This.
I proved that was true.
I posted a Calvinist source that proved it.
Of course it is calvinism. You decided to ignore vast majority of calvinistic sources.That’s not Calvinism. But again, I’ll be more than willing to see your arguments.
No, you didn’t.
Do you understand the context of that statement?Of course it is calvinism. You decided to ignore vast majority of calvinistic sources.
"We also condemn the Pelagians who assert that an evil man has sufficient free will to do the good that is commanded."
THE SECOND HELVETIC CONFESSION
Where does that say “Calvinists believe God creates men with no opportunity for salvation“?Read it again:
Unconditional Election:
God does not base His election on anything He sees in the individual. He chooses the elect according to the kind intention of His will (Eph. 1:4-8; Rom. 9:11) without any consideration of merit within the individual. Nor does God look into the future to see who would pick Him. Also, as some are elected into salvation, others are not.
Do you deny that this is Calvinist doctrine?
I am sure you will gladly explain how it says something different than it says.Do you understand the context of that statement?
Sure. Man has free choice.I am sure you will gladly explain how it says something different than it says.
In your version of calvinism, a natural man is able to do all commands of the Lord?
Where does that say “Calvinists believe God creates men with no opportunity for salvation“?
And you will not provide quotations and sources?Sure. Man has free choice.
How does that equate with no man has opportunity?It says that God chooses and what the man does has nothing to do with it. He chooses some and not others and nothing we do matters. What don't you understand?
Everywhere in scripture where it says for man to choose one thing or another.And you will not provide quotations and sources?
Official calvinistic sources.Everywhere in scripture where it says for man to choose one thing or another.
I’m not going to dig around for it.Official calvinistic sources.
How does that equate with no man has opportunity?
Interesting that you require us to dig around for what we say.I’m not going to dig around for it.
That says a lot about your beliefs. Why do you think God owes anyone grace?Not no man, but not everyman.
Calvinism teaches that God doesn't judge men by their actions, but chooses to withhold his grace from some thereby sending them hell with no chance at salvation.
You don’t have to.Interesting that you require us to dig around for what we say.
But when you say something, we are obviously supposed to take your word for it.
That says a lot about your beliefs. Why do you think God owes anyone grace?
What is meant by draw?He owes us nothing, but he promises that ALL MEN will be drawn to Christ and that he loved the world so much that he sent Christ to die for the world.
Grace is not just a special gift for your club, it is for everyone.
You should be happy about that.
