What we need,when these calvinist articles are posted are inputs by those who understand the greek, aramaic and latin texts from which these verses including the passages of predistination have been translatied into English. When I read the surrounding contextual verses in John and the predistination passages as well, I don't see how hypercalvinists can justify what they are saying. So what does the greek actually say?

One can turn the article back on itself and say that what the Calvinists are actually saying about John 3:16 For God so loved the World(of the predestined elect) that he gave his only begotten son, that who-soever believeth in him(that is when those of the elect come to that time in his or her life as pre-detirmined by God) shall not perish(it was never in doubt any way!) but have eternal life!

The verse just can't be interpreted that way!

Agreed.

It can, and should, when read within the context of the whole of Scripture.

Ask and you shall receive. I hope. :-)
