Why bother getting an education if we don't now who will be sucessful at life?
I mean the risk is tremendous. The out initial outlay/debt of just a 4 year degree, let alone a masters or doctorate, Faultering econmic times, Globaly tied ecconomies mean far more people foreign and domestic pour into a limited job market.. (I heard on the news last night that law students are at an all time low for these very reasons) All of these things means that a large number who go to school for a specific purpose will not be able to find a job in their perfered field, let alone find a job that pays well enough for them to be considered sucessful.
Why bother getting married if we don't know who will get divorced. For that matter why even date?
Why bother excersize or eat right if anyone of us for any reason could get/have cancer or any other mality and die?
Why? Because we do not know the outcome, therefore we follow our hearts, and do the best with what we have been given.
If we haven't been given anything we can ask for it.
Like wise if anything about Heaven, God, or eternal life sparks your intrest then it would be in your best interest to take what God has given you and be faithful to this intrest and activly seek Him out as He has commanded we do.

I ask because I have noticed that some Calvinists express that nonCalvinists aren't Christian.
Again, Calvin has nothing to do with who is and is not a Christian. Only Christ can make that determination. He said we must be faithful to what we have been given. If Chad and GC are faithful to what God gave them and it has lead them to where they are at Spiritually then I don't see any fault in that no matter what they believe, but again I am not the one they must answer to either.
