God's judgment on all mankind as fallen sinners is just. Why does not God give all mankind an equal shot at salvation?No actually she is saying that according to Calvin’s theology God’s judgement on the unelected is unjust.
So you believe some people are given the heart to be saved but some do not. How do you justify this? Why are not all humans of all time given the same equal opportunity of salvation?
How does one who is dead in their sins and trespasses come to repent, believe and abide in Christ?Repent, believe, and abide in Christ to the end.
I will agree anyone can hear the Gospel and reject it. But why do they reject it? What makes them different from those who do accept the Gospel message?Everyone is given the same opportunity for salvation but many refuse to accept it.

So the earlier statement to the opposite of what you are saying here...was wrong. I agree.Not moving fast.
Of course they don’t say “God is unjust.”
So now the Calvinists are unjust but not God? Or have you just backtracked on what we agreed to above?What they teach their god does IS unjust.
No I don't. I need (and asked) only that we do not accept the false charge that Calvinism teaches that God is unjust. And I'm not even a Calvinist myself.I you’re one, you need to show us HOW God is not just but acts as calvinists teach.
God decides. We do not know all that God bases his decision on.On what basis does He does who goes to heaven or hell then?
He certainly does not make that assumption. If we instinctively knew what is right and what is wrong, Moses would not have been given the Ten Commandments and Jesus would not have preached the Sermon on the Mount and instructed the people for three years prior to his crucifixion.God commands us to do justly. He assumes we KNOW what justly doing is.
The preview to the New Covenant is in Ezekiel 36.To the unelected?
Like him or not, disagree with him or not, but that is NOT what he was saying. It is what people with a superficial knowledge of Calvin think his theology is suggesting.That’s what Calvin’s theology is suggesting.
Calvinism is 100% Biblical. It is Biblical doctrine taught by Christ and His Apostles. Now think on that. More correctly, Calvinism draws the truth out of the Scriptures (exegesis) and presents a Biblically sound systematic theology.Agree.
It's starting to look like Calvinism is just the same old OSAS topped with a different, artificially sweetened flavor. Why people choose to follow these crackpots (men) is beyond me, when it's just another twisted version of the Gospel with intent to get everyone to believe we are destined for heaven no matter what we do.
These several false doctrines always boil down to the same exact thing (Huge clue, folks. technically we can live it up here in spite of what the bible states, and still go to heaven. An easier way for those who don't love God/Christ enough to bother taking them seriously to the point of being obedient to them. So instead they constantly try to reinforce their belief in how they can get to heaven the easy way by trying to get others to buy it/agree with them.
When will people put two and two together, and realize what they are doing and why they are doing it, especially when they are completely aware of Satan's tricks, and that this is exactly like something he would do?
WAKE UP PEOPLE, CAN'T YOU SEE THIS IS JUST WHAT SATAN WANTS YOU BELIEVE! YOU ARE BEING PLAYED!
I guess atheists can also believe a misconception.Then there’s also the polar opposite position where atheists say I’m not elected by God so I’m not even going to try to repent and believe. I heard that one just yesterday.
Arminianism? That is the doctrine that puts man as choosing God. Makes God a beggar to human whim.When a doctrine is created out of pure selfishness, how can we expect those who buy into it to care what happens to others as a result of their teaching?
You keep saying this, but continue to refuse to believe what the Scriptures teach on election. Your statements show you don't believe God elects according to His will and purpose. Then how does God elect?Yeah yeah...is it even remotely possible for those who are not elected to become elected to salvation?
Is there anyone who can be elect without God first electing?Is there anything a person who has not been elected can do to be elected?
You keep getting the answer. Paul in the following verse tell us:Ok fine I’ll ask the question you keep dodging again. HOW did God endure with much patience the vessels for wrath? HOW NOT WHY.
No if you have been reading what I have written so many time, the above is not what Calvin or any Reformer taught.According to Calvin theology man is completely incapable of repentance or doing anything to attain election which means that they were never given the opportunity to even be capable of repentance.
Reformed theology doesn't say we have no choice. It says without God, we always choose corruptly. Your take there is flat wrong. God uses means to accomplish his ends. And we fit those means perfectly, through obedience or through disobedience, just as he planned.Then why did Jesus and the apostles tell anyone to repent or believe? According to Calvin’s doctrines no one can choose either way. When the jailer asked Paul & Silas “what must I do to be saved” they should’ve replied “nothing, don’t worry about it”.
Not to be an ass, here, but there is no such thing as chance. Nevertheless, your reasoning is human, not Scriptural. God doesn't claim to be fair, but just. Fairness and mercy are not at all the same thing.Which still makes God’s judgment unjust because the condemned never had any chance for salvation.
