4 & 5 point Calvinism teaches that man has no free will & all things, even sin itself, is a Divine decree by God but by His action not by His permission. He is all knowing, transcends time, is the embodiment of holiness, love, mercy, justice, righteousness, sovereignty & goodness. So this "man" on strings is all people are. Just puppets without identities or wills that are still responsible for their sin. This comes from a very bad interpretation of total depravity & original sin. Man has the nature passed down from Adam & Eve but not the guilt of Adam's sin. Man's spirit is dead meaning the perfect union is broken but the individual soul isn't. This teaching portrays the image of the puppeteer above. PURE BLASPHEMY!
