God chooses everyone - and they have to choose Him back. Not too complicated, really. Bible says it's His wish that NONE should perish and all should come to repentance. Choosing Him back means being born again first, receiving the Holy Spirit as the second impartation of God's spirit - most of the church doesn't understand this including famous pastors - and third we must be obedient. He doesn't change - the wages of sin is death. Usually when I start hearing the sovereignty of God junk I am ready for the next bunch of lies. He IS sovereign and as such He decided to put His word above His name and keep covenants with man. He says "You do this and I'll do this" and He also says "You don't do this and I won't do this" and He also says "Do wrong and be destroyed." The end.

He will become sealed with the Holy Spirit for eternity regardless of the outward changes in his life.

Terry Henderson If you have not placed your personal faith in Christ then you are not saved. The Bible never teaches we are saved by the faith of another. We are saved by grace through faith. Faith is not the gift, eternal life is the gift. Throughout the Scriptures, both old and new testaments, individuals are exhorted to repent and believe. Josh 24:15 CHOOSE FOR YOURSELVES TODAY whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” V 22 Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have CHOSEN FOR YOURSELVES THE LORD, to serve Him. Heb 3:7 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,“TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS Heb 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS and that He is a rewarder of THOSE WHO SEEK HIM. We are living in the last days where they will no longer endure sound doctrine. If you have not placed your personal faith in Christ then you are not saved.

To those people who commented, "He didn't choose me," I really felt that. But you know, just want to tell you that God loves you very much. He even sacrificed His only begotten Son to die for you- for us! So don't even think about that again. God wants all of us to be with Him in Heaven in eternity. Yes, God knows His "chosen one" but that doesn't mean that you're not one of them. Believe me, you can be one of them. Just have faith in Him and obey Him, that's just He wants you to do. Have faith in Him. Trust Him with all your heart. And no, God doesn't play favoritism. He listens to those who need Him. So, if you need Him, cry out to Him, He will listen to you. Yes, following God is not easy but it will be worth it until the end. Just always remember, God loves you and He's waiting for you to run back to Him. Just trust Him. God bless, Child of God.

He knows the people who will choose Him through thick and thin since we ultimately have free will, but when you are chosen, God knows your heart and faithfulness. He knew Peter would deny Him three times before he even did. Peter even said he wouldn’t deny Jesus, but Jesus still knew before it happened. This is my personal belief. God knows who will choose Him and that’s why I believe He also chose us. ❤❤❤ As disappointed and heartbroken as I have been in my life, I still know the truth. I know who my savior is no matter what.

For "God is not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL would come to repentance.". Otherwise, it would be unjust of Him to consign billions of souls to eternal conscious torment for their parents' waywardness satanic programming. The point where God's will "ends" and our will "begins" is impossible for us to define precisely. Because we are created in His image, our will is involved. If our will was not involved in establishing a relationship with Him, then we are just robots, programmed to believe what He puts into our CPU.

God chooses to those that he knows that are His and loves them cuz they are meant to be with Him cuz God loves them. And yes some others live a good life and godly life and have everything vut God loves us all vut God is willing to show and use a person that is weak and less and to use this person for power and to show God's glory through a person like this just like Moses, just like St.Paul, etc., its just how it is, but to be able to avoid this of not getting and seeing God's blessing and glory...just give in, surrender all, dont be like Pharoh even though God made Pharoh to harden of the heart, but back then is back then and now its new testament so choose now of surrender to God cuz the scriptures has been fulfilled.

John 3: 25 Therefore there arose a discussion on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purification. 26 And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him.” 27 John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven. 28 You yourselves [g]are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the [h]Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent ahead of Him.’ 29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. So this joy of mine has been made full. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

Due to the Fall of man in the garden. Sin/Death entered by way of Adam our patriarch. Because of this sin man inherently is born into the world in bondage, spiritually dead. Meaning although our will is free in desire & action, it is perpetually led towards rebellion against God, favoring the sins of the world. Because of this bondage we are “lost” unable to save ourselves without the Grace of God. In Gods sovereignty He freely bestows His grace upon those He deems fit before the foundation of the world.(Eph 1:4) This is important because it is not based on mans desire/will, or exertion while on earth(Rom9:16) but rather on Gods Will & Mercy. It is mercy as by the Law all men are deserving of judgement. So we can rest assured that everyone who is “chosen/elected” are so according to Gods purpose that is always pure & righteous due to every further action of God being Just as it was not of obligation to save anyone to begin with.

