I must have missed something, because I can't see how the TULIP doctrine challenges God's authority.
If Calvin said, Christians should not question God's plan, but rather trust in God's "good intentions". If anything there may be some confusion with the language translation if he used the term "good intensions" as that is not a good translation. A better translation would be "God's righteous decrees"
We can't attribute words like "intensions" to God, because He doesn't have any intensions. Men can have intensions because we never know if we will follow through as many fall away, but with God, He just speaks something into existence and it is done. There is no process or plan to work on a project or anything. He just speaks and it's done.

It question man being saved only before the fall.
It also questions who gets forgiven
It questions who is elected
Well it doesn't question Charly, it point blank overrides Gods authority's and determines who will and won't even before there born.
Those where not the words of your church father Jean Calvin
