Even the King Jimmy doesn’t say “without Him knowing “ that’s conjecture on your part. I checked about a dozen translations that say something similar to “His Will”.
I am asking because I might have missed something but...
where does John state God does not will ?
I think some here are translating their own understanding of the will of God onto the pages of scripture
there is a difference between God making something happen and God allowing it because of the will of a person and the choices they make
sin has its own consequences
as far as the story of Joseph goes, does the Bible actually state that God caused the brothers to do what they did?
what we hear Joseph say, is that they meant what they did for evil, but God caused good to come out of it
BIG big difference between ordering people to do evil and turning the evil for good
what does this scripture state?:
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
causes all things to work together does not mean causes things to happen
God is above all else, and I do not mean nor do I refer to His attributes here, CREATOR
He never stops
He is not the divine oligarch or manipulator
it starts in Genesis. He creates.
