Wrong. You changed your wording about election. You earlier said, "as opposed to a heavenly lottery." Now you omitted this fact and restructured your argument, void of your blasphemous straw man.If you re-read my post I said I believe scriptural election based on God’s foreknowledge what I do not believe is Calvinism’s philosophizing election based on the opinions of men. In reality it is Calvinism’ attack on the Holiness of God that is the issue. Scripture clearly says God cannot be tempted to commit evil neither does God tempt men to commit evil. How do you rationalize that scripture and believe God preordains men to sin against Him ?
You state, "Calvinism’s philosophizing election based on the opinions of men." Your baseless opinion violating scripture is noted.
In reality it is the non-Calvinist which twists scripture to say what it does not and Calvinism to say what it does not. Here you state, "God cannot be tempted to commit evil." This is a moot point since no one is saying that God is tempted to commit evil; it would be a straw man of Calvinism to say such a thing. You also state, "neither does God tempt men to commit evil." Again, this is a moot point since Calvinists do not say that God tempts men to commit evil. It is your conflation of ordaining and tempting that is truly the violation of the character of God, since you are conflating dissimilar things (category error fallacy) and than falsely accusing Calvinists of what only the non-Calvinist has misrepresented (straw man fallacy). First you blaspheme God and then you straw man Calvinism, while all the while praying like a Calvinist. Do you have any idea what you are doing?
