Abstract

An analysis of Scripture uncovers a new model of God’s election and predestination of souls, which fits under the umbrella of the Calvinist theologies, but where this model involves an answer to the long-standing question of why God chose some, rather than all. It will be explored how before souls were elected (or condemned), God looked at them and knew them in a pre-election state, which God used to predestine each soul in physical reality. This analysis reveals why it could be no other way but where God only would choose some, rather than all souls during the physical embodiment stage of the soul, and the vexing centuries-old Calvinist question of why God elected some not all has an answer.
为什么上帝没有选择所有的灵魂
对《圣经》的分析揭示了一种新的上帝选择和灵魂命运的模式,这种模式符合加尔文主义神学家的保护伞,但这种模式涉及到对上帝为什么选择某些而不是全部这一长期问题的回答。我们将探讨在灵魂被选举(或被谴责)之前,上帝是如何在选举前的状态下看待他们并认识他们的,上帝用这种状态在物质现实中预先确定每个灵魂。这一分析揭示了为什么在灵魂的物理化身阶段,上帝只会选择一些灵魂,而不是所有灵魂,这是别无选择的,以及几个世纪以来令人烦恼的加尔文主义问题,即为什么上帝选择了一些而不是所有的灵魂,都有答案。
