Predestination, Election, and Foreknowledge

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Jerry asked, We are told that God is no respecter of persons, and that He looks at the heart, and that He seeks for those of a contrite heart. Predestination from the foundation of the earth without His foreknowledge seems to destroy all of this. To me it seems an even greater God who is able to determine before the foundation of the earth the final outcome of each and every man who would be given the freedom to walk the face of the earth and choose or reject when given that opportunity. Where am I going wrong?" For more "Ask Doctor Betters" episodes visit: http://markinc.org/ask-dr-betters/ "Ask Doctor Betters" is video series where every Monday Dr. Charles F.
