Okay, I just did read the article.
Just so you know, I am a literate, thinking person.
Despite what I read in the article, the section “Limited Atonement” continues to puzzle me. Therefore, I was NOT able to answer my continuing question: If I do everything the Bible says one must do to be saved, yet God has not CHOSEN me to be saved, then what?
You see...my thought on this is that if you are chosen to be a “vessel of destruction”, even though you desperately WANT to be saved and spend Eternity with Christ in Heaven, what is the point of living a good and quiet life down here? If you knew that no matter what you did, you’d be destined for Hell, wouldn’t you out living like a sinner? Having as much ‘fun’ as you could before you died?
I mean...if I knew I wasn’t going to make it to Heaven, no matter what I did, I’d be living like a completely depraved man. After all...I have only one destiny, so why not live it up?
It seems to me from your questions that you disagree with Unconditional Election. A vessel created for destruction does not desperately want to be saved because of Total Depravity.
