Vessels of Wrath Fitted for Destruction.

I am very interested in Reformed theology, mostly because there is a whole wing of my family that belongs to the "Protestant Reformed Church," a Dutch Calvinist denomination in West Michigan (Dutch immigrant territory) and elsewhere.

I understand that Reformed theology teaches the doctrine of predestination -- that God has preordained that he would render infinite and eternal penalties of suffering upon certain sinners. Is this an accurate statement of the doctrine of predestination?

I was just wondering what evidence you have to believe such things about God's way of responding to humanity?

My cousins aren't so good at apologetics, so I like to come to good sources!

Merci Beaucoup!

well let me just get in a premptive strike ............ there is no injustice with God .

Men earn condemnation , the wages of sin is death (eternal seperation from God ) and the Free Gift of life is all of Grace , so there really is no reason to be troubled .

Should it be argued that God is unfair and uncompassionate , let it be remembered that God owes no man anything (except condemnation) , and that the Gospel message is declared to "all men" .......... it is man's fault that he cannot respond to light , but rather chooses darkness .
