The Will of Man

A common query today may be posed to Christians: If God is perfect, and intended His world to be perfect, why did He permit Lucifer and then humanity to turn from Him?

Else, why bother with making a fallen world, and only taking a select few (the elect) to a better one, while the rest go on to punishment?

Who Put Jesus on the Cross?

Greetings again. This was an old question posed in a book written by A. W. Tozer decades ago. It was the name of the book, and the motivating message that was threaded through its pages.
