If you obeyed it would mean something to God.
The whole world including you stands guilty before God, Romans 3:19.
No flesh will be justified in his sight by obedience to the law, Romans 3:20.
The Reformed Tradition holds itself as being the original gospel of the early Christians before Christianity was adulterated by Catholicism. And not just them, but Abraham, Issac, Moses, David, and the rest.
Calvinism is a reform against heresy.

The reformed gospel is one of winning the cosmic lottery that rejects faith. The bible teaches that belief is a requirement no matter how you look at it whether gift or command.
Not really.
The double predestinarians made you think that of Calvinism. Calvinism does not reject free will- it emphasizes on sovereign election.
Calvinists hold to that as well.

I usually have no problem with moderate Calvinists. It's the hypers I detest.
While it's painful to say that there are actually 'moderate' Calvinists, I myself am neither moderate or hyper. I am simply a Calvinist.

Only those who reject Jesus and keep sinning stand guilty.
Paul is speaking about how circumcision and the sacrifice of animals will no longer justify anyone, as it used to do.

If you could accept that Jesus is the savior of the world I would have no problem with you but of course you wont.

I am a believer in double- predestination . . That is, God has determined the fate of all men.
I also believe God blessed man, created in His image, with moral agency (conscious will) to cause, act, and effect moral good.
IOW's I am of the historic Christian Reformed faith that believes and teaches both the absolute sovereignty of God, while upholding the human responsibility of all men to submit and obey God in all their willful choices and actions, according to the revealed holy Law of God.
One side of this Truth, without the other, produces theological error.

Unless you're positing universalism, which is universally heretical, you aren't making a single point in that statement.

God knows the fate of all men. Big difference.

The atonement was universal. Jesus is called the 2nd Adam or savior of the world.
Universalism is the belief that all people will receive salvation.
Are everyone going to receive salvation?

Everyone has received Salvation 'in Christ'.

No difference at all.
What God knows will happen, is what God has ordained will happen.
Such are His attributes of omniscience and omnipotence; neither dare any mere creature deny!
So everybody will receive salvation, yes or no?

Did God ordain Satan to rebel and Adam to fall?
