Yes, God wonderfully USED the evil acts of Joseph's brothers in order to save his people from famine. However, the text doesn't say anywhere that God CAUSED the sinful actions of Joseph's brothers. The brothers could have chosen that which was right, and God would have provided another way of sending Joseph into Egypt.

Open theism is heresy. Your god is a reactive god. The God of scripture is a proactive God.

Exo 4:21 And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go. (KJV)

Accordingly, Pharaoh could have chosen to do good, despite the Word of God saying otherwise.


God bless,
