1 | Two aspects of the will of God | Matt 23:37 | Reformer Joe | 70628 | ||
"If I remember my readings correctly though, there are many Calvinists who would go further and say that God pretty much 'controls' everything." And depending on the connotation of the word "control," I would either agree or disagree. I hate using crude human examples to illustrate the workings of Almighty God, because the analogy always falls extremely short. However, as a teacher, I can say that I have "control" of my classes without saying that I am the cause of all my students' infractions of the rules. Now, unlike with God, unexpected situations arise in my classroom, and I cannot perfectly foresee my students' intentions and intervene to manipulate the outcome of those intentions. Nor can I supernaturally change the nature of those students so that they are now happily inclined to cooperate if previously all of them were inclined to rebel, as I believe God does in the life of a sinner. But an essential quality of the good schoolmaster is classroom "control." --Joe! |
