Not quite, you are missing a lot.What did the post say ? Thats what Im saying
According to what I understand, Calvinists/Reformed teach that the fall is when mankind was cursed with Totally Depravity and destined to go to hell.
Calvinists also teach that Jesus died to provide Limited Atonement for the people chosen to receive Unconditional Election, which is salvation from hell.
Calvinists then teach that the people chosen to receive the Unconditional Election have no ability to go to hell because God's Irresistible Grace results in the Preservation of the Saints.
Therefore, according to Calvinism, the fall is when God decreed that billions of other people would go to hell with no possible hope of salvation.
Can you please explain how God decreeing that billions of other people are going to hell with no possible hope of salvation is necessary in order to conform a small number of people into the image of Christ?The Fall was necessary in that God through it had determined that the redeemed would be conformed into the image of Christ His Son Rom 8:28-30
