And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.” - Genesis 4:7 ESV. Why did God bother to tell Cain that he had a choice and could rule of over sin unless Cain really did have a choice and really could rule over it? | |

The issue is, God has “consigned” all in unbelief in the present age. Yet He “foreknew”, “predestinated”, “called”, “justified” and glorified” (Rom 8:29-30) some in the present age. But He will show mercy to ALL (Rom 11:32 in future tense) in the coming age? | |
| Jan 9 at 21:18 | comment | added | Vincent Wong | @NepheshRoi - It appears to me that your argument is based on the meaning of "shut up" (strong 4788) that NASB translated. However, other English translations use words such as "imprisoned", "bound", "concluded" or "consigned". It is worth noting that God has provided a way to Salvation, and "Shut up" is not an absolute term. As Jesus said in Matt 9:12, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick". Romans 11:32 can be understood as "For God has bound everyone having sick so that he may heal them all". However, God is not responsible to those who don't think they are sick. | |
