God requires man to HUMBLE THEMSELVES

Since that determination preceeded any choice they ever made, then that determination is fatalistic.

The Cross was predetermined to happen but Christ could choose to lay his life down (John 10:18). That falls in line with the fact that we do not believe in a fatalistic elect/non-elect caste system.
LOL, sorry, you don't get to have it both ways. According to you the cross was fated and involved no choice by Christ
 
So is "no one seeks after God", and we are born "children of wrath" and so on.
You ran from this

It's called scripture

Why do you not believe it

First let me note you ignored the verse that states Ahab humbled himself

1 Kings 21:29 (KJV 1900) — 29 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house.

All these were declared Righteous, just, pleased God, worshipped God

Psalm 9:10 (KJV 1900) — 10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: For thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
 
Your the one that claims determinism is fatalism, not I sir. If your correct the cross is fatalistic and Christ had no choice.
I said "that determination", the one that you promote based on your calvinistic elect/non-elect caste system, is a fatalistic deterministic system. Try to keep up with the conversation.

Carry on with your Bible verse loathing attitude concerning John 10:18 and the rest of the Bible for that matter.
 
Sorry, but it's not.

No He didn't. It was planned and determined by God. According to you it was His fate. His choice irrelevant it would not matter what He chose.
Are you saying Christ did not voluntarily go to the cross?

I am sorry but it is

If there is but one option determined before the foundation of the earth that is clearly fatalistic
 
No it was determined for them before the foundation of the world
Exactly! That's what I told him also. Since that determination preceeded any choice they ever made, then that determination is fatalistic. Facts go in one of his ears and out the other.
 
And you do not wish to live by your own ignorant rhetoric. If determinism is fatalism then the cross is fatalistic. Christ had no choice. It was His fate.
Your problem is the event was determined but Christ voluntarily went to the cross
