You are the one who does not understand the teaching. That does not make you a bad person, just confused.Nevertheless it is what Calvinism teaches. If you yourselves do not believe that, then you do not understand what you are espousing.
We are not being hurt at all Charity.'Of these things put them in remembrance,
charging them before the Lord
that they strive not about words to no profit,
but to the subverting of the hearers.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,

First there is Limited Atonement, the idea that Christ died for only a select few.

Since when has hunt the thimble been a requirement for following and understanding a theme?
If you go to the original link, I changed it so that it links closer to the end of that thread where it will become more clear what I am talking about.

You have showed yourself to be an internet jerk, who posts like a troll. I will not cast Pearl's before swine.
If you show yourself to be sincere, I will help.
Life is too short to waste on trolls.
