Did He plan all things, condemning people to commit acts they had no choice but to carry out? Personally, I think that if one balances the revealed character of God against these questions, the only answer would be that history's driving forces were contained within the decisions individuals made and that God wove His purposes through and around them. Foreknowledge empowered by freewill wrapped itself around us, using our future choices to bring about the amazing and often hidden purposes of God. Free will and eventual consequences, whether immediate or in eternity, are virtually stamped on every page in the Bible. Perfection cannot violate itself, neither can the Almighty. |