1) "He desires and calls all to repentance." Not quite. Although God's Moral will is for all to achieve salvation (which does not happen), his effectual will, as outlined in Romans 8: 29-30 paints a very different picture; only those who are presdestined are also called. 2) "It's up to us to reject or accept his gift of salvation." Using the aforementioned passage, a predestined believer cannot reject salvation. It is not up to you or me to accept the gift. God's plan does not hindge on our self-induced choice to believe in Christ's safrifice for our sins. When we come to realize that we believe it's because God willed it to happen. In similar fashion, God also wills people to not believe, Romans 9:11, 9:22. "God just know whom will or will not." Your last part seems to imply that that a person God desperately wants to save can reject the calling. The only people who reject the calling are those who are not predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, and it is not their choice to reject anymore than it is a predestined believer's choice to believe.

@@bernardnickson1783 Romans 11: 16-24 depicts Israel as distinct from the Church: the “natural branches” are the Jews, and the “wild branches” are the Gentiles. The “olive tree” is the collective people of God. The “natural branches” (Jews) are “cut off” the tree for unbelief, and the “wild branches” (believing Gentiles) are grafted in. This has the effect of making the Jews “jealous” and then drawing them to faith in Christ, so they might be “grafted in” again and receive their promised inheritance. The “natural branches” are still distinct from the “wild branches,” so that God’s covenant with His people is literally fulfilled at the summation of time when the full number of Gentiles are brought in. In Romans 9:3, Paul is in deep sorrow for his Jewish kinsmen for the very reason of the Jews rejection of the Messiah; ie., their "cutting off" from the true vine. There will be a remnant that's restored, so there's good news.

Note that the saving faith is gift from God - it would be nothing short of the grace of God that will convert a person. For the lost, they are darkened in their understanding and stubborn by their nature - in their freest of freewilled choice they reject Jesus Christ. Predestination is in the Scripture; it is not a man-made idea. Calvinism, on the other hands, is NOT the truth per se but it is of most accurate 'observation' of the Scripture.

@@_p_5764 Perhaps those are the most misunderstood verses in critiquing 'Calvinism'. The simple reality is this - not everyone is saved. Even now, there are people screaming curses to God and going to hell. Yes, God is love. In His love, He wants all people to be saved. Jesus Christ gave Himself as a ransom for all people, and Salvation offered to all people - yet people reject Him and mock anyone who accepts Him. Therefore, they shall face the full wrath of God who is Righteous. God, in His love, does not want anyone to perish indeed, but very few come to repentance - thus they shall be sent to hell by God, in His righteousness. Salvation is for ANYONE who comes to Christ Jesus and believes, not for EVERYONE. I think I have been using this analogy too much but here it goes; God gave the Salvation freely and the faith is indeed the gift from God - but God did not institute some sort of social welfare program that everyone gets the benefit. I cannot contradict the Scripture. Please read the first Chapter of the Book of Ephesians. I cannot deny the reality either. People are dying and going to hell.

@@AnHebrewChild I hope the rest of your week will be better. I've learned that we can live in love, or not. We can live in forgiveness, or not. We can live, being merciful, or not. Whatever we choose to live in either connects with God or not. One of the mistakes theologians make is to try to fill in all the spaces between things God has shown us. The spaces (gaps of our understanding) are there, I believe because we are incapable of understanding some things. But we try to fill in those gaps, and in doing so we are always wrong. No offense to reformed theology, but it's a extreme in trying to fill in the gaps. It's important for us to say, "We don't know; God hasn't revealed it to us." hugs, Mary

"No one can come to me unless my Father draws them". The only way any of us can know God is if God the Son reveals him to us, and the only way we can know the Son is if God the Father himself draws us to the Son. Salvation is all of God and is an act of beautiful mercy. Paul said salvation is a gift of God. We all deserve to go to Hell but God in his mercy and loves predestines to save some sinners. Why God chooses do this is for his good will and pleasure. The universe belongs to God, and we should never forget that fact, and God is infinitely Holy.

