Arminians never grasp this one thing: if their views are correct in that God leaves it up to us as to who would be saved, then it would follow that obviously man is not dead in his sin after the Fall. After all, when does a dead man have the ability to make a conscious choice? Furthermore, does not Scripture say that the Gospel is not able to be understood by unbelievers since they do not have the Spirit, WHICH BRINGS THEM THAT UNDERSTANDING? Calvinism is correct because it acknowledges that GOD has chosen to start the process and change the hearts of the predestined ones. This is in line with Scripture. Why did he do it....I don't know. But, he is God adn I won't criticize.
