Is the mortal’s choice inside or outside of God’s will?

and I repeat that that question itself is wrong. Is it God's will that we have a choice? I say yes. Does the use of this choice -- either way -- affect God's will? No. God's will is that we have a choice.

You are asking if God's will is challenged if you or I reject God's grace. I say, no, God's will is NOT challenged or denigrated or lessened by our choice. God's PLAN is also unaffected by your or my free will choice.

“You are asking if God’s will is challenged if you or I reject God’s grace.”

I am asking if the choice for Christ is inside or outside of God’s will. This is not a compound question that presumes anything like, “Have you stopped beating your wife yet?”

The predicates are established: We have established that there is something that is called a choice. Mortals make the choice. One element only needs to be addressed.

Is that mortal’s choice within or without God’s will?
