Then why do you seem to have a problem saying that God rescues some and leaves others in their sins? If, according to you, God has the right to take the life of the righteous, how much more does He have the right to leave the wicked in their wicked ways?
And how much more does He have the right the slay the wicked? I am still waiting on @Lady Crosstalk to answer where God has the right to take innocent lives.

To take an innocent life is murder. Murder is a sin. If God has this right then He is able to sin. Her theology is on a downward spiral heading towards blasphemy.

She just showed her entire polemic against Calvinism to be a complete misnomer, inconsistent, and baseless.

And that's not even the point. God was calling all of them (referring to Psalm 95:11) to repentance. If Irresistible Grace were true, they would not have resisted God in the wilderness. Yet they did.

That is all.

You're assuming that every call is the 'special' call, or the 'irresistible' call. Not every reference to 'call' means the irresistible call.

We're all waiting for answers. Over and again we've stumped them, exposed their flaws, and they get quiet.

Yes, we've noticed.

We have answered all their objections to giving God all the glory.

1 Peter 1:16 -- Our holiness it to reflect His; meaning if He tells us not to take an innocent life, that is because God would never take an innocent life

But she said God has the right to violate one of His attributes, His holiness. :(

This is not possible [and we both know it, this is for those who may be reading and just not wanting to comment] because we are told to be like God. To put it simply:

1.) Is it a good thing to be like God?
- If yes, and God kills the righteous, should we not also kill the righteous?
- If no, then why would God, whom is perfect, have qualities which would be wrong for us to reflect?

If man thinks he can violate God's decree that He chose, not them, by voting themselves into heaven by their determination, then it is ok (to them) to attribute to God's nature what He cannot do.

It is called (by attempt) "You rub my back, I'll rub yours."

This also makes God a liar. The logic is as follows

1.) Babies are innocent
2.) We know some babies die in infancy
3.) Death is not a result of sin
4.) God told Adam that the only reason he would die is disobedience. God must have been lying to Adam, because God said the only reason for death was sin [unrighteousness[. If righteous babies die, either God is a liar, or they are NOT innocent!

Be holy as I am holy, but don’t emulate Me as I kill innocent folk, okay?

Nailed it. It gets bigger like a snowball rolling down a ski slope.
