Once again, Kosta, you're creating a straw man. This is NOT what Calvinism teaches. Judas was an evil person. Satan is going to burn forever. The fall was understood and allowed and perfectly within God's sovereignty but Adam and Eve CHOSE to sin because God gave them free will. And how dare you say God tempts man to sin. You know very well that is not what Calvinism teaches. You are bearing false witness with flourish as usual about a doctrine you don't like. You are wrong, Kosta.

That is orthodox, not Calvinist. Calvinism denies free will. If they chose to sin (I agree), then Mary could have chosen not to sin as well.

And how dare you say God tempts man to sin

"And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."

Indeed, how dare we say to God not to lead us into temptation?
