In considering the conflict between the sovereignty of God in election and the human responsibility, J.I. Packer writes: What is an antinomy? The Shorter Oxford Dictionary defines it as ';”a contradiction between conclusions which seem equally logical, reasonable or necessary.” For our purposes, however, this definition is not quite accurate; the opening words should read “an appearance of contradiction.” For the whole point of an antinomy – in theology, at any rate – is that it is not a real contradiction, though it looks like one. It is an apparent incompatibility between two apparent truths. An antinomy exists when a pair of principles stand side by side, seemingly irreconcilable, yet both undeniable.

Driver's Ed.

As an instructor in driver education at the local area High School, I've
learned that even the brightest students can become flustered behind the
wheel.

One day I had three beginners in the car, each scheduled to drive for 30
minutes.

When the first student had completed his time, I asked him to change
places with one of the others.

Gripping the wheel tightly and staring straight ahead, he asked in a shaky
voice, "Should I stop the car first?"

Graduation Snapshot

It was graduation day and Mom was trying to take a picture of her son in a
cap and gown, posed with his father.

"Let's try to make this look natural," she said. "Junior, put your arm
around your dad's shoulder."

The father answered, "If you want it to look natural, why not have him put
his hand on my wallet?"
