I enjoy how it shows that God is God over the liar yet is not the liar himself.

It's like the difference between forming clay in your hand and watching clay form itself.

1 Kings 22:23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.

It is all I need. Ok. Please demonstrate it by making the Bible say "Renniks is wrong in his theology".

2 Samuel 24:1 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. 1 Chronicles 21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. Psalm 145:17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy...

Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it? Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

Do you suggest David's sin was the state of his heart and not in taking the census?

You offer no argument on the matter that opposes my position and you appeal to nonsense towards a Strawman. God doesn't act like Satan, He controls Satan along with everything else.

I am comfortable with your disagreement. Consider Renniks' words.

What do you mean, Farouk?

Thanks for joining in, Barney. Then what of His knowledge? Do you believe He is all-knowing?

Absolutely. Consider David's sin in taking a census. 2 Samuel 24:1 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. 1 Chronicles 21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. 2...

It's Scripture. Jeremiah 18:1-6 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of...

That you think it is even a logical possibility for God to be evil by doing something specific hints at your lack of reverence for Him. Anything He does is Good, Holy and Righteous by definition.

We are not held accountable because we are free, but precisely because we are not free.

That you think God can be evil if He causes something specific and says something specific hints at the lack of reverence you have for Him. Perhaps absurd according to your standards.

Genesis 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

That is unfortunate. Do you have a specific verse in mind? Jeremiah 32:35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my...

Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Proverbs 16:4 The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
