Philip said:I can not recall one time when I have seen apo translated as 'before'. Could you offer an example of this, preferably one from Scriptures?
I will see if I can find one tonight, when I have access to my resources. However, it really doesn't matter, other than I was answering Van's silly idea that "from" somehow excluded Election. The nmaes in the Book of Life have been there isnce the beginning. there are no "TBD" (to be determined) entries in that Book. That fact alone disproves Van's false doctrine of generic conditional election.
Van also stated that under his theory, God chooses ( or elects) those who love Him, which can only be seen as a reward for "correct" behavior, and consititues a work on man's part, and an obligation on God's part. If it is of works, it is no more faith, but works, as Paul says.
Van's logic falls apart on close examination, and all of his bluff and bluster do not hide that clear fact. His generic conditional election doctrine is fiction and false.
