Here's what I found

tr.v. sub·dued, sub·du·ing, sub·dues
1. To subjugate (a region or people, for example) by military force.
2.
a. To bring under control by physical force, persuasion, or other means; overcome: subdued the wild horse; subdued the rebellion in the party ranks.
b. To make less intense or prominent; reduce or tone down: I was unable to subdue my excitement about the upcoming holiday.
3. To bring (land) under cultivation: Farmers subdued the arid lands of Australia.
[Middle English subduen, alteration (influenced by Latin subdere, to subject) of Old French suduire, to seduce, from Latin subdūcere, to withdraw (probably influenced by Latin sēdūcere, to seduce) : sub-, away; see dūcere in Indo-European roots.]
I don't see how you see that Calvin was forced. All along we have showed you that in the Scriptures that God changes our hearts. It could be by persuasion or for us because we are sinners in the heart. We would not choose God remember nobody seeks after God.

Where did you get this?

Did you notice that little word "force" in your definition?

Yes, I also noticed there was the word persuasion is there also were you able to see that?

Sure I did. That is why I asked where you got it from? Even the definition you supplied says "force"

Either way, Which one is it. Is it by force or persuasion? It can't be both. Which one was Calvin talking about?

You can as easily say...

coerced the wild horse; coerced the rebellion out of the party ranks.
