You and I are becoming more calvinist every month.

It was a fore-ordained opportunity for them to do good, but they didn't.

We shall forever remain Calvinists in the tradition of Arminius.

Tell me about it. A long line of Calvinists.

Even if we were to follow eastern philosophy, it says "in every problem there is a gift."

Jesus gave us the "wherever a man's treasure is ...." These men showed us where their treasure is. I'm sorry, but I don't consider reaching the summit of Everest any more significant than taking a ten minute online personality test.

A Calvinist would believe that it must have been time for this man to die.

"His ways are above our ways... He has an appointed time for every man to die... Who are we to question the acts of God?"

If anything, Calvinism would teach that this was his fore-ordained time to meet the Lord.
