For man to have his own will and freedom of choice. Then why don't you say thy will be done? This isn't something as you say that fits into my little paradigm. There is NO WAY that Scripture teaches universal atonement squeak because Scripture teaches a place of everlasting punishment. Of course grace is is over works for salvation but this grace is for those who receive it. To them that God has in His foreknowledge.

I agree with you in the we have no part in our salvation it is by the grace of God. Here is how the grace of God is shown.

Rom 9:13-21
13 Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!
15 For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
16 It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."
18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.
19 One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will?"
20 But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?'"
21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use? (NIV)

That's it in a nutshell squeak. God has a plan and pupose and we can't thwart the plan and purpose of God. We can only come to Him in repentance.
