This is an internal contradiction within the calvinist subsets of Supras and Infras. Supralapsarianism holds that God’s act of election logically occurred before His decree for the fall of man. And this is primarily to uphold Rom 9:11 – God’s election of grace must precede any acts of good or evil, specifically Adam’s sinful act.

However, this poses a problem for the calvinists themselves who do not want to hold God as premeditatively predestining condemnation of the non-elect. Infralapsarianism suits them better where God factors in the fall and then elects some to be saved from it while passing over the rest instead of actively picking whom He would save and whom He would want condemned even before decreeing a fall.

But this runs against the earlier Rom 9:11. R.C.Sproul claims here that both Supras and Infras have a view of the fall factored into God’s election – but it doesn’t seem apparent given that they do tend to be mutually exclusive. The reconciliation is to first no longer rigidly hold on to the erroneous doctrine of predestined condemnation. Second, to resolve how even predestined election occurs without factoring in individual acts of man but still with a view of the fall, we could consider Karl Baath’s theory of Creational Entropy.

Karl Baath’s Creational Entropy

He states that any creature that is not God, by definition, will eventually fall short of the glory of God. Only God is and can be God – none other can and will be. So, any creature that’s created with a nature that is not God’s, will fall into sin eventually. This provides the view of the fall as a generic eventuality derived directly off the nature of God and without considering any specific individual acts of man.

God is able to decree us the provision of a Savior simply by factoring in the inevitable fall, without considering any individual’s sins. However, God judges everyone by their own sins for which they are condemned. Logically, there can be no condemnation without factoring in individual sins and God’s election of grace occurs prior to this as per Rom 9:11. This adds weight against the validity of predestined condemnation.
