Today, some "Christian" people deny the doctrine of God's decree. Why is this denial actually a denying that God is God? What precious benefits are these people denying themselves when they deny the truth of God's decree?

Imagine visiting a large hospital construction site. As you observe, everything appears to be in a state of confusion. The electricians do not know where to string their wires, nor do the plumbers know where to install their pipes. A great deal of arguing is taking place over the size and location of various rooms and hallways.

In amazement, you ask the supervisor to see a set of plans for the building.
include "../doctrineincs/regufont.html"; ?>
"We do not have any plans," he responds.
include "../doctrineincs/regufont.html"; ?>
"What! Constructing a large building like this without any construction plans? How does everyone know what they are supposed to do? How do you know what the outcome will be?
include "../doctrineincs/regufont.html"; ?>
"Oh, everyone decides for himself what he should do, and regarding the outcome - we don't really know what the end result will be like; the building keeps changing all the time."
include "../doctrineincs/regufont.html"; ?>
What would you say in response to this supervisor? Have you ever heard of someone building or operating anything without a plan?
include "../doctrineincs/regufont.html"; ?>
Why is it foolish to imagine God creating and operating His entire creation without a "plan"? What do we call God's "plan"? How is God's "plan" infinitely greater than any human plan?

God's decree includes so many particulars that it is often spoken of in a plural sense, as God's "decrees," but in reality there is only one divine decree in which all things are comprehended.
