If you're not Calvinist you essentially believe that human will is more powerful than God's will which is basically just blasphemy.
>>43118778If you are a Calvinist then God is the demiurge that the Gnostics talk about.
>>43118778What's the power scaling lore of force of will between your God and yourself. Where do you draw your lines?
Hey, have any of you giga faggots seen a paranormal board around here?
>>431187781 Thessalonians 5:18“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”Christians have not thanked God for everything. There are more examples, but this proves that God allows things to happen that are not according to His will.Everybody is born a vessel "of wrath."The real question is why does God put up with such vessels. Peter said that God "is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Pet. 3:9). The goal of God's longsuffering is not to show His wrath; it is to give the sinner a chance to repent so he won't have to experience the wrath of God against his sins.Now, if that is the case (and it is), why does Paul say, "What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known"? Paul is making a supposition (not a doctrinal statement) on something he said earlier in the chapter so he can draw a conclusion from it. "To make his power known" is a reference back to Pharaoh in Rom 9:17: "that I might shew my power in thee."God raised Pharaoh to the throne of Egypt so He could demonstrate His power in judgment against him when he wouldn't let Israel go. That purpose was based on God's foreknowledge of what Pharaoh would do (Exodus 3:17-19). But God did give Pharaoh a legitimate chance to repent, and God did not harden his heart until he turned that chance down twice.So when Paul says, "willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known," it has nothing to do with God damning a man against his will back before Genesis 1:1. It is God, in His foreknowledge, waiting to enact His wrath on a sinner who is rejecting Christ the whole time God is longsuffering toward him and giving that man a chance to be saved.God doesn't need prove His almighty power to you by using it how you would use it. God wants people to choose things on their own. You have a choice to accept salvation or not accept it.www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VRT2FFXntc
>>43118894Yeah, but the demiurge isn't evil so much as it's defective/crazy. But what do you expect when it got tossed into black hole 13 billion or more years ago? It got lonely and created a universe. It does love you, but most likely as part of the whole of its creation, rather than as a unique individual. It isn't evil, it's just imperfect.
