"#Calvinism is wrong. All men are called to God. He does not create some people just to be damned with no hope of receiving salvation."

Not how it works. God:

- Gave Man free will.
- Is still Sovereign.
- Therefore: knows who'll turn to Christ of their own volition.
- Therefore: knows the Elect.

Those rejecting Christ do so with real free will, and God knows who they are.

God isn't bound to Creation. We are.

Personally I think the very idea of a Loving God that would condemn a person to eternal torment for one human lifetime of not managing to believe the right dogma is completely and totally absurd and contradictory. God created us imperfect. To then punish us forever for being imperfect would be ...

Your first bullet point already disproves Calvinism.

Calvin’s just a guy. An -ism of a guy’s name is a bit suss regardless of if it’s right or wrong
