More than a few Christians have a strong aversion to neo-Calvinist determinism. They don’t agree with the teaching that
God micromanages the universe, controlling and pre-arranging everything that
happens within it, including the choices made by all created beings.
I don’t blame them. I don’t like that idea much either, and I don’t think it’s an accurate representation
of what the Bible teaches about either God’s sovereignty or human choice. Giving
us a Bible full of commands seems an unlikely thing for God to have done if our
responses to him are all predetermined.
