Double predestination makes no sense.

Joshua 24:15 - "But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."

Is there some new meaning for the word "choose"?

Well if God ordained the elect to eternal life then He also elected those He did not choose for judgment by His inaction.

So whether it was a direct ordination or a passive one the result is the same.

Because I believe God is the 1st cause of every event I happen to be a double predestinarian . There are no accidents or unintended consequences with God

God’s omniscience before the world was created.

Either:

1. He knew what He was going to do prior to that (or)
2. He knew what everyone else was going to do.

Then He created that which He knew would turn out a particular way.

Can His knowledge of that have been wrong? If so, then He is not omniscient. Could He not have known? If so, He is not omniscient.
