The concept of love you enemies is alien to their idea of God and to themselves. God doesn't even forgive anyone he forces a brain/heart transplant.
God loves people enough to save them. Praise Him for irresistible grace!
We see Jesus however "forgive them they know not what they do".
We see Sephen:
Acts 7
59They went on stoning Stephen as he called on
the Lord and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
60Then falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” Having said this, he fell asleep.
But God answered, "I'm sorry, I can't save them; they have free will and they must believe in Christ all on their own. I can't answer your prayer."
SAID NO Calvinist EVER.
They would view it as an audacity to question or command God. Because they don't believe God is Love. Love has differ vocabulary. There is like 2nd class fake love.
They don't believe the actual force pushing for forgiveness and mercy is God.
I believe God loves people enough to save them, a vast crowd of them so huge that no one can number it. I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died to save them.
We see PAUL,
Romans 9
2that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart.
3For I could wish that I myself were accursed,
separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,
I would eat my own shoe if a Calvinist EVER sounded like that. If a rumor of Calvinist REMOTELY sounding this way I would spit my drink out!
I challenge any of them to sound this way.
Get the salt and pepper ready, and a spittoon for your drink. Then read the biographies of the great Calvinist missionaries, men like William Carey, Adoniram Judson. Read especially the story of John Patton, the missionary to the New Hebrides (Vanuatu). The natives were cannibals, and before he went, an elderly clergyman, no doubt an Arminian, said to him, "Mr Patton, you will surely be eaten by cannibals!" Patton replied, "You sir, are very old, and your prospect is to be eaten by worms. If I can but live and die serving and honouring the Lord Jesus, it will make no difference to me whether I am eaten by worms or cannibals; and in the Great day, my resurrection body will rise as fair as yours in the likeness of our risen Redeemer."
Most of the great missionaries were and are five-point Calvinists, and many of them gave and are giving their lives bringing the Gospel all around the world. You see, the Gospel is not the
offer of God unto salvation; it is not even the
enabling of God unto salvation. It is the
power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:15), and that is why it is worth giving one's life for,
'for we shall reap in due time if we do not lose heart' (Galatians 6:9). No Arminian can say that with absolute confidence. That confidence enabled Carey to soldier on through nine years in which he saw not a single convert, his wife suffered a mental collapse and two of his children died. Yet he did not give up, and in due time he did reap to the glory of God
