But a Calvinist gets his hands on the Sacred Scripture and suddenly, God only cares about Calvinsts...

So much for the walls that Christ came to tear down. Calvin would have them re-built...

What an incredibly ignorant and inaccurate statement! I know of no Calvinists who claim that God only cares about Calvinists. The question is not and has never been about the scope of the Gospel call. The question has always been who will respond how, and why.

I know of no Calvinists who believes the Gospel should be withheld from ANY person, regardless of ethnicity, color, economic status or any other criteria. That is a spurious claim.

“I know of no Calvinists who claim that God only cares about Calvinists.”

Really? I know that the Calvinists all believe that God loves them because He pulled their names out of the Bingo wheel, but what about the bulk of humanity?

The WCF says that:

“7. The rest of mankind God was pleased, according to the unsearchable counsel of his own will, whereby he extendeth or withholdeth mercy, as he pleaseth, for the glory of his sovereign power over his creatures, to pass by; and to ordain them to dishonor and wrath for their sin, to the praise of his glorious justice.”

So God loves those that he sends to everlasting hellfire?

I must agree with Frumanchu.

Calvinists don’t care where God finds the elect. They are not necessarily Calvinists, although we would hope that most Calvinists are.
