To both Robert and Matthew, the above is almost the very
OPPOSITE to what Reformed theology and Calvinism teach,
and I think, Bart teaches, but I not sure about him.
They claim that God has the moral, just, and whatever
RIGHT to keep from all men these needs. And in fact,
they teach that He purposely keeps all men from these
things (except for a certain small caste which cannot
be changed.)
