It's very simple Dear Brother, God is the first cause of everything created and God is flawless eternal goodness in anything He creates because He Himself is perfect goodness. Therefore evil cannot be in God, if it were, than God would be flawed.
I don't recall that I have ever disagreed with any of your above. God is the first cause of everything created - TRUE. God is flawless eternal goodness in anything He creates - TRUE. God Himself is perfect goodness - TRUE. Evil cannot be in God - TRUE. God is not flawed - TRUE.
God saw all things that he had made, and they were very good (Gen. i, 31): He made all things good in his own time (Eccles. iii, 11): Every creature of God is good (1 Tim. iv, 4).
I guess you disagree with this Scripture?
I don't disagree with any scripture. :) The first is fine on its face, since no one argues that God created satan. The second two are also fine, as long as we understand that all that God created was good, FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. For example, God created poisonous animals. That is still good because God had specific intentions for them. Another example is that God created Judas with the intention of him betraying Jesus. For God's will, that was good.
In other words... Now you have accepted what ever sins you have committed as part of God's plan for your life.
I have accepted that my sins were paid for by Christ's work on the cross. And since I cannot know what God's plan is, there is no reason for me to ever seek sin. Scripture teaches that I must not sin, so that is my goal. As far as God's plan for my life, scripture tells us:
Jer 29:11 : For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
"Prospering" includes learning through mistakes.
In this way of thinking you elevate evil as something God needs to create in order to be sovereign.
I don't know how. As a Sovereign, God "needs" for nothing. He does, though, make choices for His own purposes.
You have fallen into the heresy of accepting everything as fate now. In doing this you will have to accept Hitler's reign, lucifer being cast out of heaven, the fall of Adam and Eve etc... as part of God's created plan.
They WERE all part of God's created plan, or else God is not omnipotent, but rather impotent! In addition, there is a great difference between fate and predestination. From B.B. Warfield:
Amen. Predestination is born of love. Fatalism is born of chance.
"Predestination and fatalism," says Schopenhauer, "do not differ in the main. They differ only in this, that with predestination the external determination of human action proceeds from a rational Being, and with fatalism from an irrational one. But in either case the result is the same." That is to say, they differ precisely as a person differs from a machine.
AMEN!
Evil is a secondary cause and opposite of the primary cause of All things created by God,that primary cause is love and goodness ALWAYS WILLED by God
Your view of God makes both evil and goodness primary causes of God's creative power .Thus making Evil and goodness EQUIL,Thus making God eternal evil and eternal goodness in order to fit the reformed view of a sovereign God.
You fail to recognize that God allowing evil to exist has NOTHING to do with Him creating evil,which God does not do
I don't think you realize this,fk, but what you're doing is saying the devil is not the cause of evil because you believe that God planned the devil to be evil.
CHILLING,FK. Simply chilling!
Read the scripture again...
God saw all things that he had made, and they were very good (Gen. i, 31): He made all things good in his own time (Eccles. iii, 11): Every creature of God is good (1 Tim. iv, 4).
I pray you wake up,Dear Bother!
I wish you Blessed evening
