God does NOT make exceptions for this one or that one. God has His elect which He shepperds. There are others who are not elected in which God harden their hearts to carry out His divine will.

You apparently can't see your own contradictions. You say God doesn't make exceptions and then you say how God chooses one for damnation and one for salvation. And then you go on about Jeremiah.

Do you think all of the elect are prophets, selected in the womb?

No one ever answers why God would harden someone's heart (except a Calvinist).

Not true. I said God prods people to move history along. You are the one who insists that God does not treat people differently, even though He does, but He doesn't except when He does.

Do the reprobate deserve hell for doing exactly what God wants them to do?

Perhaps I'm not clear.

God doesn't choose one for damnation. We're already damned. This point seems to be lost.

"Do you think all of the elect are prophets, selected in the womb?

The elect are not prophets nor is everyone filled with the Holy Spirit in the womb. But we know from Romans 8 that God foreknew and predestined His own before the foundations of the world. So God knows His sheep.

Since you, SD, believe that God "prods" people along you must also believe there are people whose hearts He's hardened who God plans on throwing into Hell. This is NOT my position.
