Just in case you guys missed it on the other thread, I would like your interpetation of this verse:

Act 17:30 Truly, then, God overlooking the times of ignorance, now He strictly commands all men everywhere to repent,

If in Calvinistic thought only the elect are ever going to come to repentence and the rest are doomed, then how come Paul, who had a direct experience with the Lord God Jesus Christ, tells us in inspired scripture that all men everywhere are being commanded to repent?

Just in case you missed it, here is my answer on the other thread:

"Act 17:30 Truly, then, God overlooking the times of ignorance, now He strictly commands all men everywhere to repent, I would like to get the Calvinist interpetation of this verse."

Calvinist interpretation: God strictly commands all men everywhere to repent.

(It's what I preach! Never mind that the elect will repent and believe, and the rest will continue to wallow in their sin.)

As I told you there...ALL men are commanded to repent...but they do not choose to Doug..Men may do exactly as they choose
