Excellent article, thanks.

>>>”In this sense, God can do whatever he wants—even if it appears to be evil to humans—because His will is supreme.”

This explains how Calvinism can say God’s justice is not the same as our view of justice. I.e., God’s actions can be what we would call an injustice.

It also reminds me of Islam’s view that God can be irrational, cruel, etc.

>>You should read Robert Reilly’s book about Islam. It makes the similarities between the Calvinist God and the Muslim God plain as day.
