If someone gives you a gift, is it yours, or theirs?

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9.

"If someone gives you a gift, is it yours"

Yup.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that all who believed in Him may have life eternal..."

Doesn't say "So that all who God chose over everyone else," it says so that all who believe, all who have faith. I've heard all the pointless Calvinassed twistings of scripture and I don't want to hear them again. You calling Christ a liar does not uplift or honor God, so just cut the crap.

According to the Calvinists we are so vile we cannot even make one right choice. So, who did you kill today?

Oh, you chose not to kill anyone? How can you do that?! Calvin says you're incapable of making the right choice (even though God says you can in scripture!). Just go screw with the head of some impressionable punk, I'll just put you where you belong if you pester me any more, pus-slinger.
