@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 choose 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 whosoever believes can definitely have eternal life.
