So I read your link on Lapsarianism and thought it quite informative and to the point. Though I agree with the Calvinistic approach to predestination, I fail to see the import of the Lapsarian aspect of God's ordained will.
In my mind, there is no real order to any of these issues since order appears to constrain God to a timeline. I tend to think that all five aspects of God's ordained will occured simultaneously - no cause and effect required.
Hmmmm...that's a good point. I must admit I've never thought about the order but apparently it's the thing that divides the supralapsarians from the infralapsarians and so on. God is certainly out of time and would not have an order. But order is sometime how we can limitly understand God and His scriptures.
I'm fairly new to the reform belief but when I discovered it, to me it seemed like a no-brainer. I've wondered how I could have missed this all these years as all the scriptures fall into place. As far as the finer points of the theology, I'm still slugging my way through.
