I like to be honest that is all, and you yourself admitted it.
How many times did I reach out to you to give guidance as well as others and typically you responded to that guidance as though it was done in malice.
In my honesty I could not deny that you have indeed given your testimony.
You really should have just said "thank you" ... but you see, you put yourself in a very antagonist place over and over again.

I need to refresh my spirit after that waste of time that I am sorry I partook of.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Phil. 4:8
as Paul put it:
14... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father,d 15from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth 19of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20Now to Him who is able to do so much more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, 21to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3
These things give peace to my soul and assurance to my spirit.

You are right, this commentary clearly refutes the idea of "Limited atonement"
Interesting, but may I point out Calvin isnt teh only calvinist commentator who does similar blunders. Almost everyone of the biblehub commentaries (like John Gill etc) do this same mistake.
I suspect the calvinists will find a way to wiggle out of this by saying that Calvin here means a "general call" instead of the "effectual call" but that will not work because the "general call" is really no call at all, salvation is not REALLY offered to anyone, since Jesus didnt die for them in the Limited atonement sense.
This is why im not a calvinist, too much philosophy involved, and too many Scriptures ignored.

Here's a funny one.
Guy is busy writing away and all of a sudden he comes across a word he wants to use but cannot remember how to spell it. So he types out how he thinks it goes, believing that auto correct will come to his aid.
Auto-correct comes back with 'I ain't got nuthin for that.'
