I can't see the theology leading to any other conclusion about God, as I said.

I do think, however, I am finally seeing how you get there given the underlying assumption of Sola Scriptura. I understand that other adherents arrive at different conclusions, but I'm beginning to see how it would lead to predestination in particular.

What confuses me is that they talk of sinners as if they have a choice in sin. Even more befuddling is when they begin to speak of the "guilt" for the sin they had no choice to reject. With such mindset, Judas becomes an "obedient servant" of God, and we begin to see parallels with Gnosticism here.
