Subject: God is not the author of evil. |
Bible Note: "If I understand you correctly, you seem to be saying that each and every flap of each and every wing on each and every sparrow is specifically and exhaustively determined by God's meticulous control." You are correct. "This necessarily implies that each and every demon or wicked person is just a puppet exhaustively controlled by God, which makes Him an accessory to evil..."" I disagree. This implies nothing of the sort. I just hold a higher view of God's sovereignty than you do. Now if you want me to explain How God can be absolutely sovereign and yet man still be resposible for his actions...well, don't hold your breath while your waiting for an answer. I will say this: Fallen man is absolutely free to choose according to his heart's desire. That liberty is also his downfall. Gen 6:5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. John |
