Fortunately, Calvin was wrong on his double predestination dogma, among other things Then why does He say: "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him (John 6:44); and repeats Himself in John 6:65 "And He was saying, For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father."
If God the Son, repeats Himself, then maybe the argument is not with Calvin, but maybe with the Lord Jesus Christ Himself??

John 6 one of my favorites, tell me; how many time does Christ proclaim the necessity of eating His flesh and drinking His blood in order to have life? Proof texting for fun, profit and salvation is such a poor substitute for living the gospel that I just haven't the heart to play it any more. If you want to reconcile the concept of a loving, merciful God with Calvin's monster god, go ahead, I'm sure some bystanders will be happy to view the use of scripture isolated from the whole, devoid of greater context and contrary to orthodox Christianity to be interesting.
