I'm not sure I can buy God letting us run our own destinies, at least in the sense that it would interfere with His plan

God is not competing with us. We can run our own destinies without affecting His plan. Take, for instance, our earth. We do pretty much what we want on it, and none of it changes the direction in which the earth moves, or the direction of its rotation. The earth acts as if we are not even on it – it's taking us through space where it is going whether we want to cooperate or not, and is going to take us to its destination whether we will it or not. The only thing our will affects is ourselves and those around us. We have until the last breath to come to God and be saved spiritually.

God did all the work for us, and the Protestants would have Him make up everyone's mind as well!

Well then why bother to pray for anything since we run the shot? God can go about His business and we can go about our. This is Open Theism.

See tagline. The Bible states it-not Protestants.
