@BritishFailedAesthetic God placed in all of us, a consciousness of Himself. That is why we know the difference between right and wrong. And the Bible says He gave each of us a Measure of Faith. He gave the world knowledge of Himself, so we could [i]choose[/i] whom we wish to believe in and serve, out of all the beliefs. That means choice, not predestination. If it were predestination, then John 3:16 and 17 would not say that [u]whosoever believes[/u] can definitely have eternal life.
