Iaiah 14:24 The rd f ht ha wrn aying, Surely, jut a I have intended it ha happened, and jut a I have planned it will tand. Rman 9 17 Fr the Scripture ay t Pharah, Fr thi very purpe I raied yu up, t demntrate My pwer in yu, and that My name might be prclaimed thrughut the whle earth. 18 S then He ha mercy n whm He deire, and He harden whm He deire. 11

3 Even evil eem t be rdained f Gd. Iaiah 45:7 The One frming light and creating darkne, cauing well-being and creating calamity; I am the rd wh de all thee. A thelgy that attribute everything t Gd will and cntrl, make it difficult t ee the difference between Gd and the devil. Act 4 27 Fr truly in thi city there were gathered tgether againt Thy hly ervant Jeu,... bth Herd and Pntiu Pilate, alng with the Gentile and the peple f Irael 28 t d whatever Thy hand and Thy purpe predetined t ccur. Sme frm f human free will mut be repected fr everal rean. N thelgy i wrth believing that cannt be preached tanding in frnt f the gate f Auchwitz Human mral repnibility (freedm) i al well atteted in Scripture. Jhn3:16 "Fr Gd lved the wrld, that He gave Hi nly begtten Sn, that whever believe in Him huld nt perih, but have eternal life. The image f Gd in all human invlve the ability t repnd t Gd. Free vlitin i aumed in much f the Biblical narrative and teaching. Ethic, jut judgment, warning, reward, lve, etc. are meaningle withut human freedm. Free vlitin i neceary t preerve human repnibility fr in and evil. Free vlitin i neceary t preerve Gd integrity a cnitently hly, jut, and lving Divine freknwledge i mentined in Scripture. Rman 8:29 Fr whm He freknew, He al predetined t becme cnfrmed t the image f Hi Sn, that He might be the firt-brn amng many brethren; 1 Peter 1 1 T the wh reide a alien, cattered thrughut Pntu, Galatia, Cappadcia, Aia, and Bithynia, wh are chen 2 accrding t the freknwledge f Gd the Father, by the anctifying wrk f the Spirit, t bey Jeu Chrit and be prinkled with Hi bld: 1 Timthy 2:6 wh gave Himelf a ranm fr all, 2 Peter 3:9 The rd i... nt wihing fr any t perih but fr all t cme t repentance

4 Tw cncept 1. Frerdinatin (predetinatin) - Gd decree befre creatin a t what wuld and wuld nt happen. 2. Freknwledge - Gd ene f what wuld happen (thrugh free chice) befre it ccurred. 18 Three undertanding f the relatinhip between Gd freknwledge and Hi frerdinatin. 1. Frerdinatin precede Freknwledge. (Jhn Calvin) 2. Freknwledge precede Frerdinatin. (Jhn Weley) 3. Freknwledge and Frerdinatin are ineparable a a part f Gd creatin f the age. (a mytery t tempral thught) Gd creative wrk included bth the univere (cm) and hitry (ain) Hebrew 1:2 in thee lat day (Gd) ha pken t u in Hi Sn, whm He appinted heir f all thing, thrugh whm al He made the wrld (ain). Hebrew 11:3 By faith we undertand that the wrld (ain) were prepared by the wrd f Gd, Epheian 2:2, 3:21 yu frmerly walked accrding t the cure (ain) f thi wrld (cm). t all generatin frever (ain) and ever (ain) On thi iue we have limited acce t widm. Deuternmy 29:29 The ecret thing belng t the rd ur Gd, but the thing revealed belng t u and t ur n frever, that we may berve all the wrd f thi law. 1 Crinthian 13:12 Fr nw we ee in a mirrr dimly, but then face t face; nw I knw in part, but then I will knw fully jut a I al have been fully knwn. Hebrew 11:3 By faith we undertand that the wrld (ain) were prepared by the wrd f Gd, that what i een wa nt made ut f thing which are viible. 21 We will ak the quetin but cannt demand a full explanatin. Rman 9 16 S then it de nt depend n the man wh will r the man wh run, but n Gd wh ha mercy. 17 Fr the Scripture ay t Pharah, Fr thi very purpe I raied yu up, t demntrate My pwer in yu, and that My name might be prclaimed thrughut the whle earth. 18 S then He ha mercy n whm He deire, and He harden whm He deire. 19 Yu will ay t me then, Why de He till find fault? Fr wh reit Hi will? 20 On the cntrary, wh are yu, O man, wh anwer back t Gd? The thing mlded will nt ay t the mlder, Why did yu make me like thi, will it? 21 Or de nt the ptter have a right ver the clay, t make frm the ame lump ne veel fr hnrable ue, and anther fr cmmn ue? 22 Hw de Gd wrk all thing tgether fr hi purpe? Predetinatin Epheian 1 11 al we have btained an inheritance, having been predetined accrding t Hi purpe wh wrk all thing after the cunel f Hi will, 12 t the end that we wh were the firt t hpe in Chrit huld be t the praie f Hi glry. 23

The Cr f Chrit - It wa unjut but Gd ued it fr gd. Culd Gd lve and repect fr the created in Hi image limit Hi ablute cntrl f them? Jeph captivity (Gen.50:20) - It wa evil but Gd ued it fr gd. What i painful fr yu right NOW - It i a dr t develp r demntrate the image f Chrit Cnideratin #2 Cnideratin #2 I Gd lving, vereign, pwer MANAGED BY HIS CREATIVE WISDOM? I Gd lving, vereign, pwer MANAGED BY HIS CREATIVE WISDOM? Whe ine i it Anyway? They create humr ut f anything. 28 Gd changed cha t cm (in part) thrugh natural mean. Genei 1 29

D we pe the mney upn depit r withdrawal? ike a grandmater in che, Gd can ee hw hitry i et up t enable certain thing t unfld, and He Carlen Magnu ue thi a a part f Hi prvidential plan. 30 Peter Kreeft 31 Calvinim emphaize divine vereignty and free grace; Arminianim emphaize human repnibility. The ne retrict the aving grace t the elect; the ther extend it t all men n the cnditin f faith. Bth are right in what they aert; bth are wrng in what they deny. If ne imprtant truth i preed t the excluin f anther truth f equal imprtance, it becme an errr, and le it hld upn the cncience. The Bible give u a thelgy which i mre human than Calvinim, and mre divine than Arminianim, and mre Chritian than either f them. It i the Gdfather, nt Gd the Father, wh make yu an ffer yu can t refue. Philip Schaff, Hitry f the Chritian Church, v. VIII: What i the take-hme f thi tudy? Gd Grace huld inpire awe and wrhip nt paivity and fatalim r pride and fear. Rman 11:33 Oh, the depth f the riche bth f the widm and knwledge f Gd! Hw unearchable are Hi judgment and unfathmable Hi way! 34 Interpretatin f Scripture - Apprach apparent cntradictin in the Bible repnibly. Wrhip - Develp an undertanding f Gd integrity, which will inpire repect and trut. Tlerance - Gain undertanding / repect fr differing thelgical view. Repnibility - Dn t be fatalitic but Accept repnibility fr yur deciin, attitude, etc. Humility - Embrace an enlightened view f Chritian grace, truth, and human nature. 35
