This is heresy
God doesn’t decree evil things to happen.
Jeremiah 19:5 shows God does not decree the wicked actions of man.
It shows God horrified by the acts of men.
It shows that the sinful acts of men don’t even come to God’s mind.
Abandon the Heresy, James.
It will not bode well for you when you have to answer for blaspheming God’s character.
Repent everyone, who holds to this sort of heresy.
Jeremiah 19:5
5 They have built the high places of Baal to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I did not command or mention, nor did it enter my mind.
You can’t decree something without it entering your mind to decree it. Not even God can do that that’s illogical.
You also can’t decree something happen and make it come to pass without being responsible for it. Not even God can do that. He can’t shirk responsibility. He’s not Adam. (Who tried to shirk responsibility to Eve and God didn’t let him and held him accountable btw.)
Oh my! At times like this we must truly dig down deep to the sovereignty of God. Think of Open Theists and their God who is just as surprised by this event as they are! Or those who limit God's decree so that all God can now do is "make the best come out of this." No, God's eternal purpose is being worked out, and, in that final day, it will all resound to the "praise of His glorious grace."
