I say in our unregenerated heart we are all Jeffery Dahmer and we are all Hitler...The difference is the restraing force of Gods grace...

Noah, Abraham and Moses were all potential Hitlers except for the restraining force of God's grace? If we can only choose evil, except for God's intervention holding us back, then why doesn't God give everyone sufficient grace to restrain their evil impulses?

The problem is, if we have no free will, then we cannot justly be held responsible for our sins. If God has absolute sovereignty even over our moral choices, then ultimately God is responsible for the evil done by His automata.

Do you believe that we have free will?

It works both ways too. If we are predestined to be God's child, is our love genuine? What kind of love is love that was not given the choise to love or reject?
