The Holy Spirit thru the Apostle Paul speaks of Moses, one of the most important men of God in all of Scripture, in Heb. 11:24-27 “By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of the Pharaoh’s daughter; choosing rather to suffer affliction with the People of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured as seeing Him Who is invisible”

Know your Scriptures; know your calling. Be strong, faithful soldiers living in active duty serving the Lord. The spiritual battle being waged over The Truth and over your minds is by no means a reality that is frivolous & fickle. (Eph.6:10-18; II Tim.2:1-4).

Please review article #25 in this series and read I Pet.1:18-25.

Another “belief” as to what Scriptural predestination is has been entertained by thousands thru-out history; this idea is one that was brought to popularity on the world stage by a man named John Calvin (1509-64 A.D.). The Calvinistic viewpoint states that you are either predestinated by God Almighty to be a saved believer or you are predestinated to be lost. Although this belief does not have every creature created and born as eventually being saved, it does have inherently within it the idea that ultimately there is no choice in the matter. Glory to God if you are predestinated to salvation, plumb out of luck if you are not! Certainly this creed leaves a huge “out” for mankind to be responsible, at the very least, to the Creator, for how can anybody be responsible to the Lord if they are predestinated not to be?!! Scripturally sound? I know that this “position” is not.

Please review articles #’s 1 thru 6 in this series; Eph. 1:11 “In Whom we also have been chosen to an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of The One working all things according to the counsel of His own will” (literal translation).

Choice and responsibility: you and me being chosen before the foundation of the world; being predestinated unto the sonship adoption thru the Beloved Son of God (Eph.1:4&5). Do we have a choice in the matter of God’s choosing and predestination?

Greetings faithful saints; note: in the last article #18, the reference on line 20 of paragraph 2 should have been Ezekiel (Eze.) 28:12-19. Sorry.

My wife & I want to sincerely thank all of you who prayed & “supplicated” concerning the 1st annual Boscobel Bible Conference (the BBC). The men of God who spoke did an exceedingly great job and their words were received with a “spirit” of love, meekness, sincerity, honor, & joy.
