Denial of freewill is denial of reality

I think I’ve come to a very real conclusion that I’d like others to share with me.  Denial of freewill is a denial of reality. 

Understand, I am aware that many atheists (inexplicably) hold this position.

Well, if I could, I’d list a whole litany of problems with that.  So here’s a different litany, instead (https://rumble.com/vbuggt-litany-of-the-faithful-departed.html). 

How can you possibly hold the position of no freewill as a Christian?

If the view Calvinists hold were true, it would make verses like this, make no sense, “Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost; as your fathers did, so do ye.” (Acts 7:51)

Sounds like grace is pretty resistible.

Now, of course, a Calvinist could (fairly, I might add), talk about verses that which point to predestination. (Like in Romans 8:29-30)

That might work with another Protestant, but Catholics believe in predestination, (What Is Predestination?)

The issue we have is with double predestination,  (Predestinarianism) 

I think the issue with Calvinism is, 1) There’s a misunderstanding with the term “Predestination”, and, 2) Calvinists haven’t thought out logically what their views entail.

If there’s no freewill, at least according to the five point Calvinist understanding, this means, using deductive reasoning, that God wills sin. 

But you can’t really square that with the Bible, because God wills that none should perish,

“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9). 

The fact that God wills all men be saved, but that not all men will be saved, means you have a choice in your salvation. 

That’s not to say God doesn’t know what you’re going to do (God sees everything at once), not does that mean he doesn’t set you up for something before you’re born (Like in Jeremiah 1:5), but it is to say, that predestination and freewill are not in competition. 

Denial of freewill is a denial of reality.
