Section 1 - No mere permission!
He decrees and "commands the execution" of what will happen.
Job 1:21; 1 Kings 22:22; Acts 4:28; 2:23; 3:18; 2 Sam 12:12; 16:22; Jer 7:14; 50:25; 2 Sam 16:10-11; 1 Kings 11:31; 1 Sam 2:34.
Section 2 - How does God's impulse come to pass in men?
He controls the hearts of men (Prov 21:1; Ezek 7:26; Lev 26:36; 1 Sam 26:12; Isa 29:14; Isa 29:10; Rom 1:20-24, 28; Ex 14:17; Ex 4:21; Josh 11:20; Ps 105:25; 1 Sam 16:14; 2 Cor 4:4; 2 Thess 2:11; Ezek 14:9).
Section 3 - God's will is a unity
It doesn't contradict itself.
Ps 50:6; Job 1:21; 1 Sam 2:25; Ps 115:3; Isa 45:7; Amos 3:6; Deut 19:5; Acts 4:28; Eph 3:9-10.
Section 4 - Even when God uses the deeds of the godless for His purposes, He does not suffer reproach.
"His will is different from His precept."
The determined that Jesus die on the cross, but Judas himself decided to betray Him. The sam event had two causes.
If this troubles you, consider that you are refusing clear Scriptural proof because you can't understand it by reason.
