Explaining God’s sovereign plan and control over the universe along with the rol

Explaining God’s sovereign plan and control over the universe along with the role of human choice and human responsibility is a challenge. Address the question of whether God determines everything and every detail of what happens.
What do you think of Erickson’s “moderately Calvinistic model” (chapter 15) for explaining the relationship of God’s plan and human actions? Do you agree? Disagree? Why? Explain your current thinking. Be sure you are respectful in your response posts to one another.
A major issue related to God’s providence is the role of prayer. What do you think of Erickson’s explanation of providence and prayer (chapter 17)? How do you deal with this dilemma?
All these questions deal with the same overall issue of God’s providence. Tackle the overall issue and deal with as many of the questions and implications as you can.
Your discussion posts should always demonstrate an awareness of pertinent theological concepts. A careful reading of Erickson each week should give you the necessary background for intelligent discussion.
