There are a number of Scriptural verses that support free choice. See my tagline, for example.
Free will, as the Arminian defines it, is not scriptural and not supported with scripture.
No one here is defining free will as the Arminian defines it.
As much as we would like to think so, the clay cannot tell the potter what kind of pot he wants to become.
God, since He sees into ALL time, can see our response to His graces. Thus, He is able to take our free will decision into account when forming us. God is not subject to time. God doesn't wake up one day, think about making a HarleyD in 4000 BC, then waits, then makes you, whether of the elect or not, without seeing what you will become.
Either I'm absolutely correct or I'm a heretic.
It depends on what you mean by "ordain" and to what respect God ordains things. I don't think a non-Calvinist would say God ordains evil - that would make Him responsible for evil. Has any Christian ever said that before the heretic Calvin came along?
Nothing in the Old Testament happened except by God allowing men to run the show.
Agreed. But there is a difference between "allowing" and "actively forcing" someone to do something. God, for His own reasons, allows evil. He brings goodness out of man's misguided decisions. Again, I ask you to beware of looking at "God ordaining evil" only from the OT.

"You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you." John 15:16
"Therefore," says the Pelagian, "He foreknew who would be holy and immaculate by the choice of free will, and on that account elected them before the foundation of the world in that same foreknowledge of His in which He foreknew that they would be such. Therefore He elected them," says he, "before they existed, predestinating them to be children whom He foreknew to be holy and immaculate. - Augustine
I know. Augustine was wrong. I guess that makes the Pelagian right.
