Our world is an independent little playground. Some of us end up where God wants us; others don't. It does not diminish God, it does not change what He planned -- which is to have mankind in Paradise. Not necessarily you, or me, but mankind. And our free will does not change the fact that He shall have mankind in paradise, with or without you or me.
Good summary of our respective anthropologies. Underlying it is the whole Protestant system of salvation (by imputation) rather than a theosis or divinization. I think God's design of sharing Himself with us is much more in line with God Himself - Love, rather than "sneaking" into heaven all dirty with a clean coat on...It is the re-introduction of fate. So many Christians escaped that concept during the time of the Roman Empire, only to find themselves subject to it again today.
