Let me make it as clear as HUMANLY possible.
No one can thwart God’s will. No one is capable of defeating God, nor can they make God do what he doesn’t want. No one can lead God, confuse God, or do something outside of God’s will. If God chooses someone to be one of his adopted children, then no, they cannot go against God’s will. They cannot deny God. You cannot reject God if he calls you.

Clear enough?

Yes, if I take your reply to mean that your definition of free will excludes whether to accept or reject God.

That what I wished clarified and it does in clear terms define the difference in our beliefs about God and man and free will.

I believe God is sovereign AND he has endowed man with free will. It is not thwarting God's will for us to exercise our God-given free will. Including the free will decision to accept or reject Him.

True; but is He a MICRO-manager or a MACRO-manager?
