I think you are closer to the correct point.
God did not 'decree' for Satan to attack Job, but He certainly allowed it to happen within certain bounds.
And I think this is the gravest error of Calvin. Calvin would (or did) say that that was decreed by God. Scripture refutes that idea...
Couldn't help noticing how many "people" here post anonymously while pretending to be "Christian".
That way they can be ignoramuses and unaccountable.
Like a High School clique.
Also, not out of character for HAC.
Hasn't changed in 20 years here.
This ENTIRE post ignored the whole point of the OP.
And I think you are aware but you are so arrogant that you think you are the FFF pope and official spokesman for Calvin.
You are stuck on Augustinianism.
It was he who introduced:

None of you guys on the Calvin cheer squad have even bothered to address any of my posts refuting Calvin and his Theological Determinism. Many atheist philosophers hold the SAME...
Rhetoric.
Why did God take Enoch before his sins were paid for by Christ?
What about Elijah?
Why was Lazarus resurrected before Calvary or the 'Rapture' ?
Does God have favorites?
Theological Determinism and/or Christian Fatalism. Same net effect as Calvinism.
