It would seem to if one believes in the Arminian God.

I am a "none of the above", but I am curious. Are you implying by this statement that those who are Arminian are serving a different God? Or is this just a figure of speech. Thanks!

It was a figure of speech. Of course Arminians and Calvinists worship the same triune God. But to a certain degree we have fashioned God into one of our own making.

One of the attacks of the Arminian against the Calvinist is that the Calvinist God is not "loving" because He did not die for every last sin of every last man, woman, and child that ever lived. They define love in terms of universalism. They make it so that God must have done such and so in order to be truly perceived by His creation as "loving".
