First, the works you proffer are not of grace -- they are of the human
will which you claim is untimately free from God's control. They are
"of yourselves". Not only this, but your works are flatly contradicted
by Scripture. You claim that for a man to be born again that he must
first make a free will choice. But John says that the new birth is not
the result of the human will.

Second, on what basis do you claim that an absolutely sovereign God is
"infinitely more evil than Satan"?

Well, that's what's being contested -- whether or not Gary and God say
the same thing. Gary says that the Calvinist god acts unjustly. The
primary complaint seems to be that creating vessels of wrath devoted to
destruction is unjust. I'm curious to know where, in Scripture, we find
that this is actually unjust -- and not something that just happens to
offend Gary's sensibilities.

You wrote something in another post on Matthew 5:45-48; I'll take a look
at that in more depth in a little while.
