Calvinists are not dualists , there is no "competation" between God and Satan . God is sovereign over Satan .Satan can do nothing without the permission of God
Was it God's determinate will that Satan attempt to derail Christ from His course ?
Act 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
1Pe 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers;
1Pe 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1Pe 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
1Pe 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
Happy Easter Quester and Harley
I guess I just wondering what this seeming struggle between the Creator Christ and the creature Satan all means in the cosmic drama that Calvinists believe in ?
Calvinists are not dualists , there is no "competation" between God and Satan . God is sovereign over Satan .Satan can do nothing without the permission of God.
So ... what's going on here between Christ and Satan ?
