Ask God when you stand before Him on the day of judgement.. God decided to reveal it in the Bible.. So He must believe it is important otherwise he would not have revealed it..
God knows the Beginning and the End.. That assures us that God cannot be surprised or out played.. Gods like a Chess player who knows each and every move the other player will ever make.. It is impossible to defeat God because He foreknows everything that is going to happen before it happens.. That's why prophecy exists.. Accurate foretelling of future events NEEDS foreknowledge of those events.. When we read the Book of Revelation we see how detailed Gods foreknowledge of the end times are.. Gods foreknowledge allows us to be assured that God wins..

Nope both Armins and calvs agree on the T .
Both agree that ' Election ' has to do with salvation . Conditional v unconditional. But still the same error on what Elect means .
This comes in the 4th century with Augustine .
Calv = regeneration precede faith . Because of the T , U ,L so they have to have the I and the P
Armins because of the T have to have Previenint grace . but differ on the I .
Rather its called partial regeneration . Enough to make a decision or reject .
Because of the T they also need ' Election ' to be a choosing prior , but based on foreseen faith . Forseen faith is the Calvinst s best argument against Arminism ,which they will go for ever time . Meanwhile bible believers are not caught up in this in house squabble.

Calvinists are human.. They may well not understand the doctrines that Calvinism is based upon.. The definitions of Unconditional Election and Irresistible Grace are as i posted and they state clearly that it is all 100% Gods doing.. His will is irresistible according to calvinism.. So according to their doctrine they are indeed forced to accept the will of God and be saved.. They have no say in it..
