Calvin would agree that it is our responsibility to accept God. Calvin would not agree that we could reject God.

This is the problem.

If we cannot reject Him, then we cannot accept Him. It's a cognitive disconnect.

That is why I come to these threads so rarely. I can't argue against insanity.

I'm not sure I follow your logic. God gives us to tools to come to Him and we come to Him with the tools He provides. I don't understand how difficult this is to understand or what seems to be the disconnect. After all we sing, "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see" or "...through the eyes of sinful men thy glory may not see."

So much for Amazing Grace or Holy, Holy, Holy. I don't think people think of the words they are singing anymore.

As far as the insanity, I truly understand your point.
