Not my point, just reiterating it, but glad to see it is posted again.

Should be posted again and again!

“”I think it’s inherently bad and imprudent theology to speculate on “what God would have done had [other conditions occurred]”. We don’t know what God would have done. God hasn’t revealed to us what he would have done, and that’s the only way we could know””

You will notice that the "what would God have done if the Blessed Virgin Mary had refused" crowd never seem to wonder things like:

- What if in the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus Christ and His Father had determined that the cup could pass and we could just remain unsaved?
- What if the crowd had chosen Christ and let Barabbas be crucified?
- What if nobody had ever gone to his Tomb and discovered the Resurrection?

What if games make no sense because, as has been pointed out, we don't know what God would have done and it doesn't matter in any even because the "what if" NEVER HAPPENED.
