It has always been and always will be the plight of us who take seriously the sovereignty of God and the devasting noetic effect of sin against those whom in their own autonomous judgment declare that the majoritarian ethic should rule over and against divine revelation that we gladly take our stripes in defense of our King.

We have no King but Jesus ,so we do not bow to any man . I know that is hard to understand by those that place many things between them and God .

As a Calvinist , I believe the eternal fate of every single person that posts to FR has been established, not by their work or the work off a church ...but only by the drawing of the Father and the work of Christ in our behalf .It is written in the heavenlies from before the foundation of the earth .

So I know that even what seems to others to be a "punishment" , is actually a part of Gods foreordained plan . With man being but an instrument . So those that think that Woody has "lost" , in fact can see that in all things God has a purpose.

What is done in the darkness always comes to the light ..someday we will all know the reason why , and it will not be the reason seen by men today

That may be true of some Calvinists, but it certainly is not consistent with the Biblical injunctions to honor the authorities in Romans 13 and I Pet. 2.

The assertion, "We have no king but Jesus" is the lie of Americanism that has infiltrated the mindset of too many Christians since the pre-Revolutionary days.
