VERSUS....
The Word teaches that God will sthat all men be saved, making it impossible for there to be a predetermined election of the individual.
Redemption is offered to everyone, and anyone can be saved accordingto their own choice.
Under no circumstances can anyone continue in sin after salvation and maintain their salvation.
The Bible teaches that nations, and not individuals, were predestined. Any individuals noted were representative of their NATION or the progenitors of a nation that actually experienced controlled events by God. In
Romans 9, Esau never served Jacob, but Esau's descendents served Jacob's descendents, showing the issue is NATIONAL. Pharaoh stood for Egypt, not for himself.
