Also, either you believe in an almighty, sovereign God, or you don't. I believe that God IS in charge.

To deny this would be to imply that God CANNOT stop bad things.

In the Garden, who was in control? Was it Satan? Or Adam? Or God? If you agree that God was in control, then logically God also allowed Adam and Eve to eat of the fruit.

When Christ died on the cross - who COULD have stopped it? Christ Himself could have prevented that from happening, but if He had - none of us would be saved.
