I don’t think I believe in the elect the way I’ve seen it presented because too many people present the idea of the elect like no matter what they do, they could fire bomb orphans and they’re still going to heaven, they’re the elect.
There’s no way it works that way.
If you were one of the elect the only fire you would be bringing to an orphan is the fire of a home-cooked meal or a fireplace for Christmas or something because you have invited them into your home so that they won’t be an orphan anymore.
If there is an elect, they’re gonna be like Mr. Rogers, or at least approaching Mr. Rogers.
Joe Bob Dingus, the local alcoholic racist that goes to church four times a year, is not going to be the elect.
