Not following. Please elaborate.
Agree that was not very clear.

You have stated on this thread you follow the teachings of Calvinism meaning TULIP.

But the God of TULIP is not the God of scripture, because the God of scripture does not select some for eternal life and deny others eternal life.

The God of the Bible, yes He gets glory in all his actions and when He reveals Himself.

I’m glad you put it that way, the God of Calvin does seem to differ from the God of Arminius.
Does your God give all of humanity eternal life? 😏

I have fairly good knowledge of TULIP doctrine and really do not know the Arminius view. I rather doubt I would agree with it either but I have not read enough to know.

Having said this, scripture makes it clear God is willing to offer all of humanity eternal life.

Yes,
But sadly the Majority of humanity has Rejected God for their own Reasons :(
Your God leaves it up to the will and power of man?
I guess @HeIsHere was right, we do serve different Gods. My God says it is not the man who wills or runs.
Romans 9 is great, y’all should read it sometime.

I never stated He leaves it up to the will and power of man, you are extrapolating beyond what I wrote.

It is impossible to converse with Calvinists from what I can see, it is always comes down to a binary opposition.

Tiresome.

My God asks everyone to just Believe He is real. Then He is able to offer them Salvation.

No one believes they need to be Saved if they don't believe that God is real.

The moment God becomes REAL to a person, God fulfills Ephesians unregenerate to regenerate.

No One Rejects God once they believe He is Real and Exists because they also know they needed to be Saved.

Ummm settle down. I was talking to @The_Watchers_2017 Read it again, the only thing I attributed to you was what you said in a previous post about serving a different God.

Nobody else wants to take this lay up? C’mon, even some of you Arminians have to be cringing right now. 😬
Goodnight.

Dan 4:34 But at the end of those days I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven, and my sanity was restored to me. Then I praised the Most High, and I honored and glorified Him who lives forever: “For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom endures from generation to generation.

In Dan 4:34 I highlighted the red showing Neb did the doing, in blue, and the green shows what God did.

What was your thoughts on Dan 4:35?

You should run away!

If God makes it so all humans can look at Creation and see God in it, like looking at the Grand Canyon and thinking only God could do this, then everything in my last post is as accurate as it gets.

That means people have the right to CHOOSE to place their faith in Jesus Christ.
The natural man, before God quickens him to the new spiritual life (Eph 2:1), will not, and indeed, cannot choose to know the things of the Spirit.(1 Cor 2:14).

What I'm trying to say is that God gets glory by revealing Himself. He gets just as much glory from revealing His love, grace, and mercy as He does from revealing Himself as sovereign, just, and holy.
By revealing the former, generally the effect on humans is considered favorable. In revealing Himself in the latter, the effects on humans can be considered detrimental.
But God is glorified either way because more of Him is revealed.
Many people glorified Hitler as their idea of sovereign , just, and I daresay maybe even holy even though, generally, the effects were considered detrimental. On the other hand, every knee will bow and give glory to God when He judges the wicked, as He sees fit to judge them and not according to any man's counsel in how He should carry it out.
