Re: "Contradictions". Much of what seems contradictory falls away and is resolved with study. But not for those who are not interested in learning.
Re: The destined or "elect", compared with the non.
Jesus had stated, "Seek and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened."
But for those who's focus is largely on the material, and this temporary state, which in the end is fleeting, there are only contradictions.
Christians are converted via the Holy Spirit. Convinced of the Truth, and that He is the Truth, by His Spirit.
God is Truth.
Answers about the not so essential issues come later. Meanwhile, He is,
"The One".
Jesus is, The One.
