Starting with the dispersing of the nations puts God's choosing in proper context. And of course, his choosing Israel as the people through whom His promise would come was also His rejecting of not only Esau but of every other people group for that role.

So what about Ephesians? Galatians? 1 Peter? What about God calling people. The bible doesn't say we called on God in order to join His family. In fact, apart from his Sovereign intervention, no man seeks for God.

[MrNichols]

Amen !
This was very helpful and gave me a better understanding of calvinism .

[matt.]

The Bible definitely teaches God sovereignty in election for salvation. Not just in Romans, but throughout the Bible. Scholars have to do mental gymnastics to escape that, which they do. Plain reading of the entire text of the Bible (not just Romans) teaches God's Sovereign election and man's responsibility for their choices.

"You did not choose me, I chose you..."
John 15:16

We know God is sovereign. Completely.

No one believes we are born again before being chosen. It is still the Gospel that calls us to Himself.

We give all glory to God as without Him, we can do NOTHING.

[LUKEcv]

What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, (Romans 9:22-23, NASB95).

Brothers, please read AW Pink on the sovereignty of god before going any further.
I do appreciate your tone and benevolence, there would be much more clarity if both sides continue in this spirit. Thank you all .

The Bible absolutely does not teach calvinism

[michealferrell]

In context I think it does .
I read a book from Dr Sam Waldron ( the end times made simple ) where he answered many of my Dispensational questions.

Worse explanation I’ve ever heard on Calvinism. Let’s not compare me choosing donuts with Gods sovereign choosing as a wise and gracious God

[Alanpless]

Weak argument in my opinion. That God freely chooses on whom He will have mercy is inescapable in the Scriptures. It’s all over. God is truly sovereign weather I, or you, believe that or not - He is still sovereign over all things, especially over who receives His saving grace! It’s a humbling thing to finally realize God lovingly chose me when I was yet His enemy.