Look up the day of evil in scripture. It's only mentioned 2 other times. In Jeremiah 17:17 and 17:18 there is explains what the day of evil is. The day of evil clearly talks about a temple destruction. Those prosecuting Jeremiah are God chosen ppl, the ppl of Judea. For rebelling against God they are getting the double destruction Jeremiah 17:1-4 the ppl of Judea the warning they will serve their enemies because they have kindled Gods anger with their behaviour. We know the rest of the story that the ppl of Judea didn't repent. They will be serving their enemy after Nebuchadnezzer wipes them out. The wicked mention in proverbs 16:4 is Nebuchadnezzer. The Bible does not contradict. Also the Bible is it's own dictionary

Psalms 103 especially vs 13. Scripture if full of the love of God if only we will open our life and let Him be our redeemer, leader, guide, friend.

@@m.d.d4250 The chapter itself does not imply that _all men_ means "all types of men". That is just not there in the Bible. The "context" you are borrowing that from is Augustinian/Calvinist theology, insinuating itself into people's understanding. Draw a Venn diagram, allowing "all men" to be the big circle, the Universal set = U. "Kings" and "all that are in authority" are subsets of U, not identical to U. They are one circle, "kings", inside the circle, "those who are in authority," inside of the larger circle of "all men"; the Bible has not changed the meaning of _all men_ to conform to some need that it mean only the those in authority, including kings. That is not how context works. Words have meaning; they are not just clay, to be shaped into anything the writer or interpreter desires. Some words shift meaning according to context, but some stay the same. "God our Saviour" would have all men be saved. "All men", at face value, means more than "some men". There is no purpose in saying "all", when you just mean it as some sort of code for "some". The fact that we know that all men are not saved, doesn't mean that it isn't true that God would have all men be saved, in the sense of desiring it. The context of the chapter really serves that it is saying that God desires the salvation of all men. Ask yourself: Did Jesus only "give Himself a ransom" (verse 6) for kings and all that are in authority? You can't say that _context demands_ that "all men" only be kings and those in authority in verse 4, then hurry and add back in _all the Calvinists_ for verse 6. If the context truly demands that _all_ means _only some,_ then it will continue to mean that, as long as the subject remains the same. To insert the meaning of "all Calvinists" into a phrase that you have said that the context limits to "kings, and those in authority", is called a _switcheroo._ In Bible interpretation, we are supposed to watch out for switcheroos, which can be very harmful. So, reading it meaningfully, rejecting the demands of a theology of mere men to insert itself into the interpretation, in 2, "kings, and all that are in authority" are a _subset_ of men that is _part of,_ but smaller than, the group of "all men": part of those for whom we should pray, all men, who are those whom God desires to be saved. It does not make all men _identical_ to kings and those in authority. And ask yourself this, too, and you are welcome to bring Calvinist doctrine along for this one: if the Bible is truly saying that God would have, not all men without exception, but all kings and all that are in authority, saved, and, borrowing from Calvinist doctrine, God only wants to save those He _actually saves,_ and the rest, He never even wanted to save in the first place, why make that statement about kings and politicians? They are about as unlikely a group to be saved as exists. Very, very few of the people who are obsessed with power in this world, get saved, so why would God have Paul say that He wants them all saved? As Calvinists like to say about our God, that makes Him kind of weak and puny, doesn't it? He can force _regular_ people to be saved, but when it comes to _strong-willed_ men, like kings and hard-bitten politicians, the ones He _really_ would have saved, He's batting almost zero: "pining away," because He's "too weak" to save _those_ He _really wants_ to save, the _strong-willed_ man of this world, and this world, only. He _wanted to save_ Hitler and Stalin, but they were _just too tough_ for Him. Not many Nebuchadnezzars in the whole, legs-of-iron, feet-of-clay, bunch of them. Thankfully, some do get saved out of politics, but not many at all. 1 Timothy 2:7 1¶I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 7Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

