We have a God of Love,and mercy

Not the God of Calvinism! Oh, no. God has made His choice who will spend eternity forever in bliss and the rest to burn forever in the Lake of Fire.

No, the god of John Calvin is not the God of Jn.3:16!. Jn.16:9 states that the reason a person goes to hell is for not believing, not because he was not chosen.

Even so, come Lord Jesus

The question remains ftD..why do two people hear the same gospel and one hear and respond to it and one refuse to hear it? There has to be a cause for that.

We would agree anyone that would choose hell, and the lakes fire with intention is "crazy". Who would one make a conscious choice to burn for ever?

So there must be something else going on here...

I think you believe in God's forknowlege..and election based on that foreknowledge ...I fail to see a meaningful difference in the end result..infact I think the the "foreknowledge" position also shows God's sovereignty in election. If He fore knows who will accept and fails to intervene directly to bring the others he has ,by His lack of direct action, predestined them to hell. We are simply looking at a difference in time not effect.

God can choose to act as He will..or not act as He will.
