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.)

God is COMMANDING all men everywhere to repent. Yet most aren't. Doesn't this mean that some men are stronger than God? How can anyone resist a direct command by God?

And if God knows who is going to repent and who isn't, then why is he wasting time commanding every man to repent? Why doesn't he just command the elect to repent?
