And double predestination says it’s your fault for being born that way.

It is as if God punishes those born without legs for not being able to walk.

You guys have to make up your minds. Does double predestination "make God the author of sin" or does double predestination "say it's your fault for being born that way?"

The answer is neither. God is not the author of sin, and yet God ordains all things, being the first cause of everything in all time and space. He's God. All existence is sustained by His will.

All men are fallen and all "deserve" condemnation. But God has graciously chosen for Himself a people to redeem by the death and resurrection of His Son.

All men are responsible for their sin. But only Christ is responsible for their salvation.
