Subject: Whose will causes a believer to sin? |
Bible Note: Greetings John! Okay, final post on my end for two reasons. One, I have to start moving! :-) Two, we are spinning our wheels here! :-) First of all, I never once denied that 'all' in Rom. 8:28 means 'all'. But, neither does Rom. 8:28 that God ordains all things. It says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,....". There is a big difference in saying that God can take even my sin and work some good out of it and saying that God ordained my sin. Secondly, I wasn't ignoring Acts 4:26-28. It simply wasn't relevant to the question I had asked you my friend. We both agree that Christ was slain from the foundation of the world. We both agree that God can do whatever He wants! What we disagree on is whether man has any ability to choose to obey or disobey. I asked you about Christians who sin. Do they sin because God willed it or because they willed it? My understanding is that when I commit an act of sin I am disobeying God's will, not acting upon it. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
