@DineshDSouza Another straw man showing you have no idea what you’re talking about. The entire book of 1 John reveals how believers know they’re saved. You seem to believe that Calvinists believe the elect are known by anyone other than God. No one knows, until they believe
@DineshDSouza That is true! Except for those things for which he expressly says he chose, he elected, he predestined, he foreordained, he planned before the foundations of the earth.
@DineshDSouza So “world” must mean every single person who ever lived? Or maybe it means “without distinction” or people from the entire world, all nations and all ethnicities? You’ve already destroyed God’s sovereignty now you’re destroying Christ’s sufficiency.
@DineshDSouza You are misrepresenting Scripture and what it says about God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility. Both are 100% true and yet a mortal paradox. Scripture is full of co-existent truths that are seemingly paradoxical to our human mind. Another is mercy and justice.
