The greatest sin ever

“The greatest sin that was ever committed in the history of the world… was planned by God, namely the death of His Son.”

– John Piper, concluding remark at Wheaton College address (”Treasuring Christ and the Call to Suffer,” part 3), September 6, 2007.

  1. Does God Author Sin?
  2. Does God Cause Sin?
  3. Does God Permit Sin?
  4. The Author-Story Model

  • What is deTheos?

    The two Greek words de ("but") and Theos ("God") are the first two words of Ephesians 2:4: "But God, who is rich in mercy..." Because of God's great love and grace extending to us in Jesus Christ, we are forgiven, redeemed and able to know, love + enjoy God more fully, ever-increasing and forever.
    This site contains the thoughts and conclusions and journeys of the Patterson family -- Jeff, Kari and Dutch -- who have experienced the front-end of God's amazing grace, and continue to delight in His unfailing love.
    Read more about us, and what we hold most precious.
