If one doesn't understand this?
2Peter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
NOT "Noah's flood!" (note the word "heavens")
Nor, if one doesn't understand Rev.12 connects partially with 2Peter 3:5?
You will NEVER understand the "election of GRACE!"
NOR, "Foreknowing", OR "Predestining!"
Does this mean if one is NOT "foreknown", or "predestined", and has believed, and believing, that "whosoever will may come", to the Cross of Christ, and believe in their heart, Christ was raised from the dead, by the Spirit of God, is NOT saved?
NO!
Weaning OFF THE MILK!
It's NOT "easy!" It's NOT "fun" either! But, is of THE UTMOST NECESSITY, this be done!

U
Sorry you are taking it personally, but it was your choice to come to this thread and defend Calvinism, which you have every right to do.
Everything needs to stand up to scrutiny. We are called to test.
If it was shot down then perhaps this "systematic theology" is vulnerable and suspect therefore worthy of a second, third, fourth.... review?

In Romans 8:5-9, Paul writes(or has it dictated?) about the two types of people in the world, the lost and saved.
I will use the King James Bible to appease my King James Bible only friends
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Those who are after(following) the flesh, are carnally minded, are in the flesh, are at enmity with God, all are the lost. These people can not please God in any way, seeing they are absent God’s Spirit. Those in the flesh hate God.
Those who are after(following) the Spirit, are those who are saved. Those who are saved love God. E has changed their hatred of Him into love. Those who love God, have been born(birth has already taken place) of Him.(1 John 4:7)

IMPOSES, is pretty strong! But, I can say, that the Creator of your soul, "knows" PRECISELY which "BUTTONS TO PUSH!" And How long to push them! And patiently allowing that person time to "steep!" Before "Pushing them again!" (don't ask me how I know this! But?...it is a true story!)
Now, you are getting into "IRRESISTABLE GRACE!"