Corey Friend Ask yourself why you are believing that a particular person is anointed to preach the Good News of the Gospel? If you believe that they are anointed to preach the Good News this then means that you believe Jesus appointed them to do so? Do you really believe that Jesus gave them His authority to do this? Do you understand that every Messenger that was appointed by Jesus could cast the sickness out of EVERYONE who needed healing? So if you believe that Jesus gave this person His authority and appointed them to explain scripture, do you believe that they now possess the same power that Jesus and His apostles did? “Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. And He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece. “Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.” So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.” Luke 9:1-6 NKJV “And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch. Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly. And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.” Acts 5:12-16 NKJV Next, do you understand that when Jesus forgave a persons sins that the person was then healed of their sickness or disability? So do you understand that this means that if you are someone who can get sick then you are a sinner who has been deceived by the devil and you are not following God and His commands? Do you understand this also means that you are following the teachings of some deceived soul who has given you their misguided interpretations of scripture and that you are not following Jesus as He commanded? If you are having trouble trying to understand what I am relating to you then look here: Psalm 107:17. “Fools, because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.” Know what this means? First transgressions, it means an act that goes against a rule, a law or a code of conduct. Next iniquity, it means a wicked act or thing, sin. Finally, affliction, it means something that causes persistent pain or suffering. Translated it is saying that you are a fool if you do not follow God’s laws and commands and you go and sin because you will then have pain, suffering and sickness. So this means that if you are someone who can get sick or someone who is currently suffering then you are a sinner who is not following God and you are simply following the devil lies. Next, do you understand that the devil is very deceptive and that he will use a person who lacks true knowledge of scripture and he will have them try and explain their misguided interpretations of scripture in order to lead others astray? Do you understand that it may seem like this person is very knowledgeable about scripture but the reality and truth is that the message that they are preaching is simply a lie? And finally, do you understand that if you believe this false message that you are then condemning yourself to an eternity in hell? I am writing these things because I am a disciple who has been sanctified in God’s truth directly by Jesus Himself and I am warning deceived believers of the error of their ways. If you are not living a life that is free of sickness, fears, worries and stress then you do not even know God or the peace that He truly brings. You are simply a misguided believer who is following the devil and one of his many false teachers here on the Internet or at some local church that you probably attend. Understand that the majority of people who talk about Jesus and the gospel are simply deceived souls or motivational speakers and most are using the gospel to benefit financially. Run as fast as you can from any person who is asking you to either like or subscribe to their videos and run from any person who says they believe this is what the Holy Spirit is relating to them in a vision or a dream. Run also from any person who states that they think or believe that this is what a particular scripture means. Any person who has been sanctified in God’s truth would never say such things since they would know without a doubt what the Holy Spirit has taught and related to them. Now does the person that is explaining scripture or their dreams to you ever get sick? Have you seen any of their family members ever get sick? Understand that any person that has been sanctified in God’s truth can never get sick ever again since they have faced all of the devils lies and deceptions and they have overcome sin. If you believe that a person is being guided by the Holy Spirit simply because they are talking about Jesus, their dreams or the gospel, then you are clearly a fool who lacks knowledge of scripture and you are someone who the devil can easily deceive. Any true disciple of God will always relate that a believer needs to learn God’s truth directly from Jesus Himself and so they will instruct you to follow Jesus and not to follow them. They will also relate how you need to surrender your will to the Holy Spirit so that the Spirit can teach you how to overcome sin. They will explain that if you do not overcome sin then you cannot live a sick free sinless life in this evil world nor will you inherit the eternal blessings of God. Now any true apostle of God on the other hand will possess the same power as Jesus did and he will then be able to cast the sickness out of everyone who comes to him. Not just some here or there but everyone. So now ask yourself once again if you really believe that the person that you are following is qualified to talk about God and scripture or are you simply being deceived by a minister for the devil? “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.” II Corinthians 11:13-15 NKJV “Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.” I John 3:4-9 NKJV “We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.” I John 5:18 NKJV “To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” Revelation 3:21 NKJV “And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:6-8 NKJV

Robert Balogh I believe people experience postmortem punishment from God for not trusting in Jesus. This in no way contradicts the fact that He is the Savior of all men especially of those who believe (1 Tim 4:10) nor His mission to reconcile all things to Himself (Col 1:15-20, Eph 1:10-11). So did Jesus die to make all righteous? According to Romans 5:18-19, the same group that received condemnation from Adam receives righteousness by Christ. Likewise, according to John 3:17 and 12:47, Christ came to save the world. In conclusion, Jesus truly is the Savior of the world (John 4:42, 1 John 4:14). God bless!

