Flaws of Calvinism

[Zaatar71]

Jesus Christ is the enabler, for "What is impossible with man is possible with God" Luke 18:27, but Jesus doesn't force people into his kingdom. For over and again, he portrays it as an invitation, an invitation that many refuse, per Luke 14:18 etc. You however wrongly pretend the invitation was never made to vast numbers of people.

Many people have lived and died in Sin who never heard of Jesus. There are many people alive right now ,who will die without hearing of Jesus!

Over and again, Jesus refutes you, e.g. Matt 22:14 etc.

Not at all!

Why then does God not enable some to come to God?

For His good pleasure. he has planned and purposed it before the world was 2tim.1:9

Just because of their insatiable preference for evil: "the people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil." John 3:19.

Yes, they still do. That is why God elected a multitude to be saved!

"Loving darkness" in the sense of a preference for working iniquity is the one sin that will cause God to prohibit access to the kingdom of God.

All men are born in that condition!

I take it that Ps 14 is referring to two different types of people, the apostates, the workers of inquity, and the lost sheep, whose love has grown cold and who have turned away under the influence of the workers of inquity, but who are still regarded as God's people.

The apostle Paul did not take it the way you do, when he quotes it in Romans 3 ,speaking of all men, Jew or gentile!

It is imperative to properly distinguish the lost sheep from the sheep not of Christ's fold (habitual workers of iniquity) in order to grasp biblical teaching in context.

Correct! Not all men are Christs sheep!

Irrelevant diversion.

Not at all!

You don't accept the words of Christ, then.

For His good pleasure. he has planned and purposed it before the world was 2tim.1:9

It says God planned and purposed salvation, not damnation.

Yes, they still do. That is why God elected a multitude to be saved!

All men are born in that condition!

Pure Manichaeism, and opposed by Christ (Matthew 19:14, Mark 10:14).

I think you have a real problem in rejecting the heretical tenets of Manichaeism.

The apostle Paul did not take it the way you do, when he quotes it in Romans 3 ,speaking of all men, Jew or gentile!

Both the lost sheep and the damned sheep are alike admitted to be under the power of sin (to different degrees). Paul is emphasizing sins's pervasiveness in the passages that he quotes. Paul concedes that he was the "worst of sinners" so didn't accept everyone ranked the same in terms of sin's control.

Even Jesus admitted that he "didn't come to call the righteous," That there were righteous in Israel is seen in that at least three prophets are referred to as living in Jesus's day. And three wise men who offered him gifts also. There is nothing in Rom 3 that says that Paul didn't understand it my way.

I find you're not given to proving what you say to be strictly true.
