BLOG POSTING, WEEK OF MAY 25, 2026: PREDESTINATION 4
After decades of walking with the Lord, I find "steps of faith" continue to be required. Each new level of maturity, intimacy, or gifting that God makes available does still require entry; then after entry each new level has both extra blessings and extra responsibilities from the “but if” clauses stuck onto the covenant associated with that level. Each level allows God to view and respond to you in new ways. And those ways are always a mix of unconditional and very conditional.
It is this ongoing lifelong pattern of acts of faith, entry, apprenticeship, blessing, and "but if" terms of covenant, that help convince me that the 100% predestination picture some people paint just is NOT real. Way too much seems left up to what YOU seek after — or build a defensive wall against.
Note that it is only the 100% predestination I am saying is wrong! Is the number 20% or 80%, or are there other options, that will be discussed latter.
It is the 100% thinking that leads to aberrations about God.
