***This means the good and the evil. God created the good and the evil to fulfill His “plan.” So, no person in the world that lived, lives or will ever live is anything but another cog on God’s wheel, driving towards the completion of the “plan.”
In other words, to God, good and evil are simply “tools” in His workshop, and to the extent that they fulfill His “plan” (which si always, of course), they are both “good.” ***
Many of the reformed clap their theological hands over their religious ears and say “la la la I can’t hear you”. The few will tippy toe around this minefield and play word games.
Most of the theology centers around the elect - they are called the children of God, the selected elite elect, and the people of God etc. etc. - but very little on those that the Reformed claim are created to be excrement in the cesspool of hell forever in everlasting torment. They are tossed off the religious cliff in a handful of sentences in such as the WCF.
I can’t even get a straight answer to the question: if God micromanages everything, then is God responsible if I go to that nudie bar or get drunk? If He is not, then God does not micromanage everything and this whole idea of “God is completely in control of everything” shatters into nothing.
It makes no difference, you see, because as long as you believe in Christ you can go to nudie bars. That's why Luther reminds us that even if you commit countless fornications a day, it is all "paid for" on the Cross.
It is a true miracle that, given human nature, not everyone is Protestant!
