So God ordains all the horrible acts of humanity?
Do you realize how awful your borrowed opinion sounds?
"Supralapsarianism is the doctrine that the events of history were brought about by God for no other reason other than these events are a fulfillment of His decree to glorify Himself and that these events are brought about as a means to an end. This is also known as
Absolute Predestination. In other words, God decreed all the events of the world including the fall of men, redemption, damnation, every drop of rain, every word uttered by men, and every grunt made by beast all before the foundation of the world
in order to bring about His desired result. I believe that God predestined His elect to fall in Adam
so that they would be saved in Christ.
Most calvinists today are infralapsarians and they believe that God decreed to send Christ and save His people
because of the fall. In the infralapsarian scheme God chooses to save individuals out of the mass of
fallen humanity and then
passes over the rest of humanity in reprobation. Infralapsarians usually claim to be against equal ultimacy, but it is my opinion that they cannot logically escape the conclusion that “passing over” is the same as “not electing” which is really
election to the negative. It is my opinion that infralapsarianism is really a scheme of
selection and not the biblical doctrine of
election. Infralapsarians are often found to be opposed to supralapsarianism because they usually believe that supralapsarianism makes God the “
author of sin.” What I find odd about that phrase is that it is nowhere to be found in Scripture, yet it’s a phrase that is often guarded like a sacred cow not to be touched. For the record, I do not believe evil and sin originate in the character of God but that He predestined these events for His purposes. It is impossible for God to sin, so I really don’t see what the big deal is. If you want a good definition of sin or evil, just look to God for the definitions as these things are the
exact opposite of His Holy Nature. While infralapsarians often accuse
supralapsarians with charging God as the “author of sin,” supralapsarians can equally charge infralapsarians with believing that God
allowed sin to happen and did nothing to stop it! If I had to pick which one was worse based solely on logic, I’d have to conclude the infralapsarian scheme is because it depicts God with not getting what He wanted and without power to stop something He did not predestine. Infralapsarians also have difficulty explaining where sin came from and sometimes refer to a strange doctrine known as
eternal law that exists outside of God which God Himself is bound to obey. I don’t know where any scriptural foundation for this strange belief is found, so you’ll have to ask an infralapsarian that believes in these things to explain this for you if you’re interested. It is my belief that God is the eternal law if there is such a thing."
