"Okay so what's Calvin's position on free will? You (editorially speaking) do determine your (editorially speaking) destiny. Not G-d. You (editorially speaking) decide to worship Yashua. He doesn't force you (editorially speaking) to love and worship Him."

You have an odd way of communicating. What exactly is "editorially speaking"?

And, no, according to the Scriptures you do not "...determine your own destiny." May want to read Paul's argument against this concept. See Romans (in particular chap. 9). "So then it does not depend upon the man who wills (chooses) or the man who runs (behaves in a certain way), but upon God who has mercy...So then He has mercy on whom He desires and He hardens whom He desires."

Now then...where again was SkyDancer in this situation?

Editorially speaking means what I wrote is not directed at you.
