Too many times we focus on the individual points. As it has been said, already, they are interconnected such that to doubt one is to deny them all.

It seems to me that what people have the most difficulty with is accepting the underlying truth of God's Sovereignty.

The depraved human heart will accept a god after their own design and choosing, but by nature we are at emnity with the Sovereign God of Scripture.

So, to me it is not so much the particular points that are hard for people to accept, but it is the Sovereign God that people by nature refuse to bow down to.
