Ayn Rand
“Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.”
If free will means, free will, then are our assumptions concerning predestination correct?
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits, that a blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer,, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
(The above mentioned Jacob, is not the individual, but the blinded/hardened part of Israel).

PREDESTINATION AND FREE WILL RECONCILED THROUGH THE MYSTERY OF THE HARDENING OF PART OF ISRAEL, REVEALED IN CHRIST JESUS
DEFINING SCRIPTURE BY SCRIPTURE

The necessity of this book comes for three main reasons:
1. To edify and bring unity in The Church
2. God is a God of peace and not confusion (1 Cor. 14:33 For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.)
3. Moving The Church from a balanced theology into a full reconciliation of predestination and free will.
Within the pages of this book, one will not find a “rehashing” of the tired old positions of the pure predestination position or the pure free will position. You will not find the man made constructs of “life as a canvas”, and you will not be told that you cannot understand God and will not understand Him until you get to heaven. What will be discussed is that we can understand God in the person of Jesus Christ. We will also see, through the laying out of scripture, that predestination and free will can be fully reconciled through the understanding of The Mystery of the Blindness/Hardening of a Part of Israel. This Mystery revealed in Christ, is multifaceted so the aspects will be laid out, only using scripture to define scripture for one to see the whole picture.
One must always trust in the Holy Spirit to lead us in all understanding, no matter how long it takes. When we make the love of God and Christ, the umpire of all of our studies of God and His Character, He will lead us to the truth.
Let us now see how free will, can indeed, be fully reconciled with the predestined elect, through the thorough understanding of the mystery of the hardening of part of Israel. Again, scripture will only be defined by scripture. Scripture will be systematically laid out to tell this story.
Within the pages of this book, you will find a total and complete support of the prevailing theme of God’s grace which can be summed up in John 3:16
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Man’s free will and the angel’s free will, operate only within the parameters of God’s PURPOSE.
I do not support the misunderstanding of election, that would in essence change the meaning of the above scripture to read something like: for God so loved his elect, that he sent his Son, and everyone else is totally depraved and are vessels, destined to perish. Please define for yourself in Hebrew and Greek, the definitions of hell and wrath. Wrath is not hell. I also do not support that there is only God’s will at work in our world because that would mean that God is sinning against himself. In God and Christ, there is no sin and they cannot sin. God is a thrice Holy God and cannot sin and does not sin against Himself. Christ is God, (part of the Trinity), and is/was sinless. Christ is the only person that was ever sinless. Christ did not sin, and God cannot sin. With all of the evil and sin in the world, we must not misunderstand this point. God is indeed Sovereign in the Universe, however the free will of angels and man exists within His Universe and do not negate His Sovereignty. We must not confuse God’s Sovereignty, with God’s Sovereign PURPOSEFUL DESIGN of our world.
As I stated before, the free will of mankind and the free will of angels, exist only within the parameters of God’s purpose.
I hope if you struggling with this subject, and how to reconcile free will and election, you will read on.
