What you are suggesting is that God has no plan or purpose for anything evil that happens. All sin is random and beyond his control. That is the God you would rather serve?Lee Sheltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11254842261338255019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11738269.post-27591585737986432052014-01-14T17:18:16.291-06:002014-01-14T17:18:16.291-06:00If there is no free will it means the only will th...If there is no free will it means the only will that exists is God's will, meaning every event, action, thought, and motion was based on arbitrary decisions God made before time began, including salvation. So in theory it would be impossible not to do God's will whether you are a missionary or a rapist or a suicide bomber. Moreover you have know way to know if you're "saved" because your salvation is based on an arbitrary decision Jesus made before time began. In the end the calvinist God will condemn people for circumstances beyond their control all for his pleasure. PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE INSANITY OF THIS VIEW FOR FIVE SECONDS! A loving God is not behind such a view - it is merely the byproduct of an era of scientific ignorance and religious barbarism. Martin Luther was an anti semetic teacher who believed in genocide and ethnic cleansing, and if he were around today he would be consigned to a mental institution. If there us a less moral view out there besides calvinism I haven't found it yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
