Double predestination |
Lead | ||
|
I wish I could find the comments I saw not so long ago regarding this. The person commenting had a interesting way of speaking of it as he fit it into a larger
context. I found his thoughts interesting and he had a fancy name for it and as best I can remember it may have started with a p. But he more or less defined
double predestination as the belief that some are born and have no chance at all of redemption no matter how things go for them and regardless of whatever
decisions they make. I hope my memory is serving me correctly. I thought this was basically the view surrounding the basic belief of predestination. How would
double predestination (if anyone even thinks about it and has defined it) differ from the standard view of predestination?
"And it will be said in that day, "Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us. This is the Lord for whom we have
waited; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation." (Isaiah 25:9)

I cannot speak to the comments you are referring.
IIIMill gives a good answer to what is double predestination. The best answer that I came upon is by RC Sproul in his book, "Essential Truths of the Christian Faith." In chapter 58, "Predestination and Reprobation", he writes the following excerpt. Predestination is double. The only way to avoid the doctrine of double predestination is to either affirm that God predestinates everybody to election or that He predestinates no one to either election or reprobation. Since the Bible clearly teaches predestination to election and denies universal salvation, we must conclude that predestination is double. It includes both election and reprobation. Double predestination is unavoidable if we take Scripture seriously. What is crucial, however, is how double predestination is understood.He further goes on to explain the hardening of Pharaoh and the 'hate' toward Esau.
