Tom,

It's better to be called stupid and hold to the doctrines of grace than to be called wise according to the foolishness of Arminianism.

It always comes down to God's sovereignty in all things or man's ability to hold God at bay until he decides for himself by his own free will.

I Corinthians 3:18-20

"Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness"; and again, "The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."
