God, come out, come out wherever you are!

[Neo-Scholastic]

Predestination and election both are clearly and explicitly stated in God's word.... I present exegetical arguments...What you happen to find absurd is not exactly relevant (beyond its autobiographical value).

You have merely restated your claim that predestination and election are explicitly found in the Word. I pointed out parts of scripture that suggest a different exegisis as follows. God sets before us the paths of life and of death. He then asks us to choose our path. This suggests a real choice, not a forced one. Your stated position is that much of humanity has been created solely for condemnation and for no other purpose than eternal torment. And according to your exegisis, they have no choice in the matter. As such, your position contradicts every call for repentance in the Word, because according to you, the capacity for repentence has been intentionally withheld from the damned by their creator, meaning that God has acted against his own desires. The supposed distinction you presented between passive and active condemnation only disguises God's responsibility for having setting some on a course for destruction (active) and then failing to stop (passive) the outcome he intended and planned. Your interpretation makes God cruel and arbitrary.
