Baloney. In any event, if Calvinism is true it wouldn't matter what my sister teaches her kids, would it?

If you were a Calvinist, you'd be on a "Wait and see" type of basis." It would depend on if God chose you before the foundation of the world to be one of the "Elect." If He didn't, then, you would be cast into the Lake of Fire (Hell) to suffer throughout eternity. If God chose you to be part of the "Elect", then, you'd go to Heaven. It's as simple as that. That's what they believe. By the way, they're WRONG!
They also believe Babies that are aborted or die at birth are part of that same system. They either go to Hell, if they weren't chosen or to Heaven if they were chosen. It's quite disgusting actually.

Hey, you don't need to convince me about Calvinism being a load of bunk. I have no truck with it whatsoever but then as you probably know I don't hold with any sort of doctrine of suffering - but best fodder for elsewhere.
You're in for a BIG surprise! :hammer:
As opposed to God not being immutable; basically being a fallible human with undue power. Your falsehood is what makes atheists believe God some kid in the sky frying people with a magnifying glass.
Because God foreknew the fate of the world, He decided how He would conduct His will and presence before the beginning. Calvinism is an inarguable theology for anyone who believes God is ACTUALLY GOD. It's funny how those as yourself make God so much like, well, yourselves

Doubtful even if your above claims are true. What it has to do with the topic at hand is rather a mystery also. If you believe in Calvinism then it simply wouldn't matter what anyone teaches their kids. They could instruct them in the magic arts and read Lovecraft and Crowley to them all day long, it wouldn't matter if they were part of the 'elect'. By the same token they could read the bible all day long and if they're 'reprobate' it wouldn't make a darn bit of difference either would it?
Are you a Calvinist?

Just because you do doesn't mean it's true either. Kind of an impasse on this one GM...

Eh, go try and bait someone else if you're looking for that kind of stuff GM. Not interested.
