Steve, ever hear of Job and his "friends?"
Have you ever hear of "free will" Baptists?
Have you ever heard of John Wesley of England? Whitefield?
This argument has been going on for centuries now.
There are high calvinists and low calvinists. There are the "in between." There is arminianism - a couple of forms of it.
There are the pentecostals, and is the "baptism of the spirit" evidenced by the speaking in tongues. Some say yes, some say no, others say all tongues speaking is of the devil, etc. The "opponents" dig in. For some it is a ball, for others it is a bawl.
Thank God the four spiritual laws you show and post from time to time---they are powerful---they would not be attacked by unrepentant sinners, just some forms of calvinism. Sinners love the four laws, and I've had the privilege of leading some to our Lord Jesus Christ using them, as I'm sure you have.
You have discovered the rediculous side of calvinism - and to be in a conversation with them is much like Job and albeit, his so-called well meaning friends.
There is a man called Steve
Who in free will does believe
He states a picture
Showing scripture
But the "opponent" won't receive
In all people there is a bias
To not believe like "me" they "lie" to us
So there is fussing and sparring
And some not-so-nice jarring
To awaken the "old nature" in us
So babies and others go to hell
It doesn't matter what you tell
So they say
That's God's way
And John 3:16 really ain't the gospel
So, Job---I wish you well---God's blessing upon you.
