I was pondering the sovereignty of God while discussing this topic with some rabid arminian brothers (which seem to be 95% of believers in the USA In my most humble opinion). So I started searching with the word "world" to see where it is used in the bible to see where it can mean something other than "the entire world" and came across the Book of Job and noticed how his friends gave fantastic statements of how The Lord is sovereign over all. This got me to thinking in how God does reveal in scripture that He is sovereign, but they idea that we can understand how he works all for "the good for those believe" is beyond our comprehension.
The main thing I am pondering is can we employ Job's friends discourses to show that He is soverign over all which includes evil? I hesitate because the misconception that ALL his friends said was wrong. Could it be what they said was all true concerning The Lord's sovereignty and that the why was totally off.
