Here is how I understand the doctrine of reprobation: "Reprobation is the sovereign decision of God before creation to pass over some persons, in sorrow deciding not to save them, and to punish them for their sins, and thereby to manifest his justice"
At first I was hurt and had to walk away from my reading when I read this (Reprobation). But when I came back one of the first things I read was this
"Iam speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying;my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen by race. They are Israelites...(Rom.9:1-4)
Here is how I think of it.I kind of ramble so I apologize.
God created everyone before they were even born. He also knows which creatures will sin and not find fault in their sin before they are even born. He also knows before anyone is born who will have harden hearts (Rom.11:7). God does not predestine us to Sin and not ask forgiveness. WE DO. God is fair and justice. We were only born into this world because of him and we are his creatures. He does not owe anything to us but by his Grace he comes and saves the people he wills.
If your going to make a point to someone or argue, at-least back it up with some scripture please.
If your going to argue against reprobation don't argue using human logic PLEASE. Only use scripture. Thank you!
