WHAT IS THE TRUE HIDDEN DIVINE PLAN OF GOD?
With God being the singular cause of the beginning (John 1:3), and given that He knows and has always known every detail about the future, He has clearly caused (at least in the ultimate sense) everything that has ever come to pass, knowing full well that that was exactly what He was doing. "But what about sin?" one might ask. "Does God cause people to sin?" According to the Bible, God caused the murder of His Son, Jesus (Acts 4:27-28). God caused the Israelites to stray from His ways (Isaiah 63:17). God caused marauding Sabeans and Chaldeans to murder Job's children and servants (Job 1:21-22). God caused King David to take a census that He then condemned Him for taking (1 Chronicles 21:1-8; 2 Samuel 24:1). God caused Eli's sons to disobey, dishonor, and disrespect both their father and God Himself (1 Samuel 2:25). According to the Bible, God certainly causes people to sin. "But doesn't this make the Biblical God evil?" comes the reply. Absolutely not! Humans are commanded to obey certain laws by God, but the only reason we are obligated to obey these rules is because God has commanded us to. No rule is binding on a human being if it does not ultimately come from God Himself. The same is true for all of the rest of creation. But because a rule is binding on humans, this does not even remotely imply that the same rule is binding on God Himself, the authority behind all rules. In other words, even if we were to agree that it would be wrong of me to cause you to sin, that does not mean it would be wrong of God to cause you to sin. - See more at: http://www.godcontention.org/compare-religions/does-god-control-humans#sthash.4faXLHRE.dpuf
