When did the triune God decide to create the universe and put the human race on earth?
The triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—decided in eternity past, before anything was created, to create the universe and place the human race on planet earth. This decision came from the determinate counsel of their three minds, according to foreknowledge and predeterminate counsel.
Les teaches that way back in eternity past, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit came together and by a determinate agreeing of their three minds decided to create the universe and put the human race on planet earth. They knew in foreknowledge that the human race would fall in the man Adam, and they knew in that predeterminate counsel that one person of the triune God would have to be a Redeemer. Everything moved according to that predeterminate counsel of Acts chapter 2. As a small part of that big picture, according to the same triune counsel, God put His finger on every one of us and said, “I have a place waiting for you.” We are in that predetermined position put there by the counsel of the triune God before anything was ever created. Les notes the argument about whether we are elected or chose by free will, but affirms whosoever will sits over here.
