Bible Note: Greetings Kalos! I realize that you are not the author of this material, but I was curious about one of the statements in this quote. The author writes: "The scriptures amply illustrate both that God sometimes decrees things that he does not desire and desires things that he does not decree." I can certainly understand how could could desire something but not decree it, but how could God decree something that He does not desire? ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
