The good St. F. is either of the elect or not. If he is not of the elect, what good would it do for him to repent of any evil? Why should he?

If he is of the Elect, he will repent, as all are called to repent. If he is not of the Elect, I am still obligated to preach the gospel and call him to repentance because God has commanded it for one thing, and because it is through the preaching of the Gospel that God reaches the Elect.

"Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God."

No Calvinist has ever replied directly to that question, so it comes as no surprise that you have not either.

Let me ask it again.

Try to answer the question, if you would.

:::”Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.”:::

Do you not understand your own religion? Reformed faith comes from the Holy Spirit invading one’s soul without that person having any say in the matter. Reformed elect are elected regardless of any action or inaction of any person or thing in our universe.

Just another disagreement that Calvin had with Scripture, obviously.

“”If he is of the Elect, he will repent, as all are called to repent.”

Wonderful! considering that I went to confession yesterday and spent time in Eucharistic Adoration praying for people like you,I guess that makes me the elect in your world
I don’t know my future and I want to be humble with the hope that God may accept me into heaven

I refuse to spend time thinking about if I am the elect or not and simply “try” and love ,live in the truth .The more I interact with people such as yourself ,the more God shows me that I need to sacrifice my time to pray for people such as yourself

My prayer for you is to pick up the cross instead of attacking the Catholic Church out of your ignorance.

Good Night !

I wish you a blessed evening!
