@UntoHim

So Spurgeon once wrote "The truth is, neither you nor I have any right to want to know more about predestination than what God tells us. That is enough for us"?

Well, maybe had Job written it I'd accept it on face value. He earned it. Spurgeon ... not so much. I always reject this kind of thinking/attitude. It's a kind of authoritarianism: "'Shut up!' I'm explaining."

Nah. God wants us to look into the deepest things. Admittedly, we see through the welder's mask but we do see something and it's worth exploring. The Wise Men looked deeply into the night sky and saw a glint that led them past the Spurgeons of the day to Christ's house.
