Now if you are a Calvinist you have the solution to this dilemma......

Apparently unlike the Calvinists, I don't need to have a solution of my own.

God has the solution. I'm happy to leave it in His hands.

And whatever that solution is, it does not change my responsibility to be obedient to the Great Commission.

No the problem is your construct does not understand the God of the Bible.

We are told to have the mind of Christ..HE knew His Father and His Fathers plan..The Father was not a mystery to Jesus, Corin. The gospel MUST be preached...without the gospel there is NO salvation...scripture tell us that man is without excuse..We know that if a man is elect of God the gospel will be preached to him..as God has decreed it as so..

So the Calvinist goes out and preaches as he knows that NO man will be saved without the Bible being preached to him...THAT is the reason for the great commission..

You believe the gospel is not necessary ..and that if you are lucky or good maybe just maybe the heathans will hear and respond.

The Calvinists KNOW that if a man is elect of God the gospel will be preached to him and the man will respond in accord with the decree of God!
