone is predestined. We dare not take God’s words and water them down because we don’t like the implications. Predestination is devastating to human pride, not God’s glory!
As far as Calvinism goes, not everyone would affirm all 5 points. Many people see passages referring to the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart (the Bible says God specifically hardened Pharaoh’s heart to glorify Himself over Egypt and their false gods) and other passages like “Jacob I love and Esau I hated” as markers of God’s sovereignty in human will. That’s God’s word, not man’s. One single time the passage in Exodus states that Pharaoh hardened his own heart. The rest of the time it says God did the hardening. Ask yourself how Judaism and Christianity would be different if pharaoh had simply let Israel go on the first request? I think the point is that both are true and God is infinitely higher than our comprehension. It’s a weak god that has to fit within human limitations of understanding.
Yes but God's will is that everyone come to repentance. God is not walking down the street picking and choosing who will live and who will die. In context all are predestined. Predestination has to with the gentiles being grafted in.
I would rather have God picking and choosing who will live and die than us. All we choose is wickedness and selfishness and none deserve to enter the kingdom. Especially me. Instead, i can rest assured that he has a perfectly holy and just purpose in everything decision he makes.
@Quinn Peterson You would rather have God picking and choosing? So, by that logic, you and everyone else on earth is going to Hell? You deserve nothing. I would count yourself lucky that God is such a gentleman.

Desiring God book changed my life! This book and Practicing the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence! Awesome! Thank you for Brother Piper Lord!
Very insightful ✝️♥️
My guess it has few views because most watch this directly on the Desiring God website.
Why does this only have 58 views...
Because I hadn't met Jesus yet when you put that comment. :)
