Like I said above in my comment to SLW, I don’t know what to think concerning my Dad’s ultimate destination.

I pray better things for your dad.

I’d rather be on a pastry, but they’re stickier.

My Dad actually went to seminary but was forced to leave because he simply could not handle Greek, more of a necessity back then than today. He begged me not to take Greek at Wheaton, but I wound up a Greek honor student. Left Dad shaking his head at how his son got it but he didn’t.

I don’t know what to think about my Dad’s eternal state. He taught Sunday School for years and was the youth leader in his church for the years that I was part of the youth group. But after he lost his job under such awful circumstances, his bitterness just destroyed him.

So I know that he started off believing, but what to make of his awful finish? I guess that depends on who you talk to. A Reformed view would say that he was never saved OR that he had eternal security, despite how he ended. A more Arminian view would say that he turned his back on God and lost his salvation.

Frankly, I find all these answers lacking in one way or another.
