So back to my other question. :) If you believe Calvinism is 100% correct than you must if also believe if you had 3 children, God may not have chosen any of them for salvation. If that were the case, why are there scriptures like these in the Bible that appear to indicate that you as a parent could have some bearing on where your children will end up spiritually? Proverbs 23: [color=#800080]13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. 14 [b]Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.[/b] [/color] Proverbs 22:15 [color=#800080]15Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.[/color] Proverbs 22:6 [color=#800080] 6Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.[/color]
