Your post was on "cutting the divide" between Arminianism and Calvinism. It seemed to be a solution to the dilemma. This is not, however, a solution to the dilemma, and, honestly, there can't be one to begin with (if you're searching for a compromise, anyway).
Either the scripture teaches that salvation is all of God, or else human merit really is the deciding factor in salvation.
Let’s try this one one for size: Permission does not equate to merit.
And I believe you are saying “honestly” from a worldly perspective. Of course you cannot factor it from a worldly perspective.
