What's with you? You have your finger stuck on the Bible word search for "plan?"
God has a plan, and His plan IS ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED! You don't think He is "traveling" with us in time, do you? How we get there only affects us, and God has infinite options how we get there.
The final destination of His plan is known: heaven or hell. God gave us a ticket. He did His part in our destination. Where we end up is up to us: we can cooperate with God and be saved or we can refuse His love and be damned. God CAN steer us in the right direction if we repent, that much is clear.
For us to repent we must make a choice; for such a choice to be meaningful, it must be free.
To your detriment, I don't think you will ever understand that freedom is the ultimate gift of love. God is a loving relationship of three Divine Persons of one Essence, a perfect harmony. God is one, but He is not alone! For us to be God-like, for us not to be burned by His love, but purified and sanctified, we must emulate that relationship, by loving God first and foremost and others as ourselves. Love cannot be of any kind; love can only be free. Open your heart and you will be free.
Nonsense. I held the Arminian view for over 30 years. I understand perfectly well the “God loves us and wants the best for us” concept. Election, predestination, hell, and God’ wrath, jealousy, and anger are never talked about. God’s goodness, mercy, love are stress. God loves everyone. The trouble is the Bible doesn’t support it. It’s a manmade doctrine designed to fashion God into the image we would like. We might as well throw gold into the fire and say, “Here is your God who delivered you out of Egypt.”
It didn’t take me long to change when I discovered my error. I only had to reread the Bible and look at the history. I’ll stay on this side of the fence. Believe me, on this side of the fence I find more love from God than I ever found on the other side and I’m secure knowing God is in control-not me.
