I had a conversation with a friend the other day, and it went something like this:
Friend: "I believe that our names were written in the Book of Life before we were born."
Me: "What do you mean?"
Friend: "It says in the Bible that God chose us, that we didn't choose Him."
Me: "What about those who won't be saved? Are their names in the Book too, or has God predestined them to go to Hell?"
Friend: "Their names are removed from the Book of Life once they have rejected Christ."
Me: "I thought only the names of those who have been saved are in the Book of Life."
Friend: "No, everybodys' names were in the Book to begin with, and only the names of those who go on to reject Christ are removed."
That night I thought about what my friend had said, and wasn't sure what to believe about this.......
What do you folks think?
