Rom 8:30
Eph 1:11
I am currently one who holds to the absolute authority and sovereignty of God, meaning that I chose to accept the scriptures relating to predestination at face value. Many Christians here won't agree with this view, some extremely so as predestination seems to imply the exclusion of free will.
I also hold to the strategy that in order to understand the truth of a matter of core doctrine one has to see that truth upheld throughout the bible. For example I reject the trinity fundamentally because the notion of three distinct people/personalities/persons/entities in one god is not sustained through the whole bible - you will have seen me write many times: "hear oh Israel The Lord your god is one" for example.
Now with predestination, let's consider Noak's ark. God was very explicit with the dimensions of the ark, but why was it so small when there was many more people being preached to by Noah than could possibly fit within it? Is this an early example of predestination?
