Subject: Is God in absolut contrl over all things |
Bible Note: Dear Sir P, I don't see how one can compare the decree of God to a parlour trick? Frankly, I am not familiar with the game. Is the one who chooses first assured of winning if he takes 2 toothpicks? If so his opponents freedom and ability are not real. The trickster is aware that the stooge's freedom and ability are non-existent. It's all a joke. The trickster's power is derived from his ability to decieve. I'm sure you do not require me to go further. I'm glad that you and Calvin agree that God is in absolute control of all things and that He is so without forcing or doing violence to the will of the creature. John |
