It can be very confusing, and I'm not sure I have a satisfactory answer yet, but I'll always continue seeking the Truth about this. I have a feeling that it will boil down to two concepts: one of which will be hard to grasp, and the other perhaps easier. Since God is outside of time, He has an eternal perspective we don't have. We can try to think about it a bit, but, basically, we have to live practically here on earth. So I'm interested in the <em>practical</em> aspect of God's Sovereignty as we live our lives day by day. Hopefully, my research will provide some good precepts for us to go by. Thanks Chris for your questions.

Found you thru swerve. I've been wrestling with predestination, as in "If God created me with free will, and I've used it to choose Him, why did he design others to have the type of will that would NOT choose him?" The implication being that His designing and creating all has purpose, which indirectly means He planned some to have the flaw in their person (design) to not choose Him with their supposed free will. It's all very confusing to me, and I've been a christian since I was a kid. Love to see how this goes. Found you thru swerve.
