"Free will" is an oxymoron

Nonsense! Without free will of His creatures, the cause of evil must, by necessity, be God. Which is whay your cult professes even though you adamantly deny it. Harley D even said it himself (#3548 "God has created and used evil").

I said no such thing. What I did say in post #3548 was that "God created and uses all things". This could fairly be misconstrued as God creating evil which was not the intent and I apologize. God did not create evil. However there is no mistaken that He ordained it since He did nothing to prevent the fall. Since it exists God uses it to His advantage.

We have discussed this many times. You either 1) know this isn't what I meant and still chose to misrepresent the statement or 2) you still have not been enlightened by God to understand what I'm saying; God is sovereign and ordains everything. If the latter is true I would suggest praying for knowledge and understanding.

Which is whay your cult professes...

My, we are getting nasty now. I don't know of any of us that would lay claim to the Orthodox or Catholic Church as being a "cult". And what are you so upset about; simply because we say God is sovereign over His creation? This is what you deny? I would personally rethink my position.
