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

THOSE WHO PERISH ARE BLINDED TO THE GOSPEL.
2 Cor 4:4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

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

GOD BINDS HIMSELF TO DO THAT WHICH PLEASES HIMSELF.
Psa. 115:3But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.


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

OBVIOUSLY YOU IGNORE SCRIPTURE WHEN POSTED BY CALVINISTS [even when we use the king jimmy]. MOST OF YOUR QUESTIONS IN THIS POST ARE OF A SPECULATIVE OR INFERRENTIAL BASIS.

Clearly you have a hard time reading clear English my good Doctor!

It says that the 'god of this world hath blinded those who believe not', not could not believe, which would make blinding them a pretty redundent effort is it not?

Why 'blind' someone who already can't see!

The fact is that Calvinism starts with an unscriptural premise (unconditional election) and twists scripture to fit it.

***But allowing a choice, is something that the Calvinist maintains is beyond God's power?*** GOD BINDS HIMSELF TO DO THAT WHICH PLEASES HIMSELF. Psa. 115:3But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

As I said, the issue isn't what man is able to do or not do, but what the Calvinists think God has decided to do.

***Yet, you build an entire theological structure around a 'will' that is not revealed in Scripture.*** OBVIOUSLY YOU IGNORE SCRIPTURE WHEN POSTED BY CALVINISTS [even when we use the king jimmy]. MOST OF YOUR QUESTIONS IN THIS POST ARE OF A SPECULATIVE OR INFERRENTIAL BASIS.

Now, how many Calvinist theologians do you want me to cite who have to fall back on God's secret will (or words to that effect?)

2 Cor 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

So that we are clear, the "god of this world" whom the apostle Paul is referring to is Satan, yes?
