What's Wrong with Calvinism?

[TedT]

Am I supposed to explain why God planned as he did?

Then listen:
HE created us to be HIS Bride by our free will acceptance to HIS marriage proposal. Everything follows from that and if an interpretation of scripture denies it, it is wrong.

Everyone was created with a free will and an equal ability and opportunity to chose to put their faith in HIM and become chosen by HIM to be redeemed in Christ if they should ever go astray OR to rebuke HIM as a liar and become HIS eternal enemies, fit only to be damned.

HE promised those who would accept HIM as their GOD and saviour from sin would be chosen to be HIS Bride in Christ and would never be condemned but redeemed and sanctified if they should ever sin.

All sinfulness, all separation from HIM is due only to THE SINNER'S choice to rebel against HIM and is not due to any desire or choice of HIS to put us into a sinful state nor to chose by HIS will to reject someone who is able to choose to be HIS bride from becoming HIS bride by HIS rejection of them before they make their choice about HIS marriage proposal.

Anything less is a denigration of HIS loving righteousness and HIS justice.

So that differs from

No, he chose that those who would be in Christ would be holy and blameless before him in love

He did not choose who would be in Christ.

Christ is the elect, so also are those in him.

Believing in Christ places you in him.

How???

False The Father chose people in Christ before the foundation of the world Ephesians 1:4

It's a work of God 1 Corinthians 1:30

30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

Sorry, but you are far off.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (LEB) — 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.

You are not a new creation not even having been created or born

No it's true and I agree with your scripture reference. The elect are in Christ representatively B4 the foundation and B4 their sin in Adam
