Given that God has absolute foreknowledge, it is impossible to deny that God chooses winners.
I have no problem with it.

It's impossible to sustain that claim. God does not choose winners; he chooses losers - Paul tells us to adopt as our own slogan "God saves sinners, of whom I am the worst" - and makes them winners. But he does
not pick "winners."
This is another example of the danger of the attempt to adopt colloquial theology. Its hard to do so and stay orthodox. Only C.S. Lewis, J. Budziszewsk, and Lauren Winner have ever pulled it off in my experience.

You know we've had a relative truce between the neeners and the GRPLs lately. This thread appears to have fractured that truce.
