“Therefore as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.”

Agree... continuing on...
15 But the gift is NOT like the trespass.
17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
The person who is chosen does not receive but is forced.

This started in the Not By Works thread, the Stirring the Pot thread and now here.
I have followed a good part of it and every possible scripture and every argument which completely destroys this dogma has been presented repeatedly.
They deny, avoid, ridicule, every tactic imaginable to suppress the truth.
Make no mistake, this is a cultic mindset is seeking converts and consider also that CARM, Got Questions, Gospel Coalition and most all bible commentators are Calvinists like John Gill, A. T. Robertson, MacArthur etc., etc.,

I rarely present individual texts because I despise the practice of proof texting, so to accuse me of cherry picking is absolutely out of touch with my methodology.
cv's accusation of philosophizing is much closer, but that's because I prefer to wrestle with what the proof texts presented mean and all I've gotten in response to speaking of matters of context has either been crickets or other proof texts.
As for why I ignored most of your and cv's questions, it's the same reason that Jesus ignored the accusers of the adulterous woman in John 8.
