Meticulous divine determination of all things is unbiblical

James 1:13-14 (KJV)

14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV)
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
1 John 2:16 (KJV)
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Jeremiah 19:5 (ESV)

All this proves is that you support Semi-Deistic Dualism! You are suggesting that there can be another power in the universe that is opposed to God.

Your interpretation contradict these verses…

Hebrews 1:3 “he upholds the universe by the word of his power.”

Colossians 1:17 “he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”

Acts 17:28“In him we live and move and have our being”

What POWER, other than God, “caused” them… Ultimately?

This is where you will support your Dualism…

Why is it you cannot address the following
Meticulous divine determination of all things is unbiblical

James 1:13-14 (KJV)
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

God didn't do it

Scripture statres it was man's own lusts

1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV)
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

If God determined your sin then this verse is false

1 John 2:16 (KJV)
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

God stated these things are not from him but from the world

You contradict the word of God

Jeremiah 19:5 (ESV)
5 and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or decree, nor did it come into my mind—

God stated he was not the cause of this

Your philosophy stated he is

God should be heeded rather than your philosophy

these were all scripture and they refute you gnostic-manichean philosophy

Man and the world are seen as the cause of mans sin not God

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

God didn't do it

Scripture statres it was man's own lusts

1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV)
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

If God determined your sin then this verse is false

1 John 2:16 (KJV)
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

God stated these things are not from him but from the world

You contradict the word of God

Jeremiah 19:5 (ESV)
5 and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or decree, nor did it come into my mind—

God stated he was not the cause of this

Your philosophy stated he is

God should be heeded rather than your philosophy

these were all scripture and they refute you gnostic-manichean philosophy

Man and the world are seen as the cause of mans sin not God

What OTHER Ultimate Power are you, TomFL, suggesting these things are caused by?

Your Dualism is showing...

Meticulous divine determination of all things is unbiblical

Yours not so much

Man and the world are seen as the cause of mans sin not God
