20 CALVINISTS: don’t accuse God, Guy Hunt When I served as Probate Judge, I was probating a will one day for a young man, who had been killed in an automobile accident. The lawyer, whose father was a Calvinist, told me he was this much like a Primitive Baptist; it was just his time to go. I told him Primitive Baptists had never believed that kind of doctrine. I explained to him that for that theory to work, you would take down all the red light, remove the speed limit, cross at railroad crossings without looking for trains, and just floor board it, for you could not go before your time. He looked at me and said, “That would not work, would it?”
To apply the all things in Rom. 8:28 to drunks getting drunk and pulling into the path of a sweet mother with her car full of kids and killing them all, would be accusing God of causing wickedness. I can still see the fire in the eyes of the late Elder C.M. Mills of the Bear Creek Association, when fighting such heresy. He would say, “Don’t accuse my God of such wickedness.” Guy Hunt: Pathway of Truth: January, 2003
