***God could can be just as 'Majestic and Sovereign' and man still as helpless and corrupt if God allows man a choice in accepting or rejecting Him. ***

A man who chooses God is not helpless. It's just that simple, ftD.

Think about it carefully...
A man who chooses God is not helpless.
A man who chooses God is not helpless.
A man who chooses God is not helpless.

Let me repeat...
A man who chooses God is not helpless.
A man who chooses God is not helpless.
A man who chooses God is not helpless.

A man could choose God if God gave him that ability.

It is that Calvinism starts out with Unconditional election then builds it theology around that, that makes it impossible for man to have a choice.

God is omnipotent and can easily give man the ability to choose to accept or reject Him.

He talks with spiritually dead people (Gen.4, 20, Acts.10,) and they understand Him.

But allowing a choice, is something that the Calvinist maintains is beyond God's power?

No, you believe it is not God's will to do so, a 'will' that you maintain is a secret one and thus 'inscruptiable'.

Yet, you build an entire theological structure around a 'will' that is not revealed in Scripture.
