Inclusive and exclusive are not in my bibles in that particular verse. What version are you reading? Are those 2 words included in the text of your bible?

That is called adding to the word of God.

" Only those predestined to eternal life from
before the foundation of the world. "


This is the one central theme and motivator of your entire life isn't it Elect ? Predestination before the world began for the chosen few ...and you of course believe you know who is who ?

This is insanity...albeit a clear and persistant primitive kind of insanity .
The kind that has doomed Chrisrianity for so long to intolerance and ignorance.

(at least you didn't rail on against eve....)

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours. - Ayn Rand
