New guy looking for explanations about Compatibilism.
Is there anyone here who believes that God decreed/predestined everything that happens within His creation? By everything I mean everything . all activity . from the chemical interactions in a living cell to colliding galaxies millions of light years away to the thoughts of a human being contemplating god.
I have a friend who introduced me to such a notion, but there are still some questions I have about the details involved in his compatibilistic belief system, and Im wondering if it is held widely enough to be able to get others opinions.
One example of this persons belief is that God (the potter) has fashioned most of humanity for damnation and only a relatively few (the Elect) for salvation. I didnt have enough time to obtain adequate scriptural evidence to be convinced, and would like to pursue it, as well as other notions.
Anyone care to dialog?
