Then thats an attack on Gods Sovereignty as I see it, and elevating the creatures will over Gods.
Sovereignty simply means God’s ability and right to rule the world.
Calvinism sees God's sovereignty as determining human will. It results in a fatalist determinism.
Christianity, by contrast, sees God's sovereignty
as incorporating human will through infallible foreknowledge.
The two cannot be further apart. Calvinism's sovereignty,
divine determinism, is the belief that God determines, causes, and orchestrates
everything in history according to His preconceived plan,
including sin and evil. This is where Calvinism and Islam are nearly identical in their understanding of God. The God of Calvinism / Islam acts with pure will, even above and contra-reason. The God of Calvinism / Islam is unconstrained by any principle or any reason and hence capriciousness is essential to His very nature. Thus He can and does act completely arbitrarily. In Calvinism / Islam, God acts
Voluntas. This is why you have no problem calling God a rapist of Mary, forcing Himself upon her against her will. In Calvinism / Islam, God can and even does deceive. This again is because they believe God acts with pure will. Therefore, He is not even bound by His own commands. For example, Calvin taught God deceives people by illumining their minds into thinking they are elect, only to pull the rug out from under them at the end...
“Nor do I even deny that
God illumines their [reprobates] minds to this extent, that they recognize his grace; but that conviction he distinguishes from the peculiar testimony which he gives to his elect in this respect, that the reprobate never attain to the full result or to fruition.
When he shows himself propitious to them, it is not as if he had truly rescued them from death, and taken them under his protection. He only gives them a manifestation of his present mercy.” (
Institutes, 3.2.11)
To the Christian, this is incompatible with the God revealed by Jesus Christ. The God of Christianity is a God of Logos, that is one who acts with
reason and Word. This Word is intelligible, creative and able to communicate Himself. Simply put, if God is not Logos but instead pure will (like Calvinism / Islam), then simply saying God is Logos immediately places a limit upon Him. If God is pure will, then anything that is can be the opposite of what it is, and then nothing would be what it truly is. God would thus be able to command something which is evil to be good and something which is good to be evil, so that all man knows is the will of God.
