This is a pretty good summation of Calvinist beliefs.
The whole damnation of some individuals before the creation of anything.
The hopeless decree of of damnation of which there is no escape.
The creation of beings that are more or less robots....no free will. Playing out an eternal play.
A play that Christ went through the process of horrible torture and crucifixion as only part of that play. Just for show.
All of reality has no real purpose.
What good is love of God, if it is forced?
What good is faith in Christ, if it is forced?
What good is hope if it is already decided?
Can sin be evil if it is forced by God?
Is heaven a reward if you have a reservation?
People screaming in hell...being punished for something they were forced to do.
Of course all this is false. Ludacris in nature and evil in application.
But it gets worse. The overall evil of Calvinism is it supreme insult to God. They do not worship Satan but I am sure that Satan celebrates their religion, because it depicts God having the character of Satan.
A being that created all of mankind as biologicals robots. Denying them free-will and no hope. Like I say it sounds like a great sci-fi flick. It is a religion of horror that stands as the worst insult to God and a trophy on Satan's shelf.
Taking innocent people that were looking for a relationship with God but instead convincing them that there is no relationship with God, just a puppet master that has enslaved all humanity.
Absolutely despicable!
i think you have twisted some doctrines a bit.
Jesus’ death was an absolute necessity. If He hadn’t died, there wouldn’t have been atonement for us. If God is just, and we know He is, without an atonement for us, how could He have saved anyone? God has to be just above all else. Otherwise, He wouldn’t be holy and justice would never be served.
romans 9:20 tells us that we dont get to question what God has planned for us, especially hell. The thought that we are owed Heaven is just sinful pride. Everyone’s name is already written down in the book of life that will be saved. The thought that Jesus is up in Heaven right now, still writing down people’s names is just silly. And we are not robots. But because of our consistently wicked hearts, we cant do anything good. A great example is a firefighter who runs into a building to save a little boy. Did he do a good deed? Depends on why he did it. Most would call him a hero, but God would see his true feelings and know if it was or not.
Calvinism is Biblical. How do we know? Because it highlights God’s way of thinking, not mans.
