Hope you don't mind me commenting on your post. ...even a stray molecule could cause God to be a failure if he is not in control of that molecule. Why would God be a failure if he doesn't control everything right down to each single molecule? A failure at what? I know Calvinists stress God's sovereignity and say that God must therefore be in control of everything. But why does sovereignity require total control in the first place? Seems that if God is sovereign, he could just as well limit his control as exercise it. Next: Why did God permit Adam and Eve to sin? Doesn't Calvinism hold that God didn't just allow it ("allow" actually sounds Arminian), he fore-ordained it? Continuing: ...I have perfect freedom... Logically, how can you have perfect freedom if God controls everything in the universe right down to each molecule? Isn't free will an illusion as I think Luther said? Are you sure you're a Calvinist? ÿ
