Struggling with predestination...

[dogs4thewin]

This is what really seals it for me. To struggle with God choosing is largely because it seems so darn unfair. Do you REALLY want fair?

Really? Ok,we all go to hell.

If you really believe that,then who are YOU to tell God that from grace He might elect a remnant unto Himself? Can He do it without violating His attributes or character? I think He can.


And.....of course God has favorites! He doesn't have to answer to us! Only Abraham was chosen out of the Ur of Chaldees,why just him? Why Jacob and not Esau? The list can go on and on where no merit of their own God favored them.

I would think if we WANTED Hell He would grant that.

We don't reign here.

I talked with a psychiatric nurse once on the subject of suicide. It stuck in my mind what she said "The will to live is very strong". So I believe the will to live is built into all of our systems and people suffer hard and long before killing themselves. No one in their right mind CAN choose hell.
