<>I>"If God desires a man to have grace, that man will have grace."

"IF"? Again you are at odds with 99% of those who call themselves Christian. God gifts Grace to everyone sufficient for their Salvation. Irresistible grace is a fabrication of a French lawyer, not the Holy Spirit. It is a perversion of the concept of efficacious grace. I would encourage you to expand your knowledge beyond the musings of Calvin. Read your whole bible. Then, if you are still interested in the concept of Irresistible Grace read Congregatio de Auxiliis.

Peace be with you.

There is no where in the Bible that says God gives all men grace or even the same amount of grace. According to RCs, God gives all men transformative grace. But if that were true, God's grace is strong enough to change that man forever. The RCC somehow thinks men can rebuke the grace of God even if God wants that man for Himself.

The RCC over-estimates man and under-estimates God. It is a foolish, anti-scriptural logic.

If God wanted all men to be saved, all men would be saved. He's God. You're not.
