    Was not GOD saying these words to Jeremiah "after the fact" of Jeremiah's having become a prophet?

    I believe I had/have free choice - but - GOD foreknew/foreknows my decisions just like HE did Jeremiah's.

    Ro 3:11 Used the word "None" for understanding and seeking.

    If none seek and none understand how does man choice to be saved.

    Is that part of being save that no matter what we do we can not be removed from His love.

    And does not God even use the Bad thing we do to bring about Good for us.

    and what is the diffrents between predestinate & foreknow

    No, Jeremiah had no choice in the matter.

    If I recall correctly, Jonah also had a choice whether or not to preach to Ninevah. Just thought I'd throw that into the mix. [​IMG]

    On British-Israelism and Jeremiah:

    "The House of Israel exists to-day as the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic peoples, awaiting the day of full restoration when they will return wholeheartedly to God and be cleansed of all unrighteousness."
    Primogenesis, Howard B. Rand, 1953

    Jeremiah, according to them, died in Ireland and was buried there, awaiting the resurrection and his own justification in seeing "Israel" get right with God. Why Ireland? The book does not say, except it would be part of the House of David under the British-Israelism scheme of things.

    I offer this just as a source for the notion that Jeremiah died and was buried in Ireland.....not that I believe it to be true.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Philippians 2:13
    For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

    You image if Jonah had said no once again God would have destroy him or would he have put little more persuasion into play to make him do what he wanted him to do?

    I think Jonah was going to Ninevah.

    I have a son at home who has a free will. BUT!!! When I want him to pick-up his room one way or another sooner or later he is going to clean that room. He may not like it but my will will be done (On this point).

    Jonah like us so mean time tell God NO! But our father in heaven does not take no for an answer.

    Helen is correct. Simply because you do not see the word "ordain" in I Sam. 10:1 does not mean God has not established the office. Several times David displayed his honor and respect for "the Lord's anointed" by not touching Saul. And herein is the problem. People do not make a distinction between office and person. IMO, God ordains the office not the person filling the office. This is why Saul had a choice. This is also why Jeremiah had a choice. But if you choose to believe God ordains the person, choice is irrelevant.

    Did Saul have a choice? Does Rom. 9 say that we all have no choice?
