    I guess I have gotten used to Fkowers talking points.

    I would summarize his points as this:
    - Gods hardening of hearts in some bible instances should not be taken as a standard routine operation for all.

    - He can use mans evil intention towards its natural result (e.g., drug dealer) to carry out particular purposes (e.g. The Crucifixion).

    - Gods hardening of hearts (e.g., Pharoah) has a wider scope, where mans self-hardening comes first. God can use this momentum of disobedience to give them over to an increased depravity.

    In general law hardens sinful hearts while grace and God's goodness leads them to repentance. Pharaoh had law issued to him "do this which your heart does not want to do or else" and it hardened him. The law is good and holy but it has no ability to impart life.
