Nonsense.

I am still responsible for my actions.

Though my actions fall into God's plan, it isn't like I am a robot doing whatever he commands.

God doesn't command me to sin. I do that myself. I am responsible.

Perhaps you should read what you are posting.

God always accomplishes his will.

Isaiah 45:6-7: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Lamentations 3:37: Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?

**************************

The Lord commands all things and He is the creator of evil (sin). That's what you posted, by cherrypicking Bible verses without wisdom.

You can't wash your hands of your involvement in salvation, declare God to be the absolute commander of all things and the creator of evil and then turn around and claim that God "doesn't command" you to sin and that you bear responsibility for your actions.

Pick one or the other.

"God doesn't command me to sin. I do that myself. I am responsible."

If man is completely devoid of the ability to choose the things of God on his own without God's help, then God is responsible.

I don't believe that, of course, but then, I'm not a Calvinist.
