Great job, we’re blessed by your teachings in these articles of theology that are so needed in our time. Blessings

Let me know when you get to the part in the confession or Bible where it says you have to be 12 years old to be a baptized believer who is worthy to be given communion. 😑 I was holding a fulltime job when y’all would have said I was an infant unworthy of communion. My daughter cried and said, “they don’t think I’m a Christian?”

1) If God did not decree for Adam and Eve to fall, why did they choose to desire to know evil and choose to disobey God by eating from the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil?
2) If “God decreed (or ordained) everything to come to pass”, whose fault was the fall of Adam and Eve? If Adam and Eve were at fault, does it not destroy your premise that “God decreed everything to come to pass”? If Adam and Eve were at fault, does it not prove that they had freewill to choose evil or good before they ever sinned?
3) If Adam and Eve were at fault, did they already have a sinful nature to begin with before they desired to know evil and chose to disobey God?
4) If God did not create evil or is not an author of evil, whose fault was it that Adam and Eve desired to know evil and chose evil?
5) Again, if God decreed everything whatsoever shall come to pass, did God decree Adam and Eve to fall?

You are not correct in saying that God is selective in what he reveals. He gives ALL wisdom to those who ask and he gives it freely. All wisdom is not selected revelation to some and not others it is a promise and god stands by his promises. He doesn't choose to hold back knowledge he gives it freely to those who ask. Everyone has the same opportunity to learn the wisdom of God if THEY so choose to ask for it. So for you to say that God doesn't owe us anything in regards to knowledge is saying that God does not honor his promises.

Mr. Aaron Wright, your Romans 9 understanding is inconsistent and incoherent. Esau was hated but Jacob was loved (both by the way did evil) simply because Jacob acted in faith by securing the firstborn right that rested on Esau. Jacob believed his grand father Abraham’s promise made to him by God. Esau exchanged his right for a bowl of soup. God’s law is unchangeable but requires faith to pursue righteousness thus Jacob was loved by God because he pursued it by faith just as Romans 9:31-32 writes when Paul said that the gentiles pursued it by faith even though they were wicked as they did not have the laws of God contrasting it to the jews who had the Law but did not pursue it by faith.
