“God will handle it”#
Yes. Through you.
The formal axioms on this site take your faith seriously — more seriously, perhaps, than the common reading of “God will handle it” does.
Axiom ax15 (Human Genuine Agency): Humans possess real capacity to choose among alternatives. Deuteronomy 30:19: “I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life.”
Axiom ax16 (Delegation of Dominion): God delegated governance authority to humans. Genesis 1:28. Quran 2:30 (khalifah). They are the primary responsible agents.
Axiom ax17 (Non-Coercive Guidance): God offers guidance but does not coerce human choices.
Read these together and a picture emerges that is both comforting and terrifying: God delegated. God guides. God does not coerce. If humanity chooses self-destruction, God will not override that choice. That is what delegation means.
“God will handle it” is true — but God’s way of handling it is to call someone to act. Moses. Jonah. Esther. In every case, God’s “handling” required a human being to say yes.
The question is not whether God cares. The question is whether anyone will respond to the call. Prayer without action is an OK self-assessment dressed in religious language — “everything is fine because God is in charge.” The formal models show what OK self-assessment produces: the BABL cascade.
Prayer WITH action is the NOT-OK position: “I don’t know if what I’m doing is enough, but I will keep acting and keep asking God to correct my course.” That is the posture the Jubilee System is built on.
