[Dr. Eckleburg]

That is often the difference between the four-point Calvinist and the five-point Calvinist.

It's probably easier to be a four-point pastor. But it is not sound doctrine, IMO. It's self-contradictory.

What God wills comes to pass. Period. We should be rejoicing in that fact, not challenging it.

Then you agree with Edwin Palmer that if any of the five points is false, then they must all be false; and if one is true, they must all be true? aside from the 'P', I would agree.

Keeping in mind that a four-pointer is never in disagreement about the 'P', your logic would be correct.

As you know, I disagree with the 'T', so the 'U', 'L', 'I' must also fail.

I simple do not think that everything that happens is what God desires.
