We are certainly divided on this issue.
God does not give some people some beliefs and others contradictory beliefs. God wants all to believe the same thing (1 Cor 1:10).
Contradictory doctrines cannot both be for God's glory. God wants us to know the truth. There are not contradictory truths concerning a particular point of doctrine.
What would you call it then?
Of course not.
I believe most everyone here is a Christian. On that I think we can agree. In that sense we have unity. But I believe that if we disagree on something, it's not God's doing. He wants us to know the truth. He would not give me one truth, and you another truth that contradicts what I believe.

No need for division at all that I see. If we get this idea that any little disagreement is a "
DIVISION" out of our heads, and we might even be able to discuss with each other without looking like enemies to each other to the rest of the world looking in. I don't know how you can make divisions here with brothers the Lord has spiritually resurrected, and reconciled to the Father over a disagreement.

So when the child disobeys his/her parent, the parent should shake his/her fist at God?
Tell the child “gee, so sorry you were hurt, it's all God's fault ... it surely isn't your own doing and you can continue to touch the stove"???

Only in your mind does comforting a child who burns his/her hand equate.
fyi … when a child burns his/her hand on the stove, we treat the wound and tell the child that the stove is hot and it will burn.
The next time the parent gives warning, the child may listen a little more attentively.
This information, too, will probably go in one ear and out the other …

We're on page 20 of this thread and you have yet to post chapter and verse which supports your claim.
Also, when your error in interpretation is pointed out, you won't take the time to read because "long posts [you] ignore".
You've been told where. You refuse to hear. And then keep asking the same question after you've been given the answer.

God allows evil, He doesn't cause it.
Evil comes from a privation in the creaturely will.
“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. “All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.”” (Mark 7:21–23)
There's the origin of evil in our universe....from within the heart of man
God created the universe....Adam changed the universe when he fell.
There is no problem here=Biblical and philosophically consistent.

There are many questions Dave-L will not answer. In his Post #30, Dave-L asked stated "We choose precisely what God wants based on the reasons he places before us."
I replied to him in Post #57 and asked him did Adam "choose precisely what God wants" given the fact that God told Adam in Gen 2:17 not to eat of the tree of knowledge of. good and evil?
How could Adam have done "precise what God wants" when God told Adam not to eat?
That was the first question I asked Dave-L which he still refuses to answer.
Dave-L's erroneous dogma has his understanding of Scripture falling apart at Genesis 2.
Since what Dave-L believes does not line up with Scripture ... he doesn't believe Scripture ... and he is then carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive (Eph 4:14).
