I took that from the "
Ages" thread as it seemed to be more in line with this study.
Thank you for this presentment.
Does the Bible teach election – YES, and does the Bible teach Free Will – YES.
Both truths are taught, but what is never taught but is inferred by the Calvanist
is that God has chosen some (what he calls the negative side of election) for damnation.
That is Heresy.
I am not calling you a Calvanist, but much of what you present in this paper reflects
the Calvan interpretation.
The question worth asking is do you believe that God has knowledge of the future?
