I also believe in a form of predestination -- that is, that God knows the individual's response to God's good gifts, and in real-time, he elects those whom he foreknew.
Quite possibly, there are those who know God, but whose rebellion refuses to accept God and to know him more fully.
As far as you not believing people can reject God's goodness, that's your opinion to have, and one I'm okay with. The alternative view is surely not blasphemous and I think you're being a little over-reactive, even for your theology. Driscoll speaks of being aware of God, at the same level Paul would in Romans 1-2. |
I completely understand that men can become reprobate toward God in this life, because we only "...see thru a glass darkly..." God in essence hides Himself from man, so that man can experience the alternative to God in this life. Much like a wise human father, allows his children to experience the results of bad decisions, so that they may receive understanding.
But then, we will see "face to face", and all questions and hesitation will be removed. I am fully sure that no man can "see" God, and resist Him. So, no overreaction at all, He is that good, and that complete, His holiness is perfect.
