Maybe because you are not God. Maybe because your theology has a fatal flaw in it that you defend simply by calling those ignorant who point it out.

I am going to use your reasoning. I believe what I believe because God is sovereign
And He ordained it that way.

Because I let God be Sovereign and act as He wills without explaining himself, you call that a fatal flaw. LOL.
Reynolds, when God reveals something to us we can speak to that. When God remains silent it is best to remain silent.
God has not told us why He ordained that evil would exist. God is under no obligation to explain His will.
Why are you trying to explain what God does not reveal? Why are you trying to force your demands for an answer upon God? Your actions strike me as being one who can't stand not having control and not knowing. They strike me as being similar to Satan's attitude.
I am very content in letting God do whatever God wills. I am thankful for what God has revealed. I do not feel the need to pry into God and demand that He answer what He chooses not to answer. I suggest you stop demanding from God and start resting in God's goodness. I am a very grateful man that God would choose to clean a filthy rag such as me. That is enough for me.

Have you established that I am not content in "letting God do whatever He wills"? You make the same false assumption that many Calvinists make. You assume that anyone who does not agree with you on every minute detail is a full blown Arminian.

Your own arguments establish that Reynolds.
However, I know you're not Arminian. You are a syncretist who does not understand Sovereignty.

I understand Sovereignty. I just do not buy into your illogical application of it. God said this but really wanted msn to do the opposite, etc. etc.
You can call me what you like. I would just say I am a Christian. How did Christians get along before the mid 1500s? The only man they had to name themselves after was Christ!

I'm not saying you aren't a Christian. You are a syncretist, which means you don't understand Sovereignty.

I understand Sovereignty. You have the problem understanding sovereignty. (How many times do we need to say that?) It has become childish. "You don't. No, I do. You don't. No, you dont but I do." We both sound like two 5 year olds.
You could say I am a syncretist. I would say I am in good company in that position.

Sovereignty is quite simple. God wills and it happens as He wills. Enough said.
