I am reading a fiction Christian book right now (Comes a Horseman) that talks a lot about the Doctrine of Election. I have always heard about the theory, but never really paid it much attention. So, I looked into it last night -- very interesting theory and argument in support. Don't get me wrong -- I am not turning into a Calvinist. I just think it is an interesting concept. What do you think? Does God pre-pick people to be "saved" and therefore damns some to hell regardless of free will?
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began;
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 2 TIMOTHY 1:9, 10.
