Anonymous asked: “If God is not all-benevolent, how do you know whether he is benevolent towards you?”Because it is written, “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.” (Jer. 17:7)And again it is written, “We love him, because he first loved us.” (I John 4:19)-TurretinFan

Thank you for the answer.So you say that God is not all-benevolent, an attribute orthodox christendom has affirmed ever since the rise of christianity?You deny God’s goodness? Scripture abundantly shows God’s all-comprising goodness. God’s all-benevolence has never been objected to, not even in reformed circles, has it? Did Luther deny all-benevolence? I don’t think so. I wonder where you get the idea from that God is not all-benevolent? Don’t you think this is a grave deviance from orthodoxy? Are you not forced to dismiss a lot of God’s word in order to come to that creed?

Omni-benevolence is not “an attribute orthodox christendom has affirmed,” much less since the beginning.A wrote: “You deny God’s goodness?”That’s certainly not what I do! God is good. Goodness and omni-benevolence are not interchangeable.A wrote: “Scripture abundantly shows God’s all-comprising goodness.”God’s perfect goodness is Scripture’s teaching.A wrote: “God’s all-benevolence has never been objected to, not even in reformed circles, has it?”Of course it has.A wrote: “Did Luther deny all-benevolence? I don’t think so.”I don’t know or care. Luther carries very little weight with me.A wrote: “I wonder where you get the idea from that God is not all-benevolent?”Scripture – the only place where we can get a clear idea of God.A wrote: “Don’t you think this is a grave deviance from orthodoxy?”It would be a grave deviation to deny God’s goodness. It would be a deviation to affirm omni-benevolence.A wrote: “Are you not forced to dismiss a lot of God’s word in order to come to that creed?”On the contrary, as noted above, a denial of omni-benevolence is the only reasonable inference from Scripture.-TurretinFan
