Kosta.

No matter how you look at it, any omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent being in either directly involved or indirectly involved with power to interecede in any event that happens in all of history.

Many simply don’t like to admit that.

Kosta: Truth be told, FK, a year ago I wouldn't have believed if someone told me (some, maybe all of the) Reformed believed God makes devil children. Today, sadly, I know they do because they say so.

Well, the Reformed are free to believe what they want. To say that God creates devil children and gives them to unlucky parents is not what Christ taught us to believe. If that's what they believe then they are not Christians as far as I am concerned, but a Christian cult.

God decided to give man freedom and reason. The creation follows the laws under which it was created and not by God's micromanagement (of humans or the rest of His creation). While we can postulate that an omnipotent God would have the power to intercede and change the order of creation, the creation seems pretty much a perpetuum mobile as much as man seems pretty much in a position to make choices for which he will be judged later.

Many simply don't like to admit that. :)
