The problem is that the second quote is wrenched rather violently from context. My guess would be that it forms part of a larger discussion on the prescriptive and decretive wills of God, something difficult to grasp and which many just reject outright.

Ultimately, the OPC is in lockstep with Dordt, and, properly understood, the two quotes are not exclusive.

Great question though! I hope it doesn't devolve into another "High Calvinist"/"Particular Baptist" bloodbath.
