So your question is really, are they ones whom God chose, or are they the ones who chose to do so on their own?

No the Reformed do NOT have God creating man in a fallen state. God did not directly create any man except for Adam. Men are created by procreation, a process which God instituted, but men reproduce after their own kind, i.e. fallen. If God created you directly, show us the mud pit you came...

Presumption is a sin. There has been a deliberate ignoring of what others have said, all to drive an agenda. Hence all the circular questions, and repetition of questions that have been answered many times, although not to your liking. Admit it you don't like Calvinism.

I'm just quoting scriptures relevant to some who post here, who try to bully those who disagree with them. Does Scripture offend you? No one is excusing such behavior. But only a fool would claim that it doesn't happen. Even you have done it. The hidden implication is that you obviously...

(Pro 3:30) Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm. (Pro 4:24) Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. Pro 6:16-19 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: (17) A proud look, a lying tongue, and...

Contending for the Truth and being contentious are two very different things. There are some here who mistake one for the other. I will not participate in such foolishness.

(Rom 2:8) But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

(Pro 26:21) As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a contentious man for kindling strife. (Rom 2:8) But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Contentiousness and argumentativeness is not a fruit of the Spirit...

No they do that because they love Jesus. I'm not attacking you, I'm attacking your false doctrine. One of the manifestations of that is your low opinion of anyone who doesn't buy your doctrine hook, line, and sinker.

"(Act 2:23) this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men." God DID willingly predetermine His Son's Death and Suffering. You say that if that is so, then the Bible's not perfect. Wanna revise (and...

I believe I already did....

No, that is your assumption. They have the right to not answer, if in their minds, there's no point. You apparently claim to know the thoughts and intents of other peoples' hearts. I can categorically say that you don't. No. Mostly because you demand it, and I don't respond to demands...

When a series of questions begins to look more like an attempt to discredit another view with no real substance to the one attempting it, many of us rightly discern that there is no real desire to learn, but just an ongoing agenda to argue, no matter what is said in reply. At that point, many...

That sounds more like someone who just realized that the bar is much higher that they thought. If you want to truly discuss a subject, you cannot start off with hard and fast "you cant convince me otherwise" assumptions. If you want to know what we believe, then you can't complain that "we...

Perhaps you are not taking into account the way you're asking, the conclusions you draw prematurely, and that simple fact that in a forum such as this, there are many self-important people who will generate enough noise to sidetrack discussions that they have decided they cannot abide people...
