***For Cromwell, the army was now God’s chosen instrument.[26] The episode shows Cromwell’s firm belief in “Providentialism”—that God was actively directing the affairs of the world, through the actions of “chosen people” (whom God had “provided” for such purposes). Cromwell believed, during the Civil Wars, that he was one of these people, and he interpreted victories as indications of God’s approval of his actions, and defeats as signs that God was directing him in another direction.”***
Oh yes. And there are a bunch of Cromwells posting actively right here. If God is within them, God is directing them. If God is directing them, then He only directs them in His way. They are incapable of not following His will. Therefore everything they do is God’s will. They can do no wrong since God is within them.
Fascinating philosophy to have. The ramifications are, of course, horrendous.
Who's following Cromwell? Do you even read these posts?
