| | | Edwards Quote: Where does it come from???
Could someone tell me where this quote often atributed to Edwards is located? Everyone uses it but no one cites it. Quote: |
Whether God has decreed all things that ever come to pass or not, all that own the being of a God, own that He knows all things beforehand. Now, it is self-evident that if He knows all things beforehand, He either doth approve of them or doth not approve of them; that is, He either is willing they should be, or He is not willing they should be. But to will that they should be is to decree them.

It's from his Miscelleanous Observations Concerning the Divine Decrees in General and Election in Particular.
