Here is the Biblical meaning of Election, written by me, as a Seminary Student in 1983 , which is part of my Master’s Degree Thesis. This is my Blog, where I have written as either “ Eternal Flame” or “ Marked Elect. “ of course, I have added baggage to my Belief System, over the years, since then, but am pretty much up to date on my Blog on my last, most current Post giving my view on Advaita Vedanta. For Scholars interested in Biblical Election, the back side should not be ignored, i.e. Reprobates. Scrolling through the rest of my Thesis will compare Members of God’s Elect to God’s Reprobates. My Doctoral Degree Theses, earned for my Th.D., is also on the Blog, which defines the Tongues Controversy, Miracles and Healings, and Prophecy. This is my first post on this forum, as I have been a Voyeur.Best Regards to All. https://eternaloasisofsouls.blogspot.com/2006/08/eternal-security-thesis-election-part.html

Predestination and election are both biblical teachings. The English "predestination" is translated from the Greek word proorizo which means 1) to predetermine, decide beforehand; 2) in the NT, of God decreeing from eternity; 3) to foreordain, appoint beforehand.1 Predestination, then, is the biblical teaching that God predestines certain events and people to accomplish what He so desires. The word proorizo occurs six times in the New Testament, each time demonstrating that God is the one who is foreordaining and bringing about certain events: There is, however, controversy as to the nature of this predestination... see: https://carm.org/predestination-and-election ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <he...@hotmail.com> wrote : Well, I thought Yogic Flyers could be the eklektos of our times.
