Why do some feel a tug towards God and others nothing?

[Saint Steven]

... It is only our self-important trust in our viewpoint that considers him limited.

Well said. Thanks.

The way I understand Calvinism some are chosen for salvation others are not and nothing either side could do to change that.

...well, yes, except the reprobate satanic could have changed that by not choosing to sin the unforgivable sin thereby putting themselves outside of HIS GRACE AND MERCY FOR EVER, SIGH.

the claim is made that God is limited in what he can do by his promises, his love, his inability to do what is logically self-contradictory, etc etc. But we know he is NOT limited, but rather, that by the very nature of who he is what he does not do is because of who he is: he has no inclination to be self-contradictory, unloving, unfaithful, etc.

This is the same thing. You repeated the claim that you didn't like in different words and contradicted yourself.

Our choices are part of those means. He causes all things to work together for good. He causes our choices, but they are indeed real choices.

Here again, you contradicted yourself.

Do those references negate this one? John 12:32

Absolutely not brother but we must determine how all scripture can be true and interpret it in such a way that our doctrines do not conflict with any scriptures.

All of Scripture is in complete accord. We may ask "how can these things be?", which the Prince-Leader of reconciliation will ultimately reveal in His time frame.

Kindly demonstrate the contradiction, please, for the sake of being believed, at least, by some reader who may happen by...

Once again. Demonstrate. Assertion just doesn't do it.

I had hoped to make plain that all fact is FROM God, and not TO him. We have no way to match our concepts and words to him. You want to say how he is limited, but he is not limited. HE is the default, our viewpoint and descriptions are bogus by comparison. We are ignorant idiots.

But even from a human viewpoint it is illogical: There is nothing to a self-contradictory notion, so how can it limit him?

So, you don't question anything?
