That is an excellent post because it clearly points out that while the Calvinist certainly affirms the omnipotence and omniscience of God, the Arminian has a God who is unable to accomplish what He intended thus denying His Omnipotence.

No silly, it simply means that God wants all men to respond, but knows they won't.

BTW, a Calvinist would also say that all men are potentially savable, that because of their humanness they possess the necessary attributes that would allow God to save them.

Did you misspeak here? Human attributes "allow" God to save man?

Calvinism does not say all men are potentially savable. The non-elect were the non-elect from the foundation of the world.

They never had a chance. And, in Calvinism, they reject the gospel because that's what they were pre-programmed to do.

LOL

My FRiend, I continually see your group grumping and whining about how the Calvinist faction on this forum twists and maligns your precious Arminian theology yet in what appears to be a vengeful rejoinder you engage in a similar incindary polemic.

If you have a serious question regarding the Calvinists view of anthropology then please rephrase your question. Thanks.
