[Dr. Eckleburg]

I think all predestination is "strong" and valid.

I don't have any problem with God deciding how His universe should run. Judas was created by God so that you and I could share eternity in heaven.

All creation leads up to the Cross. God knew from before time that Judas would do exactly as he was meant to do, wanted to do, had to do...just like all of us.

All men are fallen. We are all Judas. But through the grace of God, some are given everlasting life, their sins paid for by Christ's sacrifice.

Yes, and all of us deserve hell, because we are sinners, the miracle is that any of us are saved.

But, is there any such thing as free will?
