Likewise, He has no obligation to protect us from the sin we will inevitably commit according to our nature

No, FK. Your theology teaches that God created man in order for him to commit sin and change his nature so all generations can be evil!

All people are born "wanting" to be goats

By the Reformed God's design, no doubt.

If God changed His plan, then that would admit mistake, and God would cease to be God

The God is subject to something higher than he is.

No, God makes no adjustments. Tuesday vs. Thursday refers to the original choice.

Well, in that case, God does not intervene and therefore prayers are empty rituals. They change nothing in this theology of yours. You don't even pray on your own, but because God predistined you to pray.

God willed it first and set the conditions, but He did not force me to do anything. My free will chose to sin by murder, all by itself

No, FK, it's because [the Reformed] God preodained you to do so, and it has to happen exactly as he preodained. You weren't forced, but your choices were made before you even existed!

LOL! No, that isn't what we teach, that's what you want to hear. I suppose the Apostolic God just got caught with His pants down when Adam and Eve decided to sin. :)

My DESIRE is not to do anything without God, i.e., on my own.
