[I]f a sick man knows that he must unavoidably die, or unavoidably recover, though he knows not which, it is unreasonable for him to take any physic at all. He might justly say, (and so I have heard some speak, both in bodily sickness and in spiritual,) "If I am ordained to life, I shall live; if to death, I shall live; so I need not trouble myself about it.

This is my favorite quotation from Mr. Wesley. It slices right through the rhetorical dodging of the Calvinist construct with unanswerable Truth.

I don't have time to post an answer here, but Spurgeon dealt with this argument quite nicely as he did the other alleged arguments against Calvinism. I'm surprised more people don't read Spurgeon. He was an eloquent defender of orthodox Christianity. I also find it amusing that lots of Arminians quote Spurgeon on Sunday morning, but wouldn't let him in the pulpit if he were still here today.
