Did you not will to post that? God gave you that authority in using your will.

Sometimes I think that hyper-Calvinism was a back door attack upon logic done in the name of being logical.

That's my point. God has not dealt equitably with all people. Some are wealthy, some poor. Some are educated, some not. Some have abundant opportunities, some not. Until the new covenant, salvation itself was largely available to only Israel.
On the other hand, God is always just in His dealings with mankind. He deals with all evenly in the exercise of His justice.

Just because God has an attribute or ability to do something does not automatically equate
into us being able to be or do the same thing simply because we are made in His image.

If you honestly think it does, there is something really wrong with your theology.

And Calvinism, hyper or otherwise, has zero to do with it.

In fact you saying so is just another logical fallacy.

This thread verifies our lack of omniscience.

I think CDS has people making a lot of assumptions void of logic altogether.
