    Christ came to save sinners. Some believe Christ came only to save the elect. So would that make the elect the only sinners?

    ABSOLUTELY!! the "elect" are human, and have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. FALSE!! the "Non-elect" are human, and have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. Calvinist "Election" is is part of their "Theology", but essentially means NOTHING in a practical sense. NOBODY KNOWS...

    Some believe that God predestines all things. If that is so who killed Abel?

    Compatibilism and the Hardening of Hearts

    PERSONALLY, I think it's more likely that God "SOFTENED" Pharaoh's heart by applying "Conviction" about what Moses was demonstrating, but when the Conviction of the Holy Spirit lifted, then Pharaoh's heart simply returned to it's normal state - i.e. HARD.

    Chuckle!! We ALL have sinned (as soon as we could) and we didn't need any assistance from Adam in doing so, since we've got the same nature Adam was created with, and temptation works the same as it always did. The same place that it teaches that Infants and fetuses HAVE sin, and have to go to...

    Chuckle!!! Maybe they kicked mommy too hard on the inside. SO you ascribe to "Adam's SIN' being imputed to all humans, then. I.e. - Having no sin of their own, they have to die anyway FOR SOMEBODY ELSE'S Sin????

    As do I. As innocents, "Election" wouldn't even be an issue.

    Totally unimportant. REGARDLESS of the "Theology" you're gonna do what you're gonna do. so am I.

    Cain. "Some believe" that the earth is flat, and that we've never been to the moon. So much for "Some". It's nothing but "theology" after all, so no big deal.

    Which is probably why God brought it all to nothing. Sodom was doing pretty well too - up to a point.
