I have not been able to decide where I fit on the supra/infra debate. The more I delve into the subject, the more I get confused. Both sides have strong appeals to me.

Well, the problem is, my gut was to be infralapsarian. But, it was an Arminian friend (of all people) who convinced me of the illogic of that position. He asked, if Romans 9 speaks of God sovereignly electing whom He will, how could I think he doesnt elect whom He will to reprobation? I couldn't answer that.

Incidentally, this Arminian friend and I have found that the bulk of our disagreement is quite, quite minor: I believe in irresistible grace, he believes in prevenient grace. We can live with that; the difference between the two of us is almost mere semantics. We discuss it only in a friendly manner, and both learn from it.
