Calvin's answer would be that God has once for all determined both whom he would admit to salvation and whom he would condemn to destruction.

You wrote - Rephrase:

God has once for all determined whom he would grace with salvation out of the mass of those condemned to destruction. Notice the verb tense. We have already been condemned to destruction. Some us will be under shed grace and the Lion will pass over us.

Calvin has always been quoted as damning some to hell. I think he'd say it my way instead of yours.

"Calvin has always been quoted as damning some to hell."

Where please?

I do believe that my reading of The Institutes andCalvin's Commentaries show that Woody's formulation is much closer to that of John Calvin.

Do you just make stuff up for the heck of it?
