Election and Predestination

Election and Predestination By W.B. Godbey.

From ages immemorial antipodal dogmatisms

have universally prevailed, i. e.,

God's sovereignty and man's free-agency;

the former culminating in absolute fatalism as

taught by the stoic philosophers of Greece

and adopted by Mohammed in his Koran, the

latter finding its ultima thule in reckless liberalism,

developing into that ultra pantheism

which makes every man a god. As in controversial

matters generally, the truth abides

in the interim between two errors; therefore,

we conclude the divine sovereignty and human

freedom are both incontestable verities,

perfectly harmonica! either with other, despite

the incompetency of finite minds always

to reconcile them. Election is from

ekout and legoo , to choose. Predestination is

from pre , beforehand, and destinal , to a point,

hence it means an antecedent appointment.
