He predestinated those of us who HE chose with no reason given...

This is a huge step up from the Calvinist position that there was no reason for our election (it was UNconditional) except HE liked the election of only some and not others.

Is it really such a blasphemy to think that we can know what HIS reason was by HIS later day revelation? That the reason depends upon our having had a pre-earth existence is also not a blasphemy against HIS goodness even though it is highly heretical in light of orthodoxy's commitment to both our being created on earth and to the blasphemy of our inherited sin from Adam. Heresy is against church doctrine so every sect today is heretical from one point of view or another.

PS
Your choice of font and the shadow box is highly distinctive but it is also almost unreadable. It is to your credit that I find in your thoughts the reason to force myself to dig beneath the surface details of appearance to understand the message...but it is a chore.

You said: "except HE liked the election of only some and not others."

Usually when someone tells me they know what GOD likes and dislikes, it is time to quite speaking with them.....You are no different.

Have a good day.Blade


Once again you have proven that your animosity to PCE lends itself to knee jerk reactions caused by a (wilful? culpable??) misinterpretation of what I wrote. My quote,

"This is a huge step up from the Calvinist position that there was no reason for our election (it was UNconditional) except HE liked the election of only some and not others."
clearly refers to Calvinists as knowing what GOD likes or dislikes ! so you should be joining me in castigatening them, not basing a rejection of my work on such a misconception that I endorse Calvinism!


Now, the essence of what I wrote was that your assertion that there was no reason given for our predestination is a step up from the Calvinist assertion that the predestination of some to hell before their creation pleased HIM. If you want to argue that 'no reason' is NOT better than 'HE liked it to be that way', be my guest!


 Your statement with pompous disdain also rejects all the hundreds of places in the bible in which GOD has written about what HE likes and loves and what HE dislikes and hates... Surely we can extrapolate from these revelations by the leading of the Spirit to know that HE does NOT hate nor love arbitrarily but has a good solid reasons so any good solid reason (such as: our predestination was based upon our free will choice to put our faith in HIM as telling us the truth OR as rejecting to put our faith in HIM as a liar and a false god) must be considered.
