no there is no thing as predestination as the calvinists teach let alone double predestination
There is a predestination unto salvation from sin and condemnation, and if that's biblical, and
it is indeed, then there's a predestination for those
who were not part of the election of grace. Those of the Reformed community of believers reject double predestination, showing their lack of understanding, or their secret bias feelings against this truth. But, I must remind them that God is indebted to
no one, and no one deserves His mercy, but that's freely given based upon
nothing but the will of God to show mercy to whomsoever He will. If that is too hard for any to accept, then they can tell God when stand before him, but, I would advise you and everyone else including myself, to humbly submit our wisdom and thoughts to the word of God,
not to what we think is fair, love and equality for all, but to what we read from the holy scriptures and holy they are, but not our thoughts, reasoning of fairness and equality for all. Who are we, nothing more than worm's of the earth in the sight of the Lord God, who ways and acts are based upon pure righteousness who is the
ONLY judge that counts in such matters. civic, look at the world today when a microphone is put before them and then listen to their foolish talk on fairness as these Harvard students and grads, and other folks from our higher educational universities speak on fairness! It would drive a righteous person in sane, if he had to listen to this every single day. What comes from most pulpit is no better, if not worse!
Acts 13:48
“And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and
as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.”
Jude 1:4
“For there are certain men crept in unawares,
who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and
denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Those who denied the only Lord Jesus Christ are preachers of the gospel, preaching another jesus, when they preach against the Lord's atonement as
fierce hungry lions, going after those who teach a
limited atonement just as the word of God teaches, they fall guilty before this scripture, and others that say the same ~ Jesus Christ gave his life for THE CHURCH not for all men
without exception, but all men
without distinction, Jews and Gentiles and among these he has a chosen people for whom he died for. This denying of the scriptures teachings on the Lord's death, comes daily from the pulpits around this world, through TV, radios, Christian forums, and all forms of social media.
Ezekiel 18:29
“Yet saith the house of Israel,
The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways
equal? are not your ways unequal?”
Isaiah 55:8
“For my thoughts
are not your thoughts, neither
are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.”
Proverbs 8:32
“
Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed
are they that keep my ways.”
