God wills that what he hates come to pass, as well as what he loves
No wonder most people have a problem understanding God's will. A will that causes hate and love by the simple act of will alone. Only the tortured reasoning of someone like Jonathan Edwards can even try to justify that kind of thought. The anologies are laughable. Cold is not the lack of heat, nor heat the absence of cold, but both are the product of transferences of energies. Looking at his arguements scientifically, sin is the transference of evil(cold) to good(heat). This is a common problem with elder philosophers, the context of their arguments no longer fit the times. While they must be respected, they must not be blindly quoted.
