To those Christians who hold to an Calvinist view which can be summed up in the acronym T.U.L.I.P or

Total depravity
Unconditional election
Limited atonement
Irresistible grace
Perseverance of the saints

Also Calvinists stress, denial of free-will, predestination and the absolute sovereignty of God, when studying this doctrine the question arises for me if god is absolutely sovereign, did not he create evil in allowing Eve to eat from the forbidden fruit?. I would answer yes because god in his complete sovereignty could have easily stopped Eve from partaking from eating the forbidden fruit.

I know a Calvinist who is Calvinist only when he's blind stinkin' paralytic drunk. Otherwise he doesn't give a shit about Christianity. In fact, I brought him the dinosaur thread a couple weeks ago and he just about had a heart attack he laughed so hard.

Would you consider Statler Waldorf as a turnip since he is a Calvinist?

He would have been a turnip even if he wasn't a tulip.
