So if Thor hits you with a board and pokes your eyes out, you will love him?
Paul had a conversion experience - a big one. That it was a loving God made all the difference. This is the point.
Calvinism is a cruel distortion of our loving God.
Of course it was a loving God. That’s not the question.
The question was did this loving God simply nudge Paul or overwhelm him?
You opt for nudge (and you think it took even less to get your attention.)
Scripture tells us God did more than nudge. A lot more. He took a slayer of Christians, threw him to the ground, terrified him, blinded him, all to enable him to serve the living God, Jesus Christ.
He does the same for you and me, whether you know it or not.
