So who fits men for destruction?

What does that even mean? If men don't fit themselves for destruction, then who does? And what does that have to do with counting oneself saved? Don't you want everyone to be saved? Perhaps you should spend more time maintaining the unity of the faith and building up and edifying Christians...

I stand corrected. Appreciate you sharing. Still...doesn't say he expected most people would end up unsaved.

I don't get the point, but it still doesn't change the fact that work was created pre-fall and was not the result of sin.

Only those who oppose Calvinism openly make the claim that the majority of people are predestined to death. Calvin said neither. He believed heaven would be populated by a number no man can number and that men, not God, fitted themselves for destruction.

The word "know" in Joshua 2:9 is the same word in Genesis 3 where Adam knew his wife. The implication is that this is intimate experiential knowledge. The NT corollary is John 17:3 wherein eternal life is equated to knowing God. Hence, her knowing was the result of the revelation...

More likely a dove descended.

This only explains how they knew they were coming. It doesn't explain how she knew the outcome.
