Hi C.M.H. [Linked Image]

There are answers for your questions; good biblical answers which I believe only historic "Calvinism" can answer. However, as strange as it may seem, I am not going to offer anything to you at this time. Why? Because I noticed that when I saw this new thread, it had "12" views . . . that is 12 people had at least read what you posted. And not ONE SINGLE PERSON offered anything to your sincere and all too familiar questions. This in my estimation is shameful that a dozen people here, most more than likely holding to the Reformed Faith, would not engage you in any way. I would like to apologize for this unfortunate and embarrassing conduct on the part of the members here.

I am confident, however, that there will be one, perhaps more believers here who will understand your consternation and honor your humble request for the truth of God by offering you some explanations. In the interim, I would point you to a couple of relevant sections of The Highway: Predestination, and General Articles on Calvinism, where you will find many articles which deal with the subjects you have mentioned.

As Arnold would say.... I'll be back!
