Okay, let me see if I have this straight…. James White believes that since God ordained all things (INCLUDING the FALL) evil has to have some sort of purpose. A reason or greater good? OY! I’ve heard of going “Out on a Limb” but Mr. White is clearly OUT OF HIS TREE! If God ordained the Fall, then GOD, NOT ADAM AND EVE, is to blame for the mess humanity is in. How can A&E be blamed for a choice they had no part in making, since, for the sake of discussion, humanity does not have a will, and we are being puppeteered from one situation to another by some cosmic Jim Henson. Actually, I shouldn’t say that. Jim Henson wouldn’t have dreamed of doing the things the god of Calvinism would have humanity do. A) because we have no will to decide. and B) because in order to know what was going to happen, God had to make it happen. This makes ZERO sense. Mr. White is trying to stuff God into his theology, which does unspeakable damage to the cause of Christ. Not only did ‘God’ (again, for the sake of making the point) frame humanity for something HE had our parents do (eat the forbidden fruit) but He did it in order to know what would happen because He is NOT truly omniscient. This is the god of Calvinism NOT the GOD of the Bible. If Mr. White, or any other five point Calvinist can prove, conclusively, that the god of Calvinism IS the God of the Bible, they will have much more success at ‘winning’ souls to the devil, than to heaven.
