A holy God is both just and merciful. He is never unjust.

To say that God's sovereignty is limited by man's freedom is to make man sovereign.

We talk about predestination because the Bible talks about predestination. If we desire to build our theology on the Bible, we run head on into this concept. We soon discover that John Calvin did not invent it.

The rapture will not be secret but open and manifest. Its purpose will not be to whisk the elect away from the earth for a while until Christ returns for a 'second' Second Coming.

His coming in this manner will be attended by the general resurrection, the final judgment, and the end of the world.
