Our capacity to choose or our free choices, particularly the bad ones, are obstacles that God must work around as He brings His loving purposes to fruition.

We are not free in our choices to thwart God's purpose to redeem all of His creation (the Arminan view).

To do so would be to deny that God is almighty in the sense that He is able accomplish His purpose.

In other words God has to concede the majority of humans to hell in order have enough to fill heaven. What rubbish!
