Interesting comprehension of 'predestination'. Has God predestined ALL things before the foundation of the world ( Classic Calvinism) or not ? I am puzzled with the 'default position'. Surely this is predestination by God. Or are you claiming man as a whole freely chose this position ?Your right, you don't get it. You once again build a false straw man even though it has been corrected more times than I can count. God does not need to predestine who will spend eternity in Hell for that is the default position of all of Adam's race. We all deserve Hell and damnation, the saved and the lost alike.
Good description of double predestination - God predestining man to hell before man is born. You say "no one can change". So the poor soul born in the 'default' hell bound condition cannot, as predestined by God ( you say) do anything about it.The Calvinist position is that He predestined an innumerable company that are more than the stars of the sky and the sand of the sea to be the objects of His wondrous love, mercy and grace. And it is true that what God has determined to do no one can change. Read the Scriptures.
No straw man. No dishonesty ( which you claim God predestines anyway).For you to continue to use this straw man shows a blatant dishonesty and willingness to portray the theology you oppose in a dishonest manner knowing it is dishonest.
Waste of time though if God has predestined them before the foundation of the world not to be elect. You are also accusing God of predestining you to pray for something God has predestined not to happen. So it is not the Arminian seeking to do any twisting.The prayer is a cry from the heart that seeks that God will be gracious to loved ones and it isn't at all against the Calvinist theology. As I explained before and you obviously ignored, The Calvinist can pray that prayer seeking for it to be God's will that their loved one are of the elect and hope in His promise to save. The Arminian seeks to twist God's arm and get Him to do something that He may not intend to do.
If the Arminian was truly seeking this then this is because (according to you) God predestined the Arminian to twist.
Your diatribe is not just INCONSISTENT. Add Total Hypocrisy. Add Dishonest Allegation (the Arminian is seeking..).
Shame on you.
