Are you a hyper-Calvinist?

Do you think Romans 9 should be interpreted independently of all other scripture?

Originally posted by @dj2beckerI never said that. I said some of us have no choice and it is possible no one has a choice.
First quote the exact words from Romans 9 that you think mean none of us have a choice.
Read the entire chapter.

Some of us have no choice to do what? Obey God? Harden our hearts?

2. Would you consider the possibility that you were 'predestined for hell?'

Yes and yes all to the glory of God.
You believe that hell is a literally (as described in the bible"s book Revelation of Jesus Christ) real place, a place created by God for the eternal torture of unbelievers through being burnt alive.
You also believe that this same God created a large amount of people whom he predestined to be in this place for eternity, with no chance to escape and no hope of salvation or reprieve.
...and you're OK with this?

I am saying how many are predestined but some. That is beyond question. My question is stiol unanswered. What scripture is there for free will?
