Thomas that was a good post. I wanted to give you a link discussing the 5 points of Calvinism.
We, as Christians, constantly have to deal with pre-conceived teaching and falsehoods that is very difficult to overcome. The only way that I was able to start translating the true doctrines of the Bible was a mind shift brought about by questioning the whys of my thinking that was not working in my Spiritual life. Boy, can peple do a number on fresh, healthy young minds.
I know that God has blessed me numerous times since I started seeking my own understanding of His Word by reading and listening to what I read and comparing it to pre-conceived teachings.
God save all of us from religious dunderheads who preach creed over sound Bible doctrine. They are going to regret it one day.
The 5 points of Calvinism;

Romans 9:21
21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 22What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. 26And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
