The 8 on Noah's Ark represents less than 0.00000544% of the population. To think that you, me, or any of us would have believed God's message to Noah and been on the Ark despite 99.99999456% not believing him is foolish. Adam walked with God in the cool of the day and did not have a sin nature and was in a utopia, yet failed to believe God; To think people today without a lick of Hebrew or Greek or 1000 days of witnessing Jesus like Judas are going to make a better choice than Judas or those with the Pharisees who had more than Ph.D's in God's OT Word is also foolish.
To think Lucifier rebelled before he had any subsequent sin in himself and in the presence of God and of angels, but we are going to make a better decision before regeneration is also unfounded. Do you think the Incas, Mayans, Aztecs who died without a single syllable of Scripture are going to make a better choice than Judas.
If so, that makes evangelism entirely pointless because if God has done "all that He can" to give everyone equal opportunity then there is literally nothing we can do as evangelists to "increase" the power of one's free-will. At that rate the Damascus Road effort by God may have failed and Saul said "no", and thus God should offer Pilate, Herod, Putin, Hitler the exact same "Damascus Road" encounter.
If Moses could turn down the burning bush, then why not offer a Literal burning bush to every U.S. Senator, Governor, Mayor, citizen; Jesus could have just told Pilate on trial, "I'll raise up 12 men from the dead until you are convinced. I'm trying my hardest to provide all the evidence I can to get you to believe, I'll even show you the Transfiguration"
If Mary used her free-will to abort Jesus, then God will have to just think of Plan B until His intention aligns with the free-will decisions of everyone involved. Faith always lead to obedience and without obedience Mary would have not spared Jesus' life. At that point salvation all hinges upon the obedience of sinners to the offer of God; and each author of Scripture could have used their free-will to write errant words in the Bible, or decline to even write the Bible; no book of John ever written unless John grants God compliance to pen John. In all of that the Holy Spirit is just a powerless salesman, "This free car is great, want one? No? Ah, shucks, maybe Peter can persuade you better than I can."
I'm not attacking you the advocate of free-will, it's the theology of free-will that I am attacking. Free-will is fraught with many problems. So, God loved Goliath and gave Goliath the SAME grace that He gave Peter, but then God's love and grace did not make the eternal difference, Peter's response made him to differ from Goliath, thus all the credit has to go to Peter, for Goliath got the exact same treatment of God's love and grace as Peter but still died in unbelief, despite Goliath not spending over 1000 days face to face with Jesus.
