Featured Who is responsible?

You think it is the same book simply because it talks about blotting out names? There are lots of books that can have names blotted out, that doesn't make them the same book.

 

Yes, but you are forcing the doctrine to be something it is not, some would call that a strawman argument.

 

I'm saying your version of unconditional election is not what the doctrine is talking about. It is saying that the determination is solely dependent upon God and His perfect will.

 

But that does not in any way necessitate it to be the same book.

 

There is only one book of life, there are many books that will be opened at the last judgment that displays all that is done, thought, and motives.

But the single book of life, NEVER has any Scripture statement that name(s) have been taken out or blotted out.

Besides, when it was written, the foundations were being placed upon the earth.

The thinking that every one's name was in the book and that they were removed is another indication of the thinking that diminishes an attribute of God.

Any such thinking always formulates a lesser God who is not the I AM and not ALL ________.
