Calvin was seriously mistaken in what he taught, but all five of his points that are now known as the Five Points of Calvinism were very solidly deduced from his premise that God is absolutely sovereign. The problem, of course, was that his premise was wrongon the very day that God created Adam, God surrendered to man much of His sovereignty, an act that He very greatly regretted soon afterward,* but He did not reclaim His sovereignty.
The belief that God chose those whom He loved and because He loved them not only has no Biblical support of any kind, it is expressly taught against in both the Old and the New Testaments. It is an extremely serious false doctrine, but since it is not a myth of Calvinism, it is off topic and I will not comment in this thread any further on the doctrine.
* Genesis 6:5. The Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually.
6. And the Lord was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. (NRSV)
In another thread your post was against Genisis being truth?
Now it is used as a reference, why would sosomeone quote what they deny?
