God responsible for evil. I think that is what bothers me about the whole concept. Does God know who will reject Him? Yes, if He wants to know. That's about as close as I can get to the "elect". Why would he choose some to save and create others designed for Hell. Eternal death for this one, life for the other? Could you not equate this with selective abortion?

The calvin folks say God looks at the whole bunch and their all wicked and going to hell, and He says I'll just pick a few of them to worship me so it won't be a total loss and of course let them have a freewill will to do so, but its not really a freewill they just think it is, so what if I let the rest of them burn in hell, I made them, I'll do what ever I want with them. And BTW I'm also a JUST God.
Thats the god of the calvin folks.

Why would he choose some to save...I think the real question is why does He save ANY of us?
