Westminster Confession Of Faith And The Fall Of Man

Your comprehension is poor, which is partly responsible for your bigotry.

God chose not to destroy Adam and Eve instantly. God had a plan to display grace. He started that act of grace with Adam and Eve.

Somehow by your twisted pretzel logic, you end up despising the acknowledgement of grace expressed in the Confession.

Please, Andy, get a clue before posting.

 

I read the confession. Your take on it is not what the Confession is saying. You're wasting people's time with your foolishness.

 

Since this is the Baptist Board, let me quote from the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith, 6:1:

It does say "God was pleased, according to his wise and holy counsel to permit, having purposed it to his own glory". No where does it say that God was pleased with sin itself. To say otherwise is to be purposefully obtuse. We see this in Gen. 50:20 when Joseph said to his brothers, "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive." God was pleased with the final outcome of the evil (sin) that Joseph's brothers committed, not the sin itself. In James 1, James writes to encourage his readers about the trials and persecutions they faced. Many of these trials were undoubtedly caused by sin. James was not happy with the sin, but the blessings that came in spite of the sin. The book of Job is another example. Job's wife supposed that Job was cursed by God (probably because of his sin), and he should curse God and die (Job 2:9). There are more passages I can cite, but something tells me that they will fall on deaf ears of those who have already closed them.

 

God allowed them to do their "free will" thing, and he also had purposed and ordained that there would be something glorious come out from it, namely, the Cross of Christ, and Him one day forever dealing with problems of Evil and sin!
