Let me address HUGGY74 assumptions on predestination.
God or Nature has a book.
The Book has details of human beings actions and mistakes. Therefore, the end of the story is known (free-will within predestination).
We are trying to find out if:
God/Jesus is the narrator(author)
or
Nature is the narrator(author)?
Which is more highly probable?
1. Let's assume that "Earth and Heaven passing away" in the Luke gospel passage is speaking about Jerusalem being destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. rather than a future event (Isaiah earlier uses the previous analogy to describe the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians).
2. Why would God/Jesus assign Paul for his mission if Paul already said Jesus will return during his era? (1st Corinthians 7:26-29, yes, the rest is through verse 40. I am aware of this but what about the earlier verses?)
3. Why would Paul and John (author of the Book of Revelation) disagree over foods sacrificed to idols?
(1st Corinthians 8:1-13 versus Revelation 2:14)
Paul and John are disputing a matter. You know what the key word is? "stumbling block" they both use it !!!
Paul uses it in 1st Corinthians 8:9 !!! They are fighting over doctrine!!!
This means that Paul wrote the book of Ephesians to defend himself against Jewish Christians like the writer of the Book of Revelation.
if anyone would read Ephesians and the Book of Revelation you would see the ideological battle taking hold between the two camps centered around , at first, with FOODS SACRIFICED TO IDOLS.
He attacks John (The writer of the Book of Revelation) at Ephesians 4:22!
It seems that Paul won a part of the battle concerning the inclusion of Gentile Christians into the fold of early Christianity(Romans 10:12,Romans 11:23-25) as this is apparent in the Book of Revelation (Chapters 7 and 14).
You then could read John's defense (and attack) against Paul's accusations because he includes Ephesus (Revelation 2:1-7).
4. Why would James be the early arbitrator between both camps (Acts 15:19-29, 21:18-25 and James 4:1-12)?
If the book of Revelation was the last book written then it followed the directions of the early church leadership concerning ...FOODS SACRIFCED TO IDOLS!
Now, everybody, are these conditions still active today ???
NO!
5. The Book of Revelation main error is the previous subject of FOODS SACRIFICED TO ROMAN IDOLS IN THE MARKETPLACE!
These conditions no longer exist. What is the evidence?
REVELATION 1:7 (The Romans pierced him - Jesus).
REVELATION 2:14 (Going to the Roman marketplace to purchase sacrificed foods is banned following James' earlier order).
REVELATION 9:4 (Those who obeyed the command will receive the mark of God)
REVELATION 14:9 (Those who disobeyed the command will receive the mark of the Beast and will be bound to hell-fire).
*Note: These marks are spiritual marks copying what Ezekiel had said in Ezekiel 9:4 !!!*
Therefore, REVELATION chapter 13 is describing Ceaser NERO who is "666"!
5. Therefore, there is no predestination because of the previous reasons described. Why would God/Jesus allow John to express the food sacrificed to idols situation? Why would Paul disobey an order? Why are they ...fighting or disagreeing over the issue?
What is wrong with the narrator(author)? It is not God/Jesus!
