The Compatibility of “Divine Sovereignty & Free Will” from a ...

A. Extreme Solution: Fatalism
Human action is purposively determined, compelled, or prescribed by God.
God is all-powerful;
God will not save all persons (Predestination; Double
Predestination; Preterition; Fatalism);
Therefore, God is not all-loving.
1. If an all-powerful God can save all, but He will not save all, then
God is not all-loving. For a God who is all-loving would
save all, if He could save all.
2. Fatalists are faced with the problem that God does not love
everybody because He only died for the elect [They tend to
interpret to “world” as “elect” who live throughout the world
(John 3:16)]. Hence, unconditional election, limited atonement,
irresistibility, & perseverance of the saints.
3. It becomes even more problematic if they affirm double
predestination over preterition (passing over the non-elect).
