Sure: Since 96% of the world's Christians are NOT Calvinists, then apparently they don't see biblical support for Calvinism in the Bible. Only 4% of Christians are Calvinists, so only 4% of Christians think the Bible supports it. (Obviously if they believed that the Bible
DOES support it, they'd be Calvinists like you, right?)
They are the vast majority of Christians. They are the main body of Christians, and you belong to a small "cult" of Christianity that comprises only 4% of the world's Christians.
You're asking how I know that only 4% of the world's Christians are Calvinists? That's easy: I used the Internet and asked Google "How many Christians are Calvinists?" or something similar, and voila: multiple sites appeared with the answer.
As for John 5:37:
And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,
what on earth makes you think that 96% of all Christians deny that verse???!!! You will have to explain that, because I can't make sense of your claim. What makes you think that
any Christian who doesn't subscribe to Calvinism denies John 5:37??
MY invention??
"A 2011 report of the Pew Forum on Religious and Public Life estimated that members of Presbyterian or Reformed churches make up
7% of the 801 million Protestants globally, or approximately
56 million people.[7] Today, the World Communion of Reformed Churches, which includes some United Churches, has 80 million believers."
It is widely claimed that there are about 2 billion Christians in the world.
80 million is
4% of 2 billion, if my math is correct.
I was being generous by choosing 4%, Jim. If we go with the 56 million number, then the percentage is even
LESS. What do you say to THIS guy:
"John H. Gerstner was a Professor of Church History at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and Knox Theological Seminary and an authority on the life and theology of Jonathan Edwards."
R.C. Sproul was one of his students. He estimated "that only 2% are cl***ically Calvinistical when it comes to predestination and election."

So thanks, Jim, for stating that
the Book of Mormon is as non-fictional as the claimed number of Calvinists is!
There's hope for you yet!
Yes. I actually went through the whole book and wrote down all the mistakes and false claims that I found.
I think I can do that.
Oh ye of little faith.
I guess Wikipedia and its sources, and John H. Gerstner, are desperate, too? How much more proof would you need before you would believe?
YOUR desires that more than 4% of Christians be Calvinists, do not make the truth into a lie.
Uh, James, hello?
I come to THIS site almost every day!!!
Are you sure about that?
But he has "repented" of his belief that Calvinism is correct, while you have not. How does that make him as Calvinist as you are?
Yeah, he's just anti-
CALVINISM. And so am I.
