Examples

  • God does not decretively will the salvation of all men, no matter how much He may desire it; and if any verses taught that He decretively willed or intended the salvation of all men, they would contradict those other parts of the Scripture which teach that God sovereignly rules and that it is His purpose to leave some to be punished.

    The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination 1959

  • God does not commit sin; humans commit sin although God wills it decretively, determines that it shall happen, and is the ultimate cause of it "(Erickson 1985, p. 418).
