It’s not so much a lie as an exercise in futility. In the Calvinistic scheme, IF the reprobate repented and believed, they would be saved—but the catch is that since they are reprobate, they WON’T.

God is love.

Now I command you Calvinists, says the Lord, to go and lie to the reprobate. The inconsistency of Calvins inscription on God Himself is an abomination against the very nature of God.

An irresistible call is a forced response. Force does not prescribe our love to God. We have no choice in the Calvinist distinctives. Uncondititional elecation is an invention necessitating the invention of irresistable transformation. Both are theological inventions and are therefore meaningless as to regarding Biblical teachings. God has factored into our natures 'volition'. Calvinism asks Christianity to embrace a God who dissociates His Holiness from His Sovereignty.

Why does Calvinism deny God the right to save by Grace through Faith as the Bible says?

How disingenuine of you. You say they will not....but Calvinism says God prevents them from repenting. You say won't , but you know the proper characterization in the Reform distinctive of Unconditional election is that John Calvin says God has reprobated the nonelect to the eternal fires of damnation for all etermity FOR HIS GOOD PLEASURE. Not they won't, they CAN'T You know that, yet you obfuscate this from readers who have not studied this issue. Why do you choose to....should I say lie, or prevaricate, or obfuscate....I will say...obfuscate. Whatever you call it you liable the very nature and name of God of the Bible.
