Preachers cannot say every thing every time. Sometimes they get it wrong.
Bloggers don’t get it right every time–so I correct an error:
Not everything that comes into our lives comes from the hand of God. I differentiate: something coming to me from the hand of God, and something coming through the hand of God. That may be semantic triviality, but for me it says that evil does not originate with God. I even get nervous saying that sometimes God allows it. Evil, sin or effects of the fall can never be traced to God.
Sorry. Changes everything!
