All those who are predestined for damnation reject Christ with all their heart. That's the sole reason why they are damned.
I think we are having some sort of misunderstanding. Are you a Calvinist?

It doesn't matter if I know or not because I didn't make me. If God made me knowing that I was going to hell but made me anyway then I was created to be damned.Yes, it is already known to God, but not to you! God knowing what you are going to do does not change what you are going to do. You are free to do anything you want, nobody is making you do anything. You can change what you do anytime you want, but the Lord already knows what you are going to do. He is not making you do anything! You are!
It is really easy to understand if we use our spiritual mind. The natural human mind just goes blank when trying to understand spiritual things.I see what you're saying.

I believe in the doctrine of predestination. I don't know if that makes me a Calvinist or not.
Technically, yes, but not in reality.But both Arminians and Calvinists believe that God knew which ones will be damned before creating them. God knows everything from the start.
Okay. Can I do this? Dare I do this? This is a pet peeve of mine, I admit, a Great Big one!
"Jesus died for all men!!!!" Did He die for women, too?
"All men can be saved if they choose to be saved." May women be saved, too?
Oh, I am going to hate myself in the morning. People don't start writing these things to be mean, but . . . .
God made you to have a free will to choose your destiny. He did not predestinate you to hell. If you do go there it is because you choose to not believe the truth that you can be saved.It doesn't matter if I know or not because I didn't make me.

Not anymore, my friend. Not in today's world. Love you anyway!"Men" means "mankind". Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene first, and then to the apostles. This has to mean something, in my opinion.

Alright. I don't have an issue with predestination. I just don't believe that God creates a child in the womb and just because He knows that child will be an atheist doesn't give them the opportunity to be saved.
Interesting thought! Maybe a new thread for it?Okay. Can I do this? Dare I do this? This is a pet peeve of mine, I admit, a Great Big one!

Men is plural for man. A woman is a man with a womb. hence wo-man. it is not referring to the male species but to mankind. male/femaleOkay. Can I do this? Dare I do this? This is a pet peeve of mine, I admit, a Great Big one!

My inclination. Oh, my inclination! My inclination was to say things I really would regret.Men is plural for man. A woman is a man with a womb. hence wo-man. it is not referring to the male species but to mankind. male/female
He can't, that is why we are saved by grace not works.Without the presence of God, regardless of a man's freewill, how can man ever choose to love God?
The opportunity is there for everyone, but most people choose to reject it. Those who choose to accept it did this only because God changed their minds. That's the way I see it. Why God doesn't change everybody's mind? Because he has chosen to demonstrate his power and justice on those who are disobedient.
