Calvinists are so cute.
Boastfully beating their chests in the street so we can all see how humble you are. These public protestations of your own sinfulness. I've seen the Calvinist "I am more pious because I wallow in more self-loathing" game. That's the bit I'm not buying.
No one is suggesting we aren't or weren't all sinners in need of a savior. I just never bought into the Calvinists need to competitively flagellate myself publically, always publically and "humbly" insisting on being the WORST sinner ever. Truth is, you were probably not much worse before you knew Christ than many many many others. Calvinists just love to publically demonstrate their pious self-loathing. I've never bought into the need to do that. It's a private competition betwixt yourselves to demonstrate that you know you were the worst person ever born.
It's a false humility and a conceit.
Can you believe God is only half a jerk that he actually forgave me when I expected him to forgive no one?
Isn't it so shocking and amazing?
" Can you imagine?! He set His love on me, the least deserving creature on the face of the Earth. . ."
That it, its false humility at its worst. They can't even compute how they insult God.
If God has a right to murder, then he probably "wants to" they say.
God has a right to torture others, so he probably does Plus its righteous and good torture.
If God can forgive everyone or forgive no one, then obviously God is not going to forgive some folks.
They project their own evil attitude as the BASE for God's.
God has the sovereignty to do anything he wants the absolute way he wants, he can pick any system, create anything, The punchline he is limited to ONLY DOING CALVINISM.
He couldn't do an Armenian system if he wanted to.
The best question to ask a Calvinist, to point out the utter lack of common sense:
Could God do it another way if he wanted to? (not insisting how he is doing it)
Could God effectively run an Armenian system if he wanted to? A catholic? A Muslim? Jewish?(not insisting how he is doing it)
