Illogical conclusions on sin...

I don't know, or fully understand what caused certain theologians, church fathers and scholars to take some of the illogical stances that they did on sin, but I am certainly at opposition with some of the most famous of these men, including Saint Augustine.

Augustine's concept of irresistible grace, and John Calvin's adoption of such utterly bewilders me. I find it totally illogical. I believe that God has predestined everyone that will call upon His name to eternal salvation, but I can never accept that this predestination so dominates the human will that such grace could be considered irresistible. I simply can't accept God being in the robot business. The only thing that pleases God at all in accordance with what I have repeatedly encountered in the scripture is our responding to Him in love, by our own free will, which is enlightened by the Spirit of God, and most assuredly aided by grace, but such grace does not carry us on some unavoidable path to eternal bliss, nor does such grace deny the obvious fact that we have a free will, even if it is a free will stained with the corrupt inclinations of "original sin."
