Right. And hyper-Calvinism is junk theology fit for the rubbish heap.
R.C. Sproul Jr. is CLEARLY quoted as saying the GOD IS THE AUTHOR OF EVIL, and GOD CREATED EVIL. An outrageous heresy.
However the Holy Ghost says:
Ask. Seek. Knock. Come. Take.
Those are they that obtain the truth of God via His Holy Spirit. Those who CHOOSE to refuse.....don't.
Luk 11:13
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall
your heavenly Father
give the Holy Spirit to them
that ask him?
Deu 4:29
But if from thence
thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
Mat 7:7
Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Rev 22:17
And the Spirit and the bride say,
Come. And let him that heareth say,
Come. And let him that is athirst
come.
And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

This is one of the most pertinent passages in all the OT on this topic. Very few nowadays understand it, but it hold true nevertheless.
2Ki 6:5
But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
2Ki 6:6
And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast
it in thither; and the iron did swim.
2Ki 6:7
Therefore said he,
Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
