Thank you for once again giving us a presentation—minus the scripture! However, seeing you are apparently stuck “in” the confessions vs. the scripture, can you advise us how parents propagate both the “elect” and “non-elect” (reprobate)? Seeing their children are chosen before the foundation of the world, how is “election” or “reprobation,” applied seeing that, in your estimation, God has turned the creation of mankind over to the parents? Don’t forget to deal with the fact that there are “elect angels” (1 Tim 5:21; an innumerable host created early in redemptive history), and if angels propagate (Matt 22:30).

Quote
Romans 9:11, 22-23 for the children being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth,

What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction:

and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,

Eph 1:4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:

Eph 1:11 in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;

Jude 4 For there are certain men crept in privily, even they who were of old written of beforehand unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
