Featured Does God Control Sin?

So He is the author of sin. Well that means that man is not responsible for any sin they commit as God has authored it and since we can not go against Him you have just made God the greatest sinner.

The fact that the bible says He does not sin which means He can not be the author of sin sort of flies in the face of your argument.

 

You can disagree I believe God's purpose is the First Cause of everything to include sin, it served His Eternal Purpose in Christ Eph 3:11

 

You read my post I didn't stutter

 

The most commonly used answer to God's control of the problem of evil and suffering is to claim that God has a "good reason" for allowing it.

The "Greater Good" Argument.

What we think is evil or "out of control" is really necessary for the divinely predicted final outcome.
It leads a sufferer to conclude that evil and sin are not really so bad after all...for it's all part of God's plan.
There are problems with this argument:
It means that all evil and suffering is necessary; God couldn't accomplish his plan without it.

This can lead to a fatalistic attitude towards our suffering;
Why pray for deliverance if God has control of things and planned the suffering for good?​

There is an aspect of the Greater Good Argument that includes Free Will.

God values FREE WILL so much that even if it results in terrible evil and suffering, it is all worth it (from God's perspective).

At a funeral I'm sure you've heard, "God has a reason, there must be a purpose".
A family member has cancer, "God has a reason, there must be a purpose."
(The phrase can push a person away from God. Don't say it!)

Psalm 39:1-3; 7–11 (NASB 2020)
I said, “I will keep watch over my ways
So that I do not sin with my tongue;

I will keep watch over my mouth as with a muzzle
While the wicked are in my presence.” ​

I was mute and silent,

I refused to say even something good,
And my pain was stirred up. ​

My heart was hot within me,

While I was musing the fire burned;
Then I spoke with my tongue:​

And now, Lord, for what do I wait?

My hope is in You.​

Save me from all my wrongdoings;

Do not make me an object of reproach for the foolish.​

I have become mute, I do not open my mouth,

Because it is You who have done it.​

Remove Your plague from me;

Because of the opposition of Your hand I am perishing.​

With rebukes You punish a person for wrongdoing;

You consume like a moth what is precious to him;​

Certainly all mankind is mere breath!

Selah​

Might I suggest you tone down your posts a bit.
Words like 'blasphemous' and 'unbiblical' are uncalled for.
Instead post reasons why you disagree with a position or why it should not be considered.

Disagreement is not blasphemy.
If it were your opening premise might be considered blasphemous.

God is not Absolutely Sovereign.
God is sovereign over his creation.
But God cannot do absolutely anything without restraint or restriction.
God simply cannot do that which is against his nature.

It matters in the discussion you began.

You can disagree, I believe sin was ordained and purposed by God in accordance with His Eternal Purpose in Christ

 

God authored sin as He is the first cause of sin in the world, as He is with everything else.

 

To say God isnt absolutely Sovereign is Blasphemy, His Kingdom/Sovereignty rules all Ps 103:19

The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
