What I said was, “None of us has any merit that requires God to accept us.” And we don’t.
But God loves us...that pesky “For God so loved the world” phrase that Calvinists ignore. And in his grace and mercy, he has made a way for us to be saved. All we need do is say yes.
Saying yes is not a work requiring God’s acceptance, but God has said he will do so. So it is all about who God is and what God has decided - including his decision to give a choice to men without any future.
Calvinists don't ignore that verse, nor any of the Bible. God does love the world. The world was created by Christ, for Christ, through Christ. How could God not love the world?
You set up the pins of your own imagination and then you knock them down. You don't get points for playing both hands.
