Let me ask you something here. On a Calvinists web site a well known Calvinists wrote an article where he relates an email that was sent him from a dear lady who says she was raped and had a child that was conceived because of it. In order to comfort her the Calvinist stated it was very wrong what happened to her and the person would be judged at the judgement.
I agree with his statement it was very wrong but it seems to me he had forgot what he was..... a Calvinist and a well known one at that. Calvinists believed God caused everything, which most certainly is error but that's what they believe. If it was WRONG what happened to her then that Calvinist is saying (given HIS belief) then God was wrong for he says on another day God wanted everything that does happen to happen.
So to other Calvinists on here. What would you have told the lady who was victimized? Would you tell her God must have wanted it to happen to her, for the reason it did happen? Wanting to believe the best of you I'm guessing that's where you come up to a wall in your theology and you know you have to give it up. In your gut, in your inner most part of your being you just KNOW it can't be possible for such to be true. You know God could not have ordained such an insidious, horrible action to be placed upon this woman. One Calvinist on this site declared recently he can't envision anything that happens not being the will of God.
What say you? And this should be a mere YES of NO answer for if you're a Calvinist you either believe God wanted it to happen (ordained it) or he didn't. Did he or didn't he?
