So, no one ever sins--according to TULIP.

No, according to the Scriptures (and affirmed in TULIP) all men are sinners and sin every day.

The "reprobate" are that way because God deemed them to be so. They are doing God's will.

The saved are saved because God deemed them to be so--they are doing God's will.

Men are reprobate because they love their sins more than they love God.

Men are saved by God's grace alone through faith alone in the finished work of Jesus Christ alone, freely and mercifully imputed to them as if that righteousness were their own.

I guess the whole story about Jesus writing in the dust and the adulteress never actually happened?

Wow. The only people I've heard basing their faith on Christ's unknown words scrawled in the sand are FR Roman Catholics.

When did you convert?

How (according to TULIP) does one go about disobeying an omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent God? Give us details.

Men are reprobate because they love their sins more than they love God.

Agreed.

Hmm--where did I do that? I was referencing what He told the crowd, though.
