So I understand you, you are answering this as a "Synergist"..... IE, you are stating that divine sovereignty must somehow be accommodated to human capability. Therefore both election & reprobation are not divine decrees; they are based on human choices. The efficacy of atonement does not rest on Christ's saving work alone but on the sinners faith & repentance.

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: -

The Calvinist view and Non-Calvinist view of God could not be more different. -

This is why I said a Calvinist believes God works so alone in salvation that no one else is there, including a sinner. :rolleyes:
But you will allow a sinner to be involved at least as much as he is being saved won't you? :laugh: -

Jam 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
This verse doesn't say we "were" made after the similitude of God, it says we "are" made after the similitude of God. That is present tense, NOW.
How does that verse fit with Original Sin? :rolleyes:
And this verse is teaching that it is evil and a sin to speak evil about men.
You have to read all the scriptures, not just some.
