.....so, let us create a hypothetical person(and , perhaps, and unfortunately so,not so hypothetical).....on the edge,,,,thinking to do someone harm......and conflicted, trying to "get himself together",,,the kind we read about too often in the newspaper.......and so we tell him,,,,,,"god is in charge, god is in control of everything..the person you are obsessed with doing violence to, you know is innocent?.....well, so was jesus----and god was in charge of all those who killed him...maybe your victim-to- be is jesus too..get with the program".........now, is this good? is this "control" issue a central part of the lesson you are bringing forth..(or, must i say "god is bringing forth thru you").....i'm just more than a bit concerned with something here that is hard to pin down.....ARE YOU CLAIMING THAT ALL you DO IS GOD'S WILL?.........also,,,,should the above hypo realize he isn't where he should be ,how does he get there.....?....reading the bible?....that tells him whatever he does is god's will? it doesn't, in a real way, seem to add up-----you know what i mean?

Are you asking me if Calvinism would push a nut over the edge?
