Dear John,
This may be too simplistic, but I just don't get it when others criticize calvinism because God desires that none should perish. That is unless they are true universalists. If God is God He can ensure the salvation of all. The argument against an unloving God of the Calvinists holds true with them as well as their view holds that God sits idly by watching man perish.


Ah, but you are forgetting that God is bound by the Prime Directive, the Law Above All Laws, the Eternal Covenant of FreeWill (on terms graciously offered to him by Adam), in which he has promised to always-be-nice-and-never-ever-ever-ever-interfere-in-anyone-else's-business-because-it-might-hurt-their-feelings, and this because he knows that the Most Important Thing In The Universe is for all his children to be happy all the time and do whatever they think is right and never be told or made to do anything different, since they are, after all, just like him.

In Christ,
Paul S
