Then again, I do not subscribe to the (It can't really be saying what it says because that wouldn't fit with my theology so I must change the definition of the words that it uses as to conform with my pre-existing theologies) FTD Hermeneutic. Sorry FTD, the Authorized (By God) Version states that God created evil -plain and simple.

Well, M. Chauvin, The KJ version is well and good but you still should buy a concordance. The Hebrew for evil in that sentence means adversity, affliction, and bad calamity which seems to say God will remove His protection. The other evil is a different word.

One thing that none of you have mentioned in the edification of the non-Calvinists is the age of responsibility. A child can attain this age just by hearing the gospel preached and becoming aware of his or her sins. Many children are thus converted at a very young age and the conversion is real.
