"You would not ask any thinking person to nod their head to such logic."

I would not ask any thinking person to take predestination to its logical conclusion. Doing so would lead to an assertion that God is the author of evil and the director of all human misdeeds and sin. The Christian God is infinitely perfect, the author of evil and sin is not.

Perhaps your organization may wish to revisit the image they have concocted of a god. It evidently doesn't align with the God described in the Scriptures delivered by the God of Israel.

Is. 45:6,7 I am the Lord, and there is no other; besides Me there is no God. I will gird you, though YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN ME; that men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun that there is no one besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other, Causing well-being (goodness) and creating calamity (evil); I am the Lord who does all these.

How He does it without being guilty, I leave to Him. I am not fit to judge Him insofar as He is the measure of all things. But, reread the evidence, my FRiend...He is the author of all that is. There is nothing apart from Him.
