translapsarian, as Kerry would call it. I'm kinda in between both sides.

Translapsarian leaning Supra, but not completely.

i've had this discussion before but want to get clarification. God is omniscient, thus He foreknew about the fall of man. He knew adam and eve would sin, but He allowed for it to happen, in order for Him to get the glory from its implications? God did not create sin but He created the atmosphere in which it would come to pass? is sin a byproduct of evil or is it a byproduct of disobedience, both?

Romans 5

side note: did the Law make sin increase as was stated in Romans 5:20, 21? why didn't sin decrease?

Quote :: Infralapsarianism puts God’s decrees in the following order: (1) God decreed the creation of mankind, (2) God decreed mankind would be allowed to fall into sin through its own self-determination, (3) God decreed to save some of the fallen, and (4) God decreed to provide Jesus Christ as the Redeemer. Infralapsarianism focuses on God allowing the fall and providing salvation.

Sublapsarianism is very similar to infralapsarianism, putting God’s decrees in the following order: (1) God decreed to create human beings, (2) God decreed to permit the fall, (3) God decreed to provide salvation sufficient to all, (4) God decreed to choose some to receive this salvation. The only difference between infralapsarianism and sublapsarianism is whether God decreed to provide salvation through Jesus Christ and then decreed to choose some to be saved, or vice-versa.

Supralapsarianism puts God’s decrees in the following order: (1) God decreed the election of some and the eternal condemnation of others, (2) God decreed to create those elected and eternally condemned, (3) God decreed to permit the fall, and (4) God decreed to provide salvation for the elect through Jesus Christ. Supralapsarianism focuses on God ordaining the fall, creating certain people for the sole purpose of being condemned, and then providing salvation for only those whom He had elected.

Humans put things in "order", God doesn't have to. Shouldn't there be an option for God decreeing everything at an instantaneous moment in time? The way we think, we can't grasp that mentally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen that way.

Supra.

We have a rather entertainingly informative discussion on the Eternal Order of Decree on the Gathering talkshow (Election part 2).
