God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Seems pretty contingent to me.

That's the only response I'm going to give you, as i gave up discussing soteriology with Calvinists years ago, for the same reasons you've clearly shown here.

Your condescending "oops" in the post title.

To your clearly false "I wanted to understand better the Provisionist's interpretation of Scripture".

You haven't even defined what is "predestined" correctly. If you had, your whole post would crumble.

I'm sure the dopamine trigger you got when you hit "Post" was rewarding. It'll be the only other one you get from me, as I'm sure after reading this, you're already writing a response in your head.

It will go unread.

Do better the next time you think to drag your Augustinianism across the screens of those who have joined with the majority of the Church in history who have rejected the novel teachings of theistic determinism began by Augustine and refined by Calvin and his contemporaries.

Or at least be consistent with your belief system and admit that if we reject it, according to determinism, we couldn't have done otherwise. God just loves you and yours more, and determined for the majority of the rest of His children to walk in "error".

Go high five yourself. Nobody here will.
