The point is not about Calvinism it is about a difference in theology - yours and mine. In other words how we both read the Bible. After we have read the Bible we can ask, "Are we correct or wrong in our understanding and comprehension?" and "Whom do we agree with?"
1. You are judging the Reformed church and stating your disagreement. 2. We could say exactly the same back to you. If you reject the Reformed confessions and state your own reading of and exegesis of Scripture is superior or more accurate, then that is your (word of man - ie UPS). 3. I've been on this site for years so I already recognise your position and identify you as Arminian/free will theologically. Which of course is why you are anti-Calvinism, and could not agree with those references. That is usually the case. God be with you.

Calvinism is Biblically accurate and entirely Biblical in doctrine. For example TULIP is straight out of Scripture and contains only Bible teaching. The WCF was written by such Calvinists and also reflects accurately the doctrines of Scripture. Also the Canons of Dordt are entirely Biblically accurate. Do you agree?
