No it’s not. God does not will that rape happen. God does not will that sin happen.

Rape is sin. God does not will it or intend it. God permits evil men and women to do evil things. God intends and wills that they do good.

It’s theology like yours that destroys the Christian witness.

Period.

To: Houghton M.

Our preacher just had a good sermon on our Sovereign God that as he talked about it, it made sense. Of course I’ve forgotten the main point now!

But that God IS sovereign, in spite of the sin and bad things that happen. And he also made the point that SOMEtimes, but not usually, God does cause bad things to happen to people if it will make them turn back to Him in the long run). Things like the Babylonian captivity.

But usually, the bad things that happen to us are either other people’s sin, our sin, are stupidity, or acts of nature. BUT - through it all - God is still Sovereign.
