    you have infinite wisdom and knowledge as He does to "pull all of this off?"

    Are ANY choices/decisions ever done that either he did not cause to ne made, or else permitted it to have happened that way?

    Is there anything done outside of his absolute knowledge or control?

    Has sufficiently answered to your satisfaction. And why should they? I do not ask Arminians to answer to my satisfaction. Why? Because I already know what they believe. You have claimed to be a former Calvinist. If that is true then you already know the answer, which makes this thread unnecessary.

    Obviously.

    Because this is a debate board where we debate such matters. You have the FREEDOM to answer the question or ignore it....or do you? ;)

    So why are you here, since apparently you already have arrived at all knowledge of all the various views and approaches to all these complex matters of soteriology? Every argument you make against "Arminianism" is a point that hasn't been answered to your satisfaction and acceptance, otherwise you'd agree with it...thus the DEBATE. Now, you can engage that debate or continue to play with semantics...

    I rejected Calvinism, in part, because it failed to answer this question... at least to my satisfaction. Can you?

    No he didn't. He affirm the divine permissive will, not determinism. You are the one who presumes that divine permissiveness equals divine determinism, which is really just a big game of Question Begging.

    I like to discuss things other than just Arminianism vs. Calvinism; that is why I am here on the BB.

    I do not believe you are looking for a real answer; thus no one can answer to your satisfaction. That was the motivating reason behind my prior post.

    I leave you to your discussion. Have fun.
