Okay, so this is not exactly a tweet, but it’s close. It is hard to communicate anything of consequence given Twitter's limitation of 140 characters, so we’ll expand that limit to 140 words.

As I was listening to a lecture on the will, there was one verse cited that provoked some reflection concerning human freedom. When Jesus commanded "Lazarus, come out," (John 11:43) could Lazarus have done otherwise? For the Arminian who gravitates towards the libertarian view of the will, that is, the idea that a moral agent must always be able to choose to the contrary in any given situation, he must answer in the affirmative—Lazarus could have resisted the command of Christ. But think, for just a moment, what this means to the Arminian. Consider how this view is not only an abomination to the character of God, it relegates Christ’s will subservient to the will of man. To say Lazarus could have chosen to remain in the tomb is to strip God of His sovereignty—all to protect "free-will".
