Bible Question: If only the elect are saved, then doesn't that mean that God has created human beings who are not elected, and therefore doomed to eternal Hell? |
Bible Answer: halltrip: Your question might possibly be dealt with more satisfactorily if you would identify the meaning you attach to certain words and concepts contained therein, viz., the word "elect" -- what is your understanding of the meaning of this biblical term? And whence came the implied concept that God continues His process of creation beyond the sixth day? It is easy to infer by your question that you believe that God continues to create human beings. Does He? Read the first few chapters of Genesis. It will teach you not only about God's creation but also about His plan for procreation. Count the number of times the phrase, "after its kind," is used. ....... Scripture does not teach that God "created" any human being for the purpose of dooming him to hell. Consider 2 Peter 3:9. --Hank |
