Predestination


In my study for tomorrow's sermon on predestination I stumbled across this little animation as well as this website . I admit, I am a Calvinist who is pretty at peace with the philosophy behind the idea... Problem with that is, most people are not at peace with it, so this is a great place to fuel your thoughts. Give both a look and let me know what you think. Tough topic!!

I know that anytime you involve an analogy about God's purposes and plans you end up pushing it too far, but on first viewing, I thought this was pretty good. If I were to criticize it, it would be that it seemed to be a bit of a chess match, back and forth on wills. Not sure how you could do it in an analogy, but it should be happening all the time. For example, who hardened Pharoah's heart, God or Pharoah? Answer - YES! ALL THE TIME!!
