Re: God is good; God is sovereign
So you don't agree with Calvin? Or do you? I am a little confused.

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Re: Arminian errors
In the 18th century you probably would not have survived long.

Re: God is good; God is sovereign
I know of no Calvinist who actually believe in what Calvin wrote. Mik Faith they weasel the words to mean what they want them to mean. Calvin's writings do not fit well in modern society. It is interesting that right in the USA have atheist ayn rand as their role model not Calvin.

Re: Enough is enough
So you don't follow what Calvin wrote. You seem to be barely a partial Calvinist. How does your head not explode holding all of these conflicting beliefs.

Yes, you seem to have made rather a hash of all those things.

Re: Jacob and Esau
God saves sinners whom He makes into Christians.
But only the ones he has predetermined would be saved. It's a rigged game. Easier to when a carny game. Your concept of a god is one of the most vile I have come across.
