… knowing the end results of that action. So you believe God values a “vapors breath” of your assumed “libertarian choice”, plus eternity in hell, more than not creating them in the first place? 🤷🏻‍♂️ How you can call that “loving” is baffling. They would also not be in hell which is the...

Are you really that clueless about your own view… He created them… that is, at minimum, a Determinative cause of the end result. Even in your view God, at the very least is “A CAUSE” of all things that happen in creation by the mere fact that he created when he did not have to. If God chose...

Then you agree that “the prophets lying” was God’s will? …

We were discussing your misunderstand of God’s interaction with Satan at the beginning, not the end. Why the deflection? Stay on track fltom. You can do it. fltom has now made it obvious that he does not know what he is talking about by moving the spotlight away from Gods interaction with Satan...

Exactly. This OP exposes the obvious fact that they do not understand the doctrine of Irresistible Grace. To further prove their misunderstanding all we have to do is ask them if they can now resist Jesus and “choose” to reject him as “foolishness”… … or has Jesus became to them “the power and...

We were discussing your misunderstanding of God’s “loving just nature” in Gods interaction with Satan, not Job. Why the deflection? Stay on track fltom. You can do it. Again… So of course God would never put Job’s name in the mind of a serial tormentor when Satan could not find anyone to...

Here's the actual context of Desiring God that the OP did not provide... The earliest Christian writers after the close of the New Testament canon did not stress God’s predestination of his elect. In fact, until the days in which Augustine (354–430) felt compelled to respond to the heretical...

So of course God would never put Job’s name in the mind of a serial tormentor when Satan could not find anyone to torment right? I mean if a man did this to his own child of course you would still call that an act of a “loving just nature” correct? No… why? Because it has to do with...

So you would consider “the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets” an “evil work” because it produced lying prophets, as the result, contrary to God’s will? (Assuming you believe lying is contrary to God’s will and described as sin) “Then a spirit came forward and...

What do you mean by “works evil”? …

Good question… what “law” is God subject to such that any action of his could be described as “sin”? Most answer with something like “God is so good that he would not sin”… … but this answer falsely assumes God could “sin” if he wanted to. I don’t see scripture teaching “God’s nature as a...

I agree, I don’t believe an animal killing a person can ever be described as “sin” until there is a “law” given to animals that states “Thou shalt not kill humans”… What do you think? I believe this is due to the fact that animals are not under a “law”, given to them by God. So an animals act...

If you read a little further you will notice that the WCF and I are in agreement V. Those of mankind that are predestinated unto life, God, before the foundation of the world was laid, according to His eternal and immutable purpose, and the secret counsel and good pleasure of His will, hath...

Ok… this one should be simple enough… Can animals, such as a Lion, preform an action, such as killing a person, such that it can be described as “sin”? Why or why not?… …

First, Why did you avoid my question? Please answer...
