It's God's choice if He wanted to save anyone...we cannot save ourselves we need God.
It's not God's choice we ended up sinning and deserve death.
The relationship between man and God after the fall, is like master/servant or slave/master or child/ Father relationship.. there is no free will...
Hi, thanks for going back to my original post and Scriptures quoted...now these are the questions for you or anyone here to answer.
(1) who are vessels? are they referring to humans beings?
(2) who prepares them according to the verses?
Hi, but who can resist His Will? Romans 9:19,20...if God's will to save everyone then everyone will be saved, ie as Jesus said "no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand" John 10:29
I agree humans have free will, Not in terms of salvation..
Hi, we end up in "hell" not because of God's choice but "ours". But the choice to be saved from the judgement of those in hell is solely God..Romans 9:13-15
So, if God did not choose me to be save then I'll end up in hell..
Hi @GRACE_ambassador, yes I agree all mankind have free will to choose God's will. But it's up to God to choose from mankind whose to know His Will..John 1:12,13. Blessings
Those who are not of the elect have free will, but it's not necessarily God's will...Those who are of the elect are chosen based on God's will Not their own will..(men's will and God's will)..
