Theological conundrum? “To Armenians: God orchestrates everything. To Calvinists: God manipulates nothing.”
A Christian response…
God’s Plan concerning Time and Eternity is immutable, the process by which that Plan attains fruition is fluid. God has so decreed that His created beings, both angelic and human, possess free will in order that love and relationship with Him can manifest in purity and authenticity. God, in His omnipotence, works through and around our personal choices to accomplish His perfect will. This is essential for judgment in Eternity to manifest with equity with due process. It matters NOT what Armenians or Calvinists or any man or woman has said or believes…the only Truth that is relevant and eternal is what the Holy Spirit has revealed.
