Bible Note: I am afraid I am going to have to disagree here, Hank. Perhaps it is because I have been involved in the discussion from the beginning of Bob's first question on this issue. What we have been discussing here is not conjecture about God outside the Bible, but rather trying to reconcile two different ideas presented within Scripture: (1) that God is not sinful and hates sin, and does not Himself tempt anyone; and (2) that God decrees all things, including sin. All discussion so far has been biblically-based and the goal has been apprehending what God is truly like from the pages of His self-revelation, rather than playing "make-believe" or trying to judge or question God in his sovereignty. Far be it from any Calvinistic bone in my body to do that! In short, this thread in my opinion fits right into Lockman's boundaries. Regards, Joe! |
