I've addressed it multiple times. Maybe not on this thread. It's calamity not evil and it's judgement on people not God inventing evil.

It says Satan entered judas, not God told him. Again you attribute satan's activity to God. Jesus told him to do what he was going to do quickly. That doesn't make it God's actions. Judas had the same opportunity to stay or betray as we all do. Again, God knowing isn't God causing.

Lol, so how long you've been saved has something to do with how much you know? I don't think so. My Bible tells me that men are without excuse because of what? I'm sure you know this one. Being saved for 46 years and all.

Yes, in the bread of life discourse Jesus associates belief with eating his flesh. So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to...

What's to expound? I just said what Romans 11:25 says. Romans 9 isn't talking about God restricting grace to certain individuals, which is why I find it so frustrating that so many people read it that way. It's the opposite! It's God saying "Ok, fine, Israel screwed up, so I'm making it easier...

Well, maybe there are some that do that. I don't. I believe in every supernatural event in scripture. The reason I say Job may be a play/parable is that it's an ancient book, most say the older book in the Bible and it's written in the form of a drama. Job is written in a form of Hebrew that is...

Well now you are changing your tune. I see your problem now. When you say God orchestrates everything or God manipulates everything, you don't really mean everything at all. Look at what you said here: "And He will shout into your mind to warn you to look both ways to avoid that bus that is...

It's both. God isn't going to keep anyone against their will, though.

You apparently have no problem blaspheming God by calling him evil. "In him is no darkness at all." But you don't believe that.

Faith isn't a work, Bubba. And Jesus didn't say it was. I can not help it if you don't have reading comprehension.

God is smart enough to fulfill his promises without manipulating all events. He can know all without causing all.

It may be a play. It may not be. Whether Job existed or not, the message is the same. My point is, God doesnt orcanstrate everything in our lives. Lots of things are caused by others or ourselves.

Yes, it's saying God used israel's rebellion to reach the gentiles. He hardened them farther to that end. But they didn't fall beyond recovery. See Romans 11:11. Paul in Romans 9 is saying God has the right to bring about salvation for all through his people however he wants. It's not about...

Not alone, no. It depends on our reliance on God and God keeping us. It's mutual, not a one way street either way.

Not according to God. God says they did things he did not want over and over and over again. You gonna believe him or your tidy neat theology? Men sure like to think they have God all figured out. That was Job's mistake too.

Now you are again conflating two things; knowledge and ordaining. God can know without ordaining. God can act when necessary without causing everything. Why's that hard to understand?

Yes, that's exactly what false teachers do, deny that Christ is real and really God. How does that change what I said?

Not typical but very good!

Well, that's what you've been taught, so be it. I have a different perspective. OSOS just isn't borne out by scripture. And I really tried to believe it at one point, but it just doesn't work.

Again, you are trying to say God orchestrates everything, but I don't see any evidence for this in scripture. In fact, it would be pretty silly to believe prayer does anything if God is orchestrating all that happens. The Lord frequently changes his mind in the light of changing circumstances...
