Puritan Board Junior
Rev Winzer,can you help me understand how he would differ form the majority view within the Supra camp.I'm sorry I can't seem to pull up your post to quote you properly
Let's recall the basic starting point of the discussion. Supra = above. Infra = below. Lapse = the fall. Election is of men (and angels). Now, supralapsarianism refers to the election of men considered as unfallen, and infralapsarianism refers to the election of men considered as fallen. These are our basic definitions for being able to distinguish between the two points of view. Dr. Reymond comes along and says he is a supralapsarian, and a consistent one at that, but then begins with the premise that "God elected some sinful men ... to salvation in Christ" (New Systematic Theology, 494, 495). It is clear that he has lost his bearings somewhere in the long walk on which he has taken his readers.
Thanks so much for explaining that for me
