Absolutely not. Regeneration is a work of the Holy Spirit in which the Spirit of God supernaturally intervenes in the Sinners life and revives their spiritually dead heart and draws them to Christ.
What you are calling evil is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Let us look at the Gospel of John... John 3:1-15 1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.6That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.7Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’8The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” 9 Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?” 10 Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
The Spirit which regenerates the sinner goes where it wants too. Jesus uses the word 'born' here in two instances. One for being physically born our birthday :), and the other our birth in the Spirit. When one is born, it is something that happens to one not what one does. Your mother birthed you, you had absolutely no free will choice in the matter. Your mamma pushed you out and you took your first breath of air and lived, same with the Spirit of God.
My God is saves every single person that he is fix'in to save. Not a single one of them are lost to the second death. Your god is unable to save those whom he wishes. IF God looked down the corridor of time to see who would believe the Gospel and turn to him. The number of believers would be absolutely zero. (see Romans 3 & 9)
That depends on what you are trying to represent. I do not know what you are representing in your first four posts, but it is most definitely NOT Calvinism. Represent true Calvinism, and not a stawman and perhaps we could have a discussion on it.
