I’m feeling supralapsarian today, and here’s why:
As Barth said, God’s Yes to man precedes creation (in Barth’s terms, covenant precedes creation). How could it be otherwise? If God had said No at the beginning, how could we exist at all?
Once God says Yes, can He then change to No? Can we say of God what Paul’s Corinthian opponents said of him: With God it is always “Yes and No.” Or, “Maybe.” Must we not say, on the contrary, that God’s Yes is Yes, and His No No?
Once Yes, always Yes. Therefore: Supralapsarianism.
