BLOG POSTING, WEEK OF JUN 15, 2026: PREDESTINATION 7
Here are a few other possibilities on Predestination. A dear Christian friend who I knew and trusted for over 40 years said, "I believe in predestination 3 and 1/2 days a week, and I disbelieve in it 3 and 1/2 days a week." I LOVE IT! Because I have no better calculation of my own, I therefore tongue in cheek estimate that 50% of everything is predestined, arranged, an opportunity like Esther. It's a reasonable place to start, and it avoids the aberrations always associated with 100% Calvinism.
As a physicist, this is how a God who can work in BOTH directions in time should look to us one directional human creatures!
Another possibility IS rather far out, and I mention it only because Jesus did set the precedence. For decades I have been convinced that the human spirit is not created at conception or birth but has been around for a significant time prior to that. It seems that some, like Jesus, or perhaps Elijah-John, have heaven as theirs by virtue of covenant, faith, whatever, from way back, and are then here on a specific assignment for the benefit of another person or for God's specific purposes. It could mistakenly be thought that they were "predestined to be saved" because that salvation was from our present limited point of view, already theirs!
Remember, there is much about the spiritual realm which in our simplicity —
— we are clueless!
