Who said evil? You attribute that to God’s Sovereignty I don’t.Sure, evil is not.
Yes, Jesus could have abandon his mission but both his human and divine will cooperated. To say otherwise is to be Monothelitic or thinking Jesus has one will or Monophysitic and thinking Jesus' divine nature overcomes the human nature.But you do believe God has His own Purpose and Will, right?
Was it God’s predetermined plan for Jesus Christ to suffer and die?
No if you explore what I provided from Ephesians 1, it has always been God’s plan for us to be in union with Him through the Divine Logos for His Glory Alone.Calvinists believe God made man sin and fall, not that God allowed man to choose communion with him or sin.
Salvation is not his plan B, he just worked with what people messed up.I asked you a question related to your OP. Please stop deflecting and just answer it.
Salvation is not his plan B, he just worked with what people messed up.
Now answer my question.
Calvin's quotes that God is the author of evil:Who said evil? You attribute that to God’s Sovereignty I don’t.
Evil came about by the human will.
That would not have happened if the tree of knowledge of good and evil was not in Eden. But the tree was there.
Reacts to what happens is wrong.If I understand you correctly, God never has had any plan, but He merely reacts to what happens. Am I correct in thinking this?
Reacts to what happens is wrong.
Like I said, God is. God works through both the past, present and future since he is there.
Like some people say God in the Old Testament was different from the New Testament, that's not true rather he dealt with people in different time in different manner.
I would say Adam had a real choice. There are a few ways to learn what is needed. the easy way, and the hard way. Adam took the hard way.For those who believe in God predestine events, was the Fall one of them?
God plans something but the plan does not overcome our free willLet me rephrase my question. Do you believe that God acts (makes the initial plan and acts upon it) or reacts (responds to what happens because He has never had any plan to put into action)?
God plans something but the plan does not overcome our free will
God does not want people to commit fornication, are you going to either say that God is weak by not doing something against it or that he wants fornication to happen?In essence, if I understand you correctly, you believe that God might desire an outcome, but He lacks either the will and/or the ability to effect His desire. Thus, there is no Plan A with God except in the sense that he has a desire and if it is thwarted, then He reconnoiters and alters course to fit the events.
God does not want people to commit fornication, are you going to either say that God is weak by not doing something against it or that he wants fornication to happen?
That’s quite absurd. Will you address why it was God’s plan before the foundations of the Earth to have us redeemed and reconciled through and in Christ? And that this was predestined?It was his chance of giving us redemption. You probably believe it is God's plan for people to commit adultery rather than working through it.
You see, how is it logical that God judges people who do what God wants them to do?God will judge fornicators. The fact that He does not so according to our desires, does not negate that fact that He will judge them even as He judged Adam and Eve.
Did God know that Adam and Eve would sin? If so, why do you think He did nothing to stop it?
Because Paul makes it clear God’s plan before He created mankind was to redeem mankind through Jesus Christ.How it is what Paul's saying contradictory to God giving people redemption from their own doing?
No all of the above hu-mans operated within the bondage of the will.You answer me:
A man and a woman get married and they divorce, later both of them remarry. Was the second marriage God's plan B?
No Jesus was fully human and fully God.Yes, Jesus could have abandon his mission but both his human and divine will cooperated. To say otherwise is to be Monothelitic or thinking Jesus has one will or Monophysitic and thinking Jesus' divine nature overcomes the human nature.
