Calvinists did not make up the Plan of Salvation and/or it’s accompanying doctrine of predestination. All of it is biblical. Calvinists at least try honestly to understand and explain it, in the limit to which mankind can understand the ineffable works of God. None of us understand everything, but many are able to understand at different levels, again, at the grace of God, not through our own efforts, except we are promised that our attempts at understanding and our dilligence will be rewarded.

“Calvinists did not make up the Plan of Salvation and/or it’s accompanying doctrine of predestination. All of it is biblical. “

And it took the Church 1500 years to finally rediscover it???

That strains credulity.

“Calvinists at least try honestly to understand and explain it, in the limit to which mankind can understand the ineffable works of God.”

And others do not? Only Calvinists do this?
