    Does he give those who have never heard the Gospel a choice to love him. It's clear that the Lord doeesn't reveal Himself to everyone -- but to certain ones. "To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

    Calvinists don't believe that. That's just the Calvinist caricature made-up from your imagination.

    "Many subjects"? I disagree with a few;not many. I'm with Spurgeon when he said that he agrees with Calvin in the main.

    Your questions show a gross ignorance of Calvinism,The Covenants, And the grace of God.
    We understand you want to be critical of what you mis-understand, but at least be accurate. You keep making comments, but fail to respond when you are answered. I think it is you cannot answer biblically.

    oh wait,let me guess.....jn.3:16

    I have never heard that interpretation before. Can you tell me anyone else who believes that?

    If you understood the position you would not have to ask this question.

    What's mindboggling is that for all the years that you have been on the BB you don't evidence any awareness of information which is readily shared from Calvinists.

    Ask Whitefield,Judson,Carey,Calvin,Edwards why they evangelized as much as they did. They were all staunch Calvinists. I could name many more.

    You don't believe in it because you STILL don't know what it is.

    You can honestly say that you never met a Calvinist before coming to the BB?

    Read the Scripture B4L. Check out Pro.16:4;Ro.9:22;Ro.11:7;1 Pe.2:8;1Pe.4:17;2Pe.2:3,12;2Pe.3:7;Jn.17:12;2Cor.11:15;1 Thess.5:9;2Thess.2:3;Jude4,13;Acts1:15 and Phil.1:28.

    Report back only if you have read and meditated on the above passages.

    No,the Lord doesn't effectually call every single individual who has,is and shall live.He has decided long ago who he will savingly call. He has the perfect right...because He is ..the LORD.

    Non-Cals like you are very strange when you don't do any homework but yet blast those who depend on the Scriptures which proclaim truths you deny.

    B4L has had no compunctions about calling my salvation in doubt in a PM.

    A better choice of words on my part would have been "enmity".

    Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

    Ok if God loves everyone the same how could he choose some and no others? Would not that imply that he loves some more then others?

    Ah, yes...the two wrongs make a right doctrine.
