First of all, I didn't assign guilt to God. I asked you a question. You see, PA, Thask and others here have assigned guilt to God. And since you're so worldly-minded, I wanted to know if you believe as they do.
|
No you didn't. You asked me to assign guilt to God by your
false premise either the human beings or God is guilty. You assume I am like you worldly minded. I assure you I am not.
Unlike you I do not give lip service to God's sovereignty and then say let me tell you why God can't do this. Your theology is based in humanism and it suits you well.
Acts 3:14-16
14 You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. 15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.
NIV
Asking is not doing. What is humorous is your insistent behavior of equating words with different meanings. Scripture clearly states the Jews
asked, not did, the government did the doing. Pilate had the authority to refuse the request.

Or did God's predestination force them to sin by carrying out his eternal plan?

That is Luther's position. God causes man to sin.

God allowed Satan to possess Judas! (Now talk about someone being "controlled" by another entity!) So, is Judas guilty of betraying Christ or did the devil make him do it, since God granted Satan that power? Can Judas really be accountable since it appears he wasn't in control of his faculties?
|
God allowed it, because Judas allowed it. Judas gave into the devil's temptation. (John 13:2). So Judas is guilty of sin. There are no references in Scripture saying Judas was not in control of his facilities, when the devil induced him. Again, you try and use a
false premise as your primary weapon to induce me to make a false choice.

I think you're wetter than Pilate's hands were. Jesus never told Pilate that he was innocent. Quite the contrary!
|
This was already addressed in my post about culpability. For emphasis, Jesus did not tell Pilate that Pilate was culpable for Jesus' death, as you allege.
Alright I got back to you. All your post proved is your use of false premise, use of false equivalencies of words and use of innuendo. For you to hog tie me or anyone, we would have to tie the knots ourselves, by agreeing with illogical reasoning.
Now that I reflect upon my statement, I see my mistake. Your attempt at logic is pathetic rather than humorous.
