Calvinists believe in the totality of God's power, awareness and reach.

Do you believe in a God that is so powerful that he is able to accomplish his perfect will in all things even if he grants unto man absolute free-will in all matters including the choice to accept or reject the offer of God's grace unto salvation?

Is God that awesome? Or is he limited to accomplishing his will only by turning his creation into cosmic robots.

If Scripture indicates God removed our sinful nature with Christ's death, you would have a strong case here. But, until you can prove we are not "slaves to sin," as the NT still says we are, you don't.

People dead in sins can't just choose to all of a sudden come alive, just like the bones in Ezekiel required God to make them alive.

Still waiting on an Arminian or non calvinist answer to my question

Does the God who foreknows with certainity, who knows who will choose Him from before the creation of the earth , so He can then choose them also foreknow with certainity all those that will never choose Him ?

Yet knowing that the ones that will never choose Him are certain fodder for the flames of hell still make them?

Is that "fair"

He could not make them ,so they never have to burn , or add a little more grace or change the circumstances so they can be saved in their own will..

But He makes them for the purpose of hell

YES or NO ??
