Subject: Whose will causes a believer to sin? |
Bible Note: John Reformed: So your argument is that it was God's will that the fall of Adam and Eve would occur? Was sin involved in the fall? Was it God's will that they should sin? How does this line of reasoning prevent God from being, in fact, the author of sin? And how is it that Scripture says that God is not willing than any should perish? (see 2 Peter 3:9). How do you fit that in with your assertion that God willed the fall of Adam and Eve? You do say in your post that God created Adam and Eve with the freedom to choose to obey or disobey His commands. Yet you say in the very same paragraph that it was GOD'S WILL that they should fall. How can you possibly unify this glaring dichotomy without dancing around with some fancy semantic footwork? --Hank |
