Is Predestination Morally Right? The Justice Of Election

Is Predestination Morally Right?
The Justice of Election The difficulty that most people have with the doctrines of election and predestination is not the lack of Biblical passages dealing with the subject. The Old and New Testaments are replete with statements that God had chosen and elected and predestined. The problem that most have with this doctrine is how we deal with all of the implications which this doctrine raises. Chief among these difficulties is the question of the justice of divine election. How is God to be considered as just and righteous if He arbitrarily sends some people to hell and allows others into heaven. The theological term for this question is Theodicy. It comes from a joining of two Greek words.

Qeoj (theos) is the word for “God.”

Dikh (dike) is the word for “righteous.”
