Hello? Isn't God sovereign? It isn't that God made a person "knowing" that he would not accept Christ. It's that God created this person specifically designed to not accept Christ.

You are evading the question. There is no difference between my stance and the stance of the Free-Will advocate who will also grant that God has Perfect Omniscience.

The difference is in the offer of grace and the individual's culpability for how he deals with it. It is a completely different conception of God between one who offers everyone all the grace sufficient for salvation and one who only offers such grace to those whom He chooses.

In the first case, damnation is the individual's fault for failing to respond to God. In the second, damnation is a natural result of how the person was created.
