And? There is still the ordainer and the doer.

And "to ordain" means...

ORDAIN:

To order by virtue of superior authority; decree or enact.

To prearrange unalterably; predestine,

Therefore, your understanding of "ordain" ("Ordaining something is not the same as doing something") is incorrect, by definition.

To "enact" and "prearrange unalterably."

Thus the "doer" will "do" what the "ordainer" "prearranges unalterably."

I know this shocks some who have been led to believe they are in control of their lives, but there is a higher authority than our own free will.

The will and purpose of God which no man can thwart.
