Why I Believe in Predestination...

There have been a few questions that have come up on why I believe in predestination. Below I have included some passages out of the book of Romans to give you the reason for my belief. I also believe that the Bible is the inherent Word of God, therefore I believe all of it was breathed by the Holy Spirit. I believe in the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and believe that they are all equally God, all one, yet different. I couldn’t even begin to explain how that works because I don’t understand it, I just believe because the Bible says it. That’s also why I believe in predestination, because the Bible tells me it’s true, therefore it is true! I’m rock solid on my belief’s but it’s the why that I’m wondering about right now. I’m still looking for answers but as many have said, I may have to wait until I get to the other side of heaven to find out. I can be content with that. But it doesn’t mean I’ll quit wondering why…

Rom 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Rom 8:29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
Rom 8:30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

And

Rom 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means!
Rom 9:15 For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion
Rom 9:16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy
Rom 9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth
Rom 9:18 So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.
Rom 9:19 You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will
Rom 9:20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me like this
Rom 9:21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honored use and another for dishonorable use
Rom 9:22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction
Rom 9:23 in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory--
