“It’s nonsensical. If God is sovereign, nothing can thwart His divine, perfect and just will, ordained from before the foundation of the world.”

If God is sovereign, and He gives us choice, then nothing can stop us from receiving that choice, and exercising it for our good or ill.

To say this is about the sovereignty of God is to be ignorant of what we disagree on.

Really? Tell that to Arthur Pink who wrote the book, "The Sovereignty of God" which is primarily about predestination and election.

If a person understands that God is sovereign over whom He calls to be numbered among His family then life becomes much clearer and Scripture more knowable.

If God merely waits around to see whether or not men accept Him, do you not wonder why He gave you a life that brought you to Him and yet deprived others of that same kind of life?

The argument a Calvinist has with an Arminian is the same argument a Christian has with an atheist --

WHY I BELIEVE IN GOD
by Cornelius Van Til

I've given you lots of links, but I'm not sure you've ever read any of them. Maybe you could find some time to read this one.

God willing.
