Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Joseph Bellamy, D. D, Vol. 2 of 2: First Pastor of the Church in Bethlem, Conn;, With a Memoir of His Life and Character Great offence hath been taken at the answer the Assembly of Divines have given to this question, What are the decrees of God? Answer. The decrees of God are his eternal purpose, according to the counsel of his own will, whereby for his own glory he hath foreordained whatsoever comes to pass. Often hath it been said, "If God foreordained whatsoever comes to pass, then he foreordained sin." As though it were evidently the greatest absurdity in nature, to suppose that God really thought it best, on the whole, that sin ever should exist in the world he had made. And I suppose it is generally taken for granted that it had been much better, if sin and misery had been forever unknown; and looked upon as one of the most unaccountable things, that God ever suffered affairs in this world to take such a course as they have. I do not imagine mankind would ever have thought of disputing God´s right to lay out a universal plan, had the plan appeared to them wise and good. We do not dispute our superior´s right, in time of war, to lay out a plan of operation for an ensuing campaign, although it is expected it will cost many a precious life, when, on the whole, we think the plan is wise and good.
