    Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
    2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

    God does everything only for the glory of Christ.

    Psalm 115:3 But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.

    Christian life is not sitting in a laidback manner saying, "If it's God's will He will protect me". Instead christian life is a battlefield (Ephesians 6:11: "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil").

    God makes His elect to fight the good fight of faith in this battle. Thus He fulfils His sovereign plan through our faith in Christ's work (Colossians 2:15: "And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it").

    Faith pleases God.

    Well you should never go to the doctor then. God needs help from your Doctor to bring about His sovereign will?

    Both God's word and our personal faith are given by God according to His eternal plan.
    Do you deny God's plan for human history?

    Hebrews 11:6: "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him".

    Faith is the assurance one is saved from wrath. So are you living a life without assurance of salvation?

    This is akin to if a=1 and b=2 then a+b must equal 74.

    Simply quoting some analogy doesn't mean the analogy isn't nonsense.
    You seem to assume human freewill decides human history & God is a puppet!

    Again, you are adding 1+1 and coming up with 90.
    Strawmen are not well tolerated here.
