Hello all,
I was having a discussion with family over the holidays, and we spoke about God, and I brought up that I am a 5 point Calvinist.
And the family member asked, what is the purpose of the judgement, if God has already chosen before the foundations of the earth, and elect people, who will come to faith, because God has planned this to happen.
They went on to ask, whats the point of the judgement, if the non believer, never has a chance, why have a judgement.
I went on to explain, that God is 100% just for casting everyone into hell, because we are all fallen and sinner, and that God is merciful for granting life to those who chooses to.
But in a sense, I don't see a reason for a judgement, as the outcome has already been determined.
