You see, sister, just how disengenuous SKempis is. I tell him that we do not believe what he has attributed to Calvinism and this is the reply. God does not punish people for His decisions, He punishes people for their own decisions.
That is my reply because I see no support of your claim that I have misrepresented Calvinism.
"...God does not punish people for His decisions, He punishes people for their own decisions."
I agree. And if Calvinism actually claims that it is not God's decision, I have misunderstood and I apologise. But will you please tell me how these people decided to elect themselves?
If we must walk through this...
From my understanding, you believe God decides whom to elect. (? RnMom care to answer?)
If so, it is not their decision, but God's, and I have not attributed something wrongly as you claim.
That is pretty simple. Do you still want to say I'm the one who is disingenuous?