I will NOT try to think I can know or understand "everything" about the Almighty or try to instruct him as to what to do. I'm not saying I'm right, but let me speak my mind for a sec. So to think that HE creates millions of vessels just for destruction is just crazy, doesn't line up with His nature. I just can't see it the more I read scripture. And trust me I'm a genuine believer, with a true heart for the Father and His creation So I think anyone who holds to that "thinking" knows what I'm saying makes a lil sense if you are honest with yourself, but if you don't that's ok. Possible Explanation for Rom 9. What if Paul was referring to the children of the Fallen angels - Nephilims etc, so their descendants COULD be the vessels of destruction spoken about - who knows, maybe Anyone in the Nephilims blood line is not a candidate for salvation because they were never in the original plan of Elohim. That would make Biblical sense. Bc they are an abomination to Yahweh. Wouldn't it? I think so, but then again what do I know Anyway, I'll keep reaching out to everyone as if they ALL can be saved and let Yahweh handle what I'm not sure about. Have a bless day folks

God chooses us all, the majority reject the wooing and grace of the Holy Spirit. See John 3:17-18 as well.

Neither attacking nor defending Calvinism, but all I’m saying is that we shouldn’t say something is from the pit of hell. It can support ideas which are not of Christ, but they aren’t coming from hell. I know a lot of people just come from the idea that Satan runs hell, but it’s not true. Hell is a place designed for Satan, the fallen angels, and those who are not saved or refused to accept the calling to go to after the day of judgement, once they’ve been judged by the Lord.

Luke 4:8 And JESUS ANSWERED and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the LORD THY GOD, and HIM ONLY SHALT THOU SERVE. Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness OF THE SCRIBES and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter INTO THE KINGDOM OGF HEAVEN. Jeremiah 8:8 How do ye say, We are wise, and THE LAW of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly IN VAIN made he it; the PEN OF THE SCRIBES IS IN VAIN. Titus 1:14 Not giving heed to JEWISH FABLES, and COMMANDMENTS OF MEN, that turn from the TRUTH. 1 Corinthians 1:23 But we preach CHRIST CRUCIFIED, unto the Jews a STUMBLING BLOCK, and unto the Greeks FOOLISHNESS; Jeremiah 10:8 But they are altogether BRUTISH and FOOLISH: the stock is a doctrine of vanities. Galatians 5:2-3 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, CHRIST SHALL PROFIT YOU NOTHING. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a DEBTOR TO DO THE WHOLE LAW. Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are BY THE LAW purged with BLOOD; and without shedding of BLOOD is no remission. Matthew 21:24 JESUS SAITH unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, THE STONE THE BUILDERS REJECTED, the same is become the HEAD OF THE CORNER: this is the LORD'S DOING, and it is marvelous in our eyes? Mark 7:7 Howbeit IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, teaching for DOCTRINES the COMMANDMENT OF MEN. Romans 2:24-25 FOR THE NAME OF GOD IS BLASPHEMED among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep THE LAW: but if thou be a breaker of THE LAW, THY CIRCUMCISION IS MADE UNCIRCUMCISION. Hosea 13:13-14 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children. I WILL RANSOM THEM from the power of the grave; I WILL REDEEM THEM FROM DEATH: O DEATH, I WILL BE THY PLAGUES; O grave, I WILL BE THY DESTRUCTION: REPENTANCE SHALL BE HID FROM MINE EYES. Romans 8:10-11 AND IF CHRIST BE IN YOU, the body is DEAD because of SIN; but the Spirit is LIFE because of righteousness. BUT IF THE SPIRIT OF HIM THAT RAISED UP JESUS from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies BY HIS SPIRIT THAT DWELLETH IN YOU. Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD HATH A CONTROVERSY with the inhabitants of the land, because there is NO TRUTH, NOR MERCY, NOR KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IN THE LAND. Mark 12:27 He is not the God of THE DEAD, but the God of THE LIVING: ye therefore do GREATLY ERR. Matthew 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the DEAD, but of the LIVING. Deuteronomy 32:21 They have MOVED ME TO JEALOUSY with that which is NOT GOD; they have provoked me to ANGER WITH THEIR VANITIES: and I will move them to jealousy with those which ARE NOT A PEOPLE; I WILL PROVOKE THEM TO ANGER WITH A FOOLISH NATION. Luke 20:38 For he is not a God of THE DEAD, but of THE LIVING: for ALL LIVE unto him. Psalm 81:9 There shall be NO FOREIGN GODS among you; Nor shall you worship ANY FOREIGN GODS.

