Notice how you selectively choose words to deny the full implications of Calvinism. "What God has designed comes to pass exactly as he purposed it."
Sure it does! Amen! God can do what he wants, no arminian disagrees. But, that's not what your theology says. It doesn't stop there, but says God purposed everything by his decree. Not just that what God decides to do comes to pass, that's obvious. God decides to create and he does. He decides to destroy almost everyone in a flood and he does in response to their wickedness, which he did not purpose and in fact, he says he regrets creating them because of their actions. In the same way, he says that when his people sacrificed their children to idols, it never entered his mind that they would do such a thing.
Jeremiah 19:4 They have burned incense in it to other gods that neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah have ever known. They have filled this place with the blood of the innocent. 5They have built high places to Baal on which to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal— something I never commanded or mentioned, nor did it ever enter My mind.
God is not the god of determinism. He's not Aristotle's unmoved mover.
Your appologetics is for dead men,,,,,, when it should be for Christ.
