"Unconditional Election: BEFORE CREATION GOD HAS ELECTED FOR HIS OWN REASONS SOME FOR BELIEVING UNTO GLORY AND SOME FOR DAMNATION."

Nope.

I would suggest: God has elected, in accordance with His own will, and without regard for the merit of those elected (due to the fact that they have none, they are "Totally Depraved"), some for salvation. The rest He has left in their sins. In all cases, He is glorified.

ref #302. Nope. Went back and looked. I hadn't noticed it as an offering for "U". Otherwise I would have posted it, which I will shortly do. (I'll modify it a bit to turn it into one sentence, so you address the modification, OK?)
