I think when you say it's ridiculous, you have a problem with Calvinism. John Calvin: “The will of God is the chief and principal cause of all things.” “What we must prove is that single events are ordered by God and that every event comes from his intended will. Nothing happens by chance.”...

John Calvin: "Hence we maintain that, by His providence, not heaven and earth and inanimate creatures only, but also the counsels and wills of men are so governed as to move exactly in the course which He has destined." Grace and peace to you as well.

Where does "Calvinism" say God is under a law?

Man doesn't have a will that is free from God. Man's will is what God forms it to be. Proverbs 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

Where is the logical problem?

God determined both your lunch and your ignorance of His determination. Do you think God has some super power to look into the future? He knows everything because He determines everything. If He looked into the future, then He was ignorant beforehand.

Now you are like the non-Calvinists. Isaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Acts 17:28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own...

You know too much, friend. As in, you think you "know" more than you actually know. I have been locked on your point from the beginning. You have been the one deflecting from your own point. You said: Your point was to attack a specific behavior of God in "Calvinism". Why would God command...

God predestinated that you would be responsible for sinning. If you can't grasp this, then you can't grasp the reformed position.

You said God did not predetermine sin. You said God predetermined the crucifixion. So you believe that the crucifixion was not a sinful act.

Can there be a crucifixion without sin?

You establish God predetermined sin. Yet He commands men to not sin. Now what was your problem again? Why don't you be consistent and ask why God commanded men to not sin, if He has already decided they would sin in the crucifixion?

I was thinking about that verse today. Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him. I completely want to be faithful like this.

You must think it's absurd for God to have ordained the crucifixion while commanding men to not murder.

You continue to confuse.

Can anything exist apart from God's power? I'll answer your question. I know why God brought us into existence. Solely for His Glory. Thank you, I hope the same. Can anything exist apart from God's power?

No, that is not what I am saying. The idea is very simple. You established God creates evil. ("God did create all things") So how can you rationally deny He causes evil? What is the difference? And why do you deny He causes evil? He boldly, unapologetically reveals His active, focused...
