Janean,I would recommend the Boetner link about predestination that Pilgrim refered to.

I would be happy to send you;"Absolute Predestination " by Jerome Zanchius(b.1516)which I believe would be of help to you at this time. It is (probably) the best work on this subject<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. Please let me know <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

"Those who will not speak of predestination or are even reluctant to speak about predestination are mortal enemies of God's praise." John Calvin.
