Great post.  I have moved away from Arminianism to a much greater degree as I have grown in Christ.  My current position is that indeed death came upon all men through Adam's fall.  It wasn't so much God blaming us for Adam's lack of faith in Him as it was that when Adam sinned he became a man of pure flesh and thus had children of pure flesh.  As Jesus said, "that which is born of flesh is flesh."

Paul wrote to the church at Corinth, "The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.    This kind would mean that we would have no hope except that God lights every man that enters this world.  Thus, I believe, through the Holy Spirit He quickens us (Eph 2) so that we can exercise a free-will choice as to whether to accept so great a salvation or not.

Jesus describes the basis of the verdict as, This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.  It is interesting that it is not our behaviour, sins, or deeds that the verdict is based on.  Certainly these will be reflected by our relationship to Christ, but they are not the basis of Judgement.

Anyway, I could be wrong. Thanks for the great post.

Good evening Grace_Accepted and NO you are not wrong!
