When tested from Gods point of view, its 100% election. Tested from mans point of view, its 100% free choice.
So, I assume election is true and free choice is true, and the contradiction bothers me no more than an apparently self-contradictory theory which attempts to model reality.
I think you're on to something!
And, BTW, God isnt telling me whom is predestined. To try to guess is hubris.
Much agreed.
What I suggested in my post also helps with problems of the Trinity, for example. The “Father”, the “Son”, and the “Spirit” are the results of different “experiments.”
The question might be, “the electron, is it a wave, a particle, or energy?” and the answer is “yes.” But which? None and all, it is an electron.
Is God the Father, the Son, or the Spirit? The answer is “yes.” But which? None and all, He is simply God. You aren’t going to arrive at the definitive three dimensional model, because it can’t be done. God is not trapped as we are.
So when the Jehovah’s Witness asks, “Where was God while Jesus was dead on the cross?” the answer is, “where He always was.”
