All men ARE able.
They are not WILLING. They are given a choice and they reject it.
I send you to Santa Anita and say to you, “Bet the #1 horse in the 5th race. Sure winner.” Then someone tells you I am a crazy old loon, and you are inclined against me. You get there and say, “That crazy old loon doesn’t know horses any better than I know quantum mechanics; I’m doing what I want.”
The #1 in the 5th wins. You were told, but you didn’t do it. Why? You trusted your own judgment more than mine. It was STILL your choice.
I thought that in Reformed theology that man does not have a choice. I don’t understand this analogy.
That's what I was saying. Are you agreeing wiht me or just repeating it?

I agree. Thus, MEN are judged. IF man had no choice to choose, than God is judged for saying He desires all men to be saved but not give them the means to choose. I need not say that this would make God a liar.
