[Yet, these blogs have not explored the implications of this insight.

Consider how the contrast between the actualities of grace and self-destruction are reflected in familiar questions about grace:]

Is grace necessary?

If so, how is it distributed?

Are some destined to receive grace?

Are some destined to never receive grace?

Schoonenberg answered that nobody is excluded a priori from grace. Even pagans receive grace.

[Does that also imply that nobody is a priori excluded from self-destruction?

In fact, one can substitute the term ‘self-destruction’ for ‘grace’ in the preceding questions.]
