Case: A sinner first claims to have had no choice, then says forgiveness is impossible. Another person is so confident in personal faith that the possibility of punishment no longer concerns them.
Absolute compulsion denies accountable human choice; an extreme opposing claim makes the servant an independent creator. Presumptuous safety ignores accountability; despair denies hope in mercy.
The sound approach retains responsibility, repentance, effort, reverent fear and hope. Doctrinal accuracy and moral reform support each other.
