The Purpose and Goal

The purpose and goal of this site is to search for the truth as it pertains to predestination. For this particular subject has divided Christians to the detriment of the gospel with camps on both sides with one claiming unconditional predestination and the other claiming conditional. The challenge here is that we are only men and when it comes to the vastness of the knowledge and wisdom of LORD God Almighty we are all reaching beyond our comprehension as to what exactly His thoughts and ways are.

 

Isaiah 44:6-8
6 “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me. 7 ‘Who is like Me? Let him proclaim and declare it; Yes, let him recount it to Me in order, From the time that I established the ancient nation. And let them declare to them the things that are coming And the events that are going to take place. 8 ‘Do not tremble and do not be afraid; Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it? And you are My witnesses. Is there any God besides Me, Or is there any other Rock? I know of none.’”

Isaiah 55:8-9
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.

 

So in the search for truth we find that there are going to be areas that are beyond our complete comprehension, but we are called to examine everything and search for the truth to the best of our abilities, for there are many warnings of following those that teach what is false, and we are told clearly to hold on to that which is good.

 

I Thessalonians 5:21-22
21 But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; 22 abstain from every form of evil.

 

 

 

The first and most important part of any Christian study is the scriptures themselves for these alone are where we find sound doctrine and in this site the scriptures are provided in full detail as we search out what they teach us as to the Gospel and the Faith for which Christians stand. Then as we search further into the truth we can compare these foundational areas as to what the early church has taught and verify that the doctrine we hold today is what has been taught for nearly two millennia. We will see the battles that have come forth from the very infancy of Christianity and how the Apostolic Fathers of the early church used the scriptures to refute these errors. With these writings we will also see the false doctrines that they were refuting and how the false teachers of their time were deceiving men, and how “they disregard the order and the connection of the Scriptures, and so far as in them lies, dismember and destroy the truth”.

 

With the LORD our God there was never a time when He did not know what all of men’s deeds would be, what every man’s heart held within it, and He is never unaware of the final outcome for all of his creation. 

 

Jeremiah 17:10
10 “I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways,
According to the results of his deeds.

Revelation 22:12-13
12 “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
