***Do you count yourself amongst the chosen elite? ***
I rejoice that God has chosen me to be one of his children. Why would you say elite? That is not a word I would use. You seem to be stuck on these words as if you are offended by my belief that you have to denegrate it. Why? What are you afraid of, that I might be right?
As far as I can see, the angels are God’s greatest creation. God made man a little lower than the angels.
It is my point. If you did not believe that you were of the elite and would therefore spend eternity in everlasting fire, would you be as fervent to spread the philosophy that Calvin wrote?
And the Bible verse eludes me at the moment that MAN is the highest of God’s creation, not the angels.
