Foreordination & Predestination

Monday afternoon, August 4, 2008 [RAINING!],
The following is what Dr. John Gerstner had to say about "foreordination": "'Foreordination is the comprehensive, all-inclusive term. This informs us that there is nothing at all in the whole universe which is exempt from this pre-ordinating of the Eternal God. Thus, if it be a stone or an animal, if it be a man or an angel, if it be in this world or some other, if it be in the past or the future, if it be in heaven or in hell, it makes no difference what it is, where it is, when it is—'foreordination' teaches that it is the outworking of the eternal God." [John H. Gerstner, A Predestination Primer (Winona Lake, Indiana: Baker Book House, 1960), 4]
This is what he had to say about "predestination": "Now when we come to the doctrine of predestination, we come to consider a part, and only a part, of 'foreordination.' As we said, 'foreordination' pertains to everything, but predestination pertains only to a part of the total whole—a very small part of the total whole. As far as importance is concerned, however, and especially importance for us, it is incomparably more significant than anything else which falls within the foreordination of God. Predestination is that part of foreordination which deals with the actions of free moral agents, be they angels, men, or devils. This doctrine teaches that God foreordains specifically the actions of free moral agents." [John H. Gerstner, A Predestination Primer (Winona Lake, Indiana: Baker Book House, 1960), 5]
Suppose, if only for a minute, that God from the foundation of the world has predetermined your actions, that He has foreordained not only that you travel a certain road, but also the steps you take along the road.
Now, before the "minute" is over, tell me what you are feeling.

Blessings and wonder,
