Uri'el> Calvinism is Bible based Christianity not re-branded Islam.

Only if you consider proof texting snippets of Scripture set in an Islamic pudding mould Christianity. Besides, Judaizers were condemned back as far as Acts.

Islam has nothing to do with the Abrahamic Covenant. Ishmael was born to Abram not to Abraham. (look it up in the WORD)

That is the word. The WORD is Jesus. Anyhow, saying that Abram is not Abraham is like saying that Simon is not Peter.

And also as usual, you have presented snippets which seem different than they are supposed to be from the words of our Lord. Let us see the passage in context:

Mark 12: * 28One of the scribes,i when he came forward and heard them disputing and saw how well he had answered them, asked him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?” 29Jesus replied, “The first is this: ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! 30You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’j 31The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”k 32The scribe said to him, “Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, ‘He is One and there is no other than he.’ 33And ‘to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself’ is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”l

Your snippet would seem to say that we should preclude the Trinity.

You seem to have an un-christion attitude towards Calvinism.
It in no way resembles Islam.
This demonstrates a blazing ignorance
about both Calvinism and Islam.

In order to remove Biblical Ignorance about the renaming
of Abram to Abraham and Sarai to Sarah.
When YHvH blessed then He added the Heh sound to their
names as it is the breath of Elohim.

Clearly the creator of the universe,
YHvH does not choose Ishmael !

Descendants of Abraham?

YHvH does not think so, He repudiates them !

YHvH states that Isaac is Abraham's only son

See Genesis 22:2 22:12 22:16 & Hebrews 11:17

The Name of Elohim is YHvH; He says so !

The Name of His Son is Yah'shua ( YHvH is my Salvation )

It is clear from the lips of Yah'shua via Peter
by the pen of Mark that there is only ONE Elohim,
and His NAME is YHvH. Yah'shua is YHvH's salvation.

Perhaps you are unaware that the King James translators
replaced the word YHvH (the NAME Of G-d) with LORD over 7000 times.

Compare Calvin's Geneva with both East Germany under Honecker and Iran under the Ayatollahs for evidence.

It is also the sound of those laughing at this offering.

YHvH states that Isaac is Abraham's only son

That is in Chapter 22. In Chapter 21, He says that:

9Sarah noticed the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham playing with her son Isaac; 10so she demanded of Abraham: “Drive out that slave and her son! No son of that slave is going to share the inheritance with my son Isaac!”f 11Abraham was greatly distressed because it concerned a son of his.* 12But God said to Abraham: Do not be distressed about the boy or about your slave woman. Obey Sarah, no matter what she asks of you; for it is through Isaac that descendants will bear your name.g 13As for the son of the slave woman, I will make a nation of him also,* since he too is your offspring.

14Early the next morning Abraham got some bread and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. Then, placing the child on her back,* he sent her away. As she roamed aimlessly in the wilderness of Beer-sheba, 15the water in the skin was used up. So she put the child down under one of the bushes, 16and then went and sat down opposite him, about a bowshot away; for she said to herself, “I cannot watch the child die.” As she sat opposite him, she wept aloud. 17God heard the boy’s voice, and God’s angel called to Hagar from heaven: “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not fear; God has heard the boy’s voice in this plight of his.h 18Get up, lift up the boy and hold him by the hand; for I will make of him a great nation.” 19Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went and filled the skin with water, and then let the boy drink.

20God was with the boy as he grew up. He lived in the wilderness and became an expert bowman.

God does not throw any of His Creations away, regardless of the heartlessness of those who defend a heartless religion such as Calvinism.
