    Why bother to pray for the unsaved, praying that God will save them when (1) He can't, it's their choise or (2) it will mean God has to interfere with their choises to not believe?

    We pray because God wants us to, commands us to.

    We're not fatalists, and we're not puppets, as I said earlier "although God ordained things they (or a lot anyway) happen as a result of our will". So what God says pray we do (or we don't), which God ordained all along anyway. But if God says "pray" and we don't we're responsible for that and will be held so.

    That entire post is one of the most ridiculous, twisted things I have ever heard.

    And then to lay it off on God...

    Here are the words of our Lord...


    Luke 13:34 (YLT)
    'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto her, how often did I will to gather together thy children, as a hen her brood under the wings, and ye did not will.
    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)

    I don't think you understand "ordained" TT. If God has ordained co-dependant things then those co-dependant things will happen.

    Can it stop God's will being done in that specific incident
    You mean, perhaps, like Jonah?

    or like Israel who were supposed to enter the promised land early after leaving Egypt and it took 40 years and millions died without making it into Canaan.

    Gods ordained destiny was not fulfilled by millions

    It happened exactly as it was ordained TT.

    "These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come" (1Cor 10:11).

    Paul didn't say that these things happened and so can be used as an example for us but that they happened and were recorded so that we would have the examples, the warnings. God put Israel (the millions of them) through the desert experience for us, for you, so that we, you, could look back at what happened and learn from it.

    When are you going to quit pretending that anyone here doesn't believe in prevenient grace ? You sound like a machine that grinds out anti-Arminian stuff like in that meme you posted about "man's sovereignty", pitting Calvinism against a belief that hardly exists.

    He isn't referring to what they did as if God made them do it, he is referring to the acts of judgement that came upon them, which was a reaction to what they themselves decided to do.

    Which one, I've found four versions so far and who knows, you may come up with yet another.
