So that he may judge every evil deed, How else could God demonstrate that he judges and punishes the wicked had he first not appointed the wicked to commit their sins?

You clearly do not understand the works of God, as even Jesus Christ was appointed to suffer by the will of God, And even the elect are appointed to suffer, So why should it come as a surprise that if sufferings are appointed by God, that he would not also appoint infirmities to test the elect? As I said, no one who doesn't understand that God determines all things to occur can possibly understand God.

If God has made the mute, the deaf, the blind, Why should you not think that God did not determine your infirmity to occur? Was Job, who was blameless before God, not also struck with disease, Yet still, Job blessed the name of the Lord, because he knew, that just as God brings forth good, does he also bring forth evil, Yet God brings forth evil on the elect to test and see if the elect will still bless his name, even in adversity. And also, God did predetermine for men to sin, as you have mentioned in your prior sins in the occult, for how could God have demonstrated his forgiveness if God had first not predetermined sins to occur to then forgive?

Both are true, God predestines and God predetermines.

All men do have a choice, but what a man chooses is determined by God. Creation is made for the glory of God, and he does whatever he wants with it, and he has mercy on whom he has mercy, and compassion on whom he has compassion,

There is no free will as that is a false teaching taught by men. Although man has a will, whatever choices a man makes, were appointed by God to be made. So whether you decide to run left, or you decide to run right, it was because God first determined for you to do so. These scriptures teach exactly what they teach concerning predestination, and you either believe the scriptures concerning this, or you do not. This is why the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, for when you come to understand that all things happen by his determination, can you then fear God and begin to attain actual wisdom. No man that does not understand predestination can have understanding of God.

Yet is it God that determines how the coin will fall,

All things, whether good or evil, are determined by God to happen, hence, Even the outcome of the roll of a dice is determined by God, Hence why the apostles cast lots to choose who the twelfth apostle would be to replace Judas, Even every decision of man is determined by God, as he is the one that controls the hearts of man, whether he draws them forth towards him, or whether he pushes them away from him, hence, Even all who have disease are determined to be so by God, Even sinners are determined by God to be sinners, As such, the purpose God has appointed sinners to exist is so that he may demonstrate his wrath and make known his power and judgments, And just as God hardens the hearts of man, so did he also harden the heart of Pharaoh, so that because of Pharaoh's refusal to let the sons of Israel go, God may then demonstrate his power by bringing forth terrible plagues against Egypt, In which case God also hardens the hearts of man to this day, so that because of all those whom he has hardened on the earth, he may one day demonstrate his great power upon the entire earth by bringing forth terrible judgments, to even cause the entire earth to quake at his presence, Along with other judgments he will bring forth upon the earth, all to demonstrate his great power, and to also eventually reduce all the wicked to mere ashes, And on the other hand, he has also appointed sinners to exist so that he may demonstrate his mercy, And also demonstrate his love, And as such, even those who God has appointed to be blind, or mute, or dear, are appointed to be so that God may demonstrate his power to heal, And so, whoever God demonstrates his mercy and love to is whoever he chooses to be his, And as such, all who are chosen by God have also been predestined to be his from before the foundation of the world, And just as God has chosen who will be his, he has also chosen who will not be his, which is why it is not whether a man runs or not that determines if he will be saved, but it is whomever God decides to show mercy to, And as such, whoever comes to repentance does so because of the kindness of God,
