[what's up]

If there is no ability to act on one’s own volition, there is no way to “rebel” against God, either by angels or man, because every thought, every act, every single thing that happens was ordained by God (in the Calvinist view).

Actually, one's choice or volition will always be rebellion toward God. We do not have power to be righteous.

It's God's mercy that shines the light of truth and compels one to respond to His irresistible grace.

Yes, in the Calvinist view - God ordained man to sin. Man has not free will to do anything other than what God ordained, so therefore God is the source of evil.
