God does not prevent anyone from coming to Christ.

I believe that, but you cannot believe what you believe and think this is true.

You believe the predestined will go to heaven. So do I. But you also believe those not predestined all go to hell. So by your logic God prevents all he does not predestine from coming to Christ.

Why do you insist on making this personal. I told you what I believe and my position is quite consistent.

The default road is the road to destruction. Without God's irresistible intervention into our lives to make us willing to come to him, we would all reject him. So everyone is, by default, on the road to Hell, but God saves some of us. It is not by any choice of mine that God chose to save me.

You may think that you made some voluntary choice to come to Christ, but the fact of the matter is that if you came, it was because God made you willing. He violated YOUR precious Free Will and as a result, he changed you so that you were now not only able to come to him, but willing.

Not everyone gets to that position, but you did. Was it because you were better, smarter or more holy than the guy who never got there?

You seem to be insistent that your own free will choices brought you to the foot of the Cross, but the fact of the matter is that God brought you there. You ought to be grateful because without God interfering with your precious free will, you'd still be on the road to Hell.
