This makes the most sense, at least to this Calvinist. A sovereign God's plan for our eternal salvation and justification is not subject to chance.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Quidquid Latine dictum sit, altum viditur
I've only had some experience with completely ingrown churches, but none has been very good. There's an ever-spiralling sense of exceptionalism in these churches. Westboro appears to have simply reached that point ahead of the rest.
With Calvinistic strains of exceptionalism the "T" in TULIP gets minimized more and more. It's about "them", not "us". And the end result of it is ... a kind of introduction of prevenient moral ability the likes of which Wesley wouldn't even admit to.
May God continue to humble small churches -- and save through grace in spite of our own evil.

Your statement above is deceptive.
The false doctrine of, justification from eternity, asserts that we are justified "in" eternity for it is in eternity (you falsely claim) that the elect have the righteousness of Christ imputed to them.
And therefore, and as a consequence, of Christ being their surety (upon entering the world and from their first breath) their sins are imputed to Christ.
Therefore your statement is quite duplicitous.
