ECT What is Predestination?

[Jerry Shugart]

Thanks for supporting my view… many fail to see this fact of scripture…! We are chosen by lot ... like John's Father to enter the Temple!

I don't support your view.

Here is the meaning of the word at Ephesians 1:11:

"Once in NT: to make a lot, i.e. a heritage, private possession" (Thayer's Greek English Lexicon).

That is not saying we are chosen by lot.
