A Different Usage of a Word
“For God is not the author of confusion...” “... neither tempteth he any man” 1 Cor. 14:33; Jam. 1:13). Here God isn’t the author of confusion, nor tempteth He any man WITHIN HIS CREATION. But when I use “author” to speak of God outside creation, I have a different usage in mind than how it is used in these verses. An author isn’t evil by writing evil into his story of what must be, but would be evil by writing himself in as being evil to the characters within his story.
