I agree that there are covenant curses and blessings. The reprobate are cursed.

I would argue that all things work to the bad for those who hate God and are not called according to his purpose.
This is a cute one laugh except that the reprobate IMO are called according to His purpose:

Quote
Rom 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

Jude 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is to equivocate over the word "purpose". The verse I referenced has to do with the purpose of blessing and glory. Moreover, in the context of this discussion, reprobates do not receive blessings or grace, just goodness. There is a difference that is profound. I'm delighted to see that you agree that God in his wisdom has ordained the reprobate to his final end.

Blessings,

Ron
