No, on the contrary, my point was that I can entirely appreciate the Reformed stance on several doctrines. That is, I am fully aware of the Scriptures that support their position, both their explicit nature and their abundance. And on that basis alone, I would totally agree with them.
I just feel that there is also a substantial amount of texts that conflict with the Reformed conclusion, and therefore, I feel that they've failed to integrate, and harmonize these two perceived dichotomies, into a unified and balanced doctrine.
So, I don't regard the Reformed views necessarily as radical or absurd, but just not comprehensive and insightful enough.
No one asks a lame man to run a race and win, especially at the pain of death. And yet there were about 20 capital crimes in the Mosaic Law, God wiped-out countless peoples and races due to their wicked behaviour, and the over-arching principle throughout the entirety of Scripture, is 'be Holy, as I am Holy'. No one requests or demands this from a being incapable of being Holy, let alone righteous or able to choose good.
