If you say! You do so love to mock what you have never experience instead of examining yourselves. It is a predestination thing you know.

Well, ofcourse it is!

A simple question: If a man is not willing to come that he may have life, then what is he?

According to Calvinism he us unable to be willing, yet is still held responsible for being unable!

Look at Rom.1:20-21! Man is held responsible for rejecting God's kindness not due to some 'eternal decree'. Some do respond to that kindness as did Cornelius who was stated to be a devout man (Acts.10:2) even though an unbeliever (Acts.11:14),he was not saved until Peter told him the Gospel. In John 3:19-21 sets up the contrast. Those who love darkness will remain in darkness and those who love the light will come to the light. God will shed His light on those who He knows would respond to it! And He shed light on those who react to it, thus the hardening effect(Matt.5:45) Only Calvins presuppositions make this impossible, but Scripture teaches it!

I have asked you a question. Are you too much of a coward that you must constantly hide behind your slanders and lies and outright bigotry towards us that you will not answer the question put to you. BTW, I have let you off the hook about our Biblical view of man's Depravity. From here forward, you are without excuse. Any time you misstate our position, I will call you the liar that you are.

A question:

If a man is not willing to come that he may have life, then what is he? (John 5:40)
