Can you name anyone elect? Name one living soul on earth holier than you?
Well if you claim not to know how can you be sure anyone is vessel for destruction?
John 13
34“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35“By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
1 John 3
10By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.
2 John 1
4I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received commandment to do from the Father. 5Now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. 6And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
7For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward. 9Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. 10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting; 11for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.
If a stranger , a child asked does God love them? There is only one group of people who going to shrug and not know.
If God gives a universal command to NOT SIN, There is only one group of people who don't know what God wants for everyone.

What is a portrayed is evil God. which you would never call evil. all he is Good because he is God.
God can ordain the rape of a child for his glory. hey its for his glory, the glory of God is that EVIL or GOOD?
The Emperor has no Clothes.
Worship the wrong idea of sovereignty rather than who God actually is.
James 4
5Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose: “He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us”? 6But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.”
Or is it gives humility to the graced?
"Sure. I am one of the elect."
Hows that work when you think you are the only holy one alive on earth? You can't name a single person better than you.
Scripture says you can tell who is christian or not. Calvinist tradition introduces adjectives to distort plain words. So then Christians become fake Christians or professed Christians, Its not like the authors didn't already have words for those things.
All I'm asking is for a little common sense here. When God wants to provoke Jews to jealously why bother if a internal change has to happen
Luke 19
41When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it,
God is crying because the folks he forced to be evil? He is crying over the reprobates he doesn't love anyway?
"What are you talking about?"
When God COMMANDS something does it not express what he wants!?
Does not the COMMAND of GOD give you a hint of his want and desires? -

Anyway your point is just not true. The Huguenots were once about 48% of the population of France, before the religious wars wiped tyhem out, and they were Calvinists. Far more than Graham ever reached. And that is just one country. -

The greatest imo are the ones who reached the most people with the gospel. N0 one else has even reached even half as many as Billy Graham. -
You may have over exaggerated the population of Huguenots in France they only made up 10% of Frances population.

You're sort of like the pot calling the kettle black. When you become spotless then you may be able to judge pthers. Right now your judgement is meaningless.
