 To what extent did Paul have say-so over the choice he mentions in Philippians 2:23? |

This came up in Sunday school this morning. One person was of the opinion (but not dogmatic) that the wording implied Paul had a choice over whether to go on or not. (I'm guessing this is a result of Kenneth Hagin's teaching that a person can choose when he or she wants to die).
I was of the opinion that Paul wasn't actually getting to choose, that he was just laying out the pros and cons of the possibilities of getting a death sentence and was saying even if it were up to him, he would have a hard time choosing whether to live and continue to minister or to go on be with Christ. Of course, I didn't have time to say that in Sunday school; I only had time to go on record as saying I disagreed with the other person's opinion.

Funny, I don't see that as being any where close to him choosing. It seemed he was 'standingby', ready to take what was to come along.
But I ain't very deep into 'guessing' and I sure don't know
