Everyone believes men have fee wills (in the basic sense) - Calvinists included.I can't say as I agree, Thursday. I believe that we all have free wills. That means God does not decide for us. The future is open-ended until we decide. Therefore I don't see how God could have any foreknowledge of us. Calvin did, but Calvin believed that God has predetermined everything and so there was no free will.
God did not decide for us. He merely predestined that what we decided would indeed be decided.
That's a huge difference.
The future is not open ended. God predestined the future - which includes our existence and the choices we will make during that existence.
He has foreknowledge simply because He is the one who decides what possible existences (with their choices made in life) will indeed happen.
Calvin did not believe that men do not have wills.
This has been explained many times to you and to others.
You keep throwing out the same charges over and over again and ignoring what has been explained to you over and over again.
You are either purposefully doing it or you are unable to reason logically.
I think it is the former. But God will judge that in the end.
You know though - if you will but consider it for a while.
