We could complain to God that this isn't fair because of the way He made us; but then that is one of the reasons Christ came in His humanity-to show us that this isn't a flaw in mankind. Rather we could obey God's commands if we really wanted to as Christ did. We, children of Adam, just don't want to. That is why as Christians God has to replace our hearts of stones and "cause" us to walk in His statutes and obey His ordinances.

Think how great life would be if all men understood your brilliant synopsis.

One day, God willing.

Under the Reformed POV, this doesn't make any sense. The Reformed teach that God saves His prepicked individuals regardless of anything else, including what they know or don't know. If one was going to the Reformed hell, what would be the point? If one was going to the Reformed heaven, again, what would be the point.
