only in the assassination of Persons faith does it.
John Calvin taught being obedient to the father.
What would be the point if you think he believed he would doing everything God had made him do.
He's doing it through mutualism, being saved
Nope what your reading is Someone's else's imagination.
Anyhow let's just say for one minute you think predestination is what your making out to be true of somebody that would be a crime.
But I don't see predestination as predetermining,
I don't see it as talking about God choosing you as forcing you
I talk about predestination as something nice
Same as God choosing you
Same as God putting his mercy in your heart.
Same as God willing you
Same as guiding and his sheep then following
What your doing is poisoning his well

here you go @Blue155 found it for you here is Rufus saying God doesn't control you like a robot and saying he can give you enabling grace
to be saved He was quoting for God so loved the world he gave his only son, that whom ever should believe in him shall be saved.
So here is Rufus saying he can give you enabling grace to do so.
an elegant person I would say.
More a team player really than a teacher, but a good captain in certain fields m
I'm sure you probably have a good gift.

By wanting me to explain and by wanting to how God's eternal decrees don't make him morally culpable for sin per Calvinism, is basically saying that God's eternal decrees does make him morally culpable for sin, per Calvinism, otherwise the question would not be asked. That's what I've been saying about Calvinism all along, and so it has been affirmed that what I said is true of Calvinism. Which is this: Calvinism has God being morally culpable for man’s sin in His own eternal decree. Also, the fact the questionnaire has referenced Job 1 and Acts 4 as verses to suggest that, further proves that’s what Calvinism believes. I don’t have to answer any questions, as the questionnaire and responses from Calvinists on here has proved my point about Calvinism. By asking the question how God’s eternal decree doesn’t make Him culpable has proved the logical tension and inconsistency in Calvinism.
when tempted
No one should say God is tempting them
Question
.what makes you think a bible scholar like John Calvin wouldn't know this

The very will that God eternally decreed the man to have per Calvinism…which is the will that God eternally decreed to set man free, per Calvinism? Yet, since the individual is one of the elect, then God is having to set the elect’s will free, even though it has already been done in God’s eternal decree (since the man is the elect), per Calvinism? If God already eternally decreed the will to be free, why is there a need for grace to make it free? Hmmm….inconsistency abounds in Calvinism…
