A Better Analogy
Either everything runs on its own, or God is in control of everything. Which is it? Most Christians today hold to the first view. They don’t like the idea of God controlling us like puppets. I like the latter view, because I like the idea of God controlling us like “clay” (Rom. 9:21-24). This puts God in control of His universe. Yet you’ll say, “The Potter knew ahead of time how the clay wanted to be shaped.” The clay wanted to be shaped? Lol.
