I agree with that article.

Thanks for the comments, Bro. Dallas. Perhaps it would have been good to include the last paragraph:

Bro. Vaughn,
My comments are limited, I don't believe any thing I could say could add anything to what you have quoted.
Bro. Dallas -
Thus God is the author of sin
- The article is flawed - ESPECIALLY the last quote - and if you reread the whole post in the light of the linked foreknowledge/predestination
one gets sick
God knows everything not because He set it up - Gods foreknowledge is greater then that - it is such that He knows everything, past,present, future, possible, practical, real and fictional - no matter who the originator is -

I disagree with the term predestination used... I feel allowed or permissive will would be a better term... To Primitive Baptist predestination is a term that means destination afore time... Did God predestinate the crucifiction of his own son or by his permissive will allow it?... I believe the latter!
Then there is Absolute Predestination along with foreordination and the word ordained... Again what is ordained or foreordained and predestinated and are not these words similar or are they only examined according to the foreknowledge of God?... According to his purpose they are called but predestination is so they will be conformed into the image of his Son... Predestination is for confirmation only and not for everything pro or con that leads to it... It is only mentioned four times in scripture Romans 8:29-30 and Ephesians 1:5 and 11 and only applies to the redeemed in Christ... Interesting article but those are my thoughts!... Brother Glen -
