Partially true.

I believe some people are predestined to be saved.

But I don’t think anyone’s predestined to be damned.

Too many verses go against the idea that everyone’s destiny is sealed the moment they’re born.

Plus, it’s not (imo) fair at all to predestine someone to be damned without giving him the choice of whether he wants to be born.

Who is in charge of this?

So ones who you say are predestined, what does that mean exactly?

How do you explain this?

“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

(2 Peter 3:9)

Does that sound like man has no say in whether he’s saved or damned?

That means they’ll come to a saving knowledge and belief in Jesus Christ no matter what.

I think you do have to explain it.

Explain how they exist in parallel - and how that’s even possible.

Edit: And do it now.
