So predestination for you then?

I agree. It isn't God's part that fails, but ours. I believe most sins should fall under the venial category anyway; the concept of a mortal sin is that it's choosing a destructive harmful action against God's commandments and functionally saying "I choose to reject what God offers in favor of my own desires". Our God is so mighty and merciful that He still forgives us when we repent, even when we consciously choose so often to do things which hurt us and others and are against His explicit command.
