But I have never met a saint, have you?

I don't mean to be sarcastic or malicious here, Kosta, but you have posted so many things I never would have imagined a Christian would believe. Just recently when asked if God is grieved by our sins, you said "no." You deny our sin necessitated redress by Christ and you appear skeptical of the "ransom" Christ has paid for us. And those are remarks just made within the past few minutes.

I think you might benefit by spending some time with my Scripture generator.

Even the random one.

That I do believe. Are you suggesting that your idea of what a Christian is must be what a Christian is?

Well if you find that strange, you perhaps need to read more rather than presume that it is wrong.

Why would God in your Calvinist framework of faith grieve for something He created, something He not only knew would happen, but actually choreographed and set in His plan like in stone from before all ages? Is God not the author of this world?

Of course I do! God is under no obligation to redress our sins! Banish that idea! Christ died willingly for us out of love in order to free us from the shackles of death. In that sense, he paid a ransom.