Matthew15:8-9 This PEOPLE DRAWETH NIGN unto me with THEIR MOUTH, and honoureth me with THEIR LIPS; but their heart is far from me. But IN VAIN THEY DO WORSHIP ME, teaching for DOCTRINES the COMMANDMENTS OF MEN. Isaiah 29:13-14 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this PEOPLE DRAW NEAR me with THIER MOUTH, and with THEIR LIPS do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, AND THEIR FEAR TOWARD ME IS TAUGHT BY PRECEPT OF MEN: Therefore, behold, I WILL PROCEED TO DO A MARVELOUS WORK AMONG THIS PEOPLE, even a marvelous work and a wonder: FOR THE WISDOM OF THEIR WISE MEN SHALL PERISH, and the understanding of THEIR PRUDENT MEN SHALL BE HID.

Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Psalm 2:1 Why do the HEATHEN RAGE, and the people imagine a VAIN THING? Jeremiah 10:14 Every MAN is brutish in his KNOWLEDGE: every founder is CONFOUNDED BY THE GRAVEN IMAGE: for his molten image IS FALSEHOOD, AND THERE IS NO BREATH IN THEM.

This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit BY WORKS OF THE LAW, or by the hearing of FAITH? 1 Corinthians 1:23 But we preach CHRIST CRUCIFIED, unto the Jews a STUMBLING BLOCK, and unto the Greeks FOOLISHNESS; Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are BY THE LAW purged with BLOOD; and without shedding of BLOOD is no remission.

Calvinism teaches no one can call on the Lord, because they are so depraved, they have no ability to. So given that teaching, how you going to preach the gospel to anyone, if they are so dead they can't hear? You got saved because you trusted in God, in the gospel. The calvinists will tell you that is impossible. Read the scripture below. Matthew 23:13 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. Is Jesus speaking the truth or are the calvinists? You should decide who you are going to start trusting. You listen to men and their doctrines, they will indoctrinate you and that is not wise. Jesus clearly says that they have an option to choose whether to enter, just because God says he chooses, means many call on him, but some simply do not really do it with a sincere heart. He chooses those with a sincere heart. He doesn't just randomly select unbelievers, that's not only not scriptual, but makes no common sense. You got saved because you trusted in the Lord and believed. Go out and learn God's word, so you can preach the good news. The good news is Jesus died for everyone and everyone can look up and see Gods grace in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins. If you become a calvinist you will have a lot of trouble doing that, because they don't believe Jesus died for everybody.

Calvinism says that God chooses who will be saved arbitrarily. Definition of arbitrarily, “existing or coming about seemingly at random or by chance or as a capricious and unreasonable act of will.” Now does an Almighty loving God (for God is defined by love), (He is the highest form of love)do anything arbitrarily? Especially towards His highest form of creation, created in His image? I think not. Intellectuals like Piper and Calvin think they can figure it all out in our little perverted fallin minds. But we are incapable of fully understanding salvation down here. Just accept ALL OF WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS and move on to preaching the gospel. “Whosoever will” is the greatest news, but Calvinism destroys it. What a shame.

Jesus came for the criminals and sinners. It was the self righteous He took the harsher issues with. They were them who rejected and ultimately killed Him. These two lessons by John Doerr on what it means to truly be born again are very liberating! The Trueth of the real Jesus Christ’s gospel of grace toward the sinner has been hidden by Rome’s Jesuits and scholars, who work tirelessly to cast doubt on the Word of God. The devil has deceived the whole world. (Rev 12:9) kzitem.info/news/bejne/pmuKqoOpmKZ9o4Y - born again basics pt1 kzitem.info/news/bejne/za2gnWyEaWphlqw - born again basics pt2 Romans 8:2 “For the law of the spirit of life, in Christ Iesus, hath made me free from the law of sinne and death.” The fundamental problem is the corruption of Gods word.
