Harley and I are in full agreement as to God's "doings"

I don't see how you can say something like this. HD clearly states that what, who and where we are is God's doing. That would include you, and Judas, and the Pharaoh, and St. James and BEV Mery, and every human being, who lived, lives and will live.

If everything is God's doing, then ours is not neither good nor evil. It's a theological corner that all monergists paint themselves into, and then chose to ignore it.

No, you misunderstand what is being said.

Got the picture?

God must change us from doing our will (spiritual) evil to doing His will (spiritual) good. That is why we are being made into His likeness-to do good. There is no corner. It's black and white.

I fully agree with Harley's answer. Spiritually speaking, God good, man bad. God DOES good and man DOES bad. As Harley said, there is no corner here.
