Discussion on GOD’s Election to Love Some &
“I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy”
[Ex 33:19; Ro 9:15-16; Ro 9:13 [quoting Malachi 1:2]
It was only back in 2017 when I first heard of this concept
and it was from the Reformed TULIP, so not a good time,
as it was way too much information all at once.

But I thought everyone who apparently builds their
life on sand was predestined to do so. Am I wrong?

Not predestine. Pre-determined

@Aletheia what’s the difference?
Comment: May 24, 2023 @8:10AM | Aletheia
@Zach The difference is the Greek words that the
Bible uses. The Greek word for the Elect is actually
preboundreed or pre-Horisoned. The Greek word
for the non-elect is pre-written.
If GOD wanted to use the same words for both
HE would have, but HE didn’t.

@Aletheia so the problem is we don’t speak Greek,
Hebrew, and Aramaic. And mistaken translations
that use predestined. Again what’s the difference
between predestined and predetermined?

Z The difference would be the Greek word for
Predestined has to do with light & the truth.
The Greek word for the unelect doesn’t.
If you think about it, there are three different kinds of Pre-Determined events.
First and earliest is History, what has already happened and can influence future events.
Second we have Fate, what happens here and now and needs a split second answer before it could be counted as History.
Finally is Destiny, which contrary to what people think would be is infinite possibilities between a fraction of a fraction of a second away to the end of time itself. These possibilities are determined by the History before it, which would include the Fate.
The moral of this story: Nothing is actually Pre-Determined. Everything in History used to be Fate and before that used to be Destiny.
