Yup. It makes people very legalistic in their approach to how to be saved. Apparently though Christ existed before the foundation of the world and was foreordained to be the Savior of Adam and his descendants (who only began to exist from the foundation of the world), before the foundation of the world God purposed that Adam will be sawed in two from the foundation of the world so that some of his descendants would be saved through their faith in Jesus, and some not.
John Calvin's main spiritual blindness is one thing.. He
totally misunderstood one thing... and we'll find out later if he was deceived by the Devil, or if he was a devil who knew exactly what he was doing when he purposely denied John 3:16, by "limiting" the Cross of Christ, on purpose.
What Calvin didn't seem to understand, and im giving him the benefit of the doubt.... as i believe that what he created as his Theological Perversion.... that denies the Cross, = He knowing created it to be false..
But, lets say he was just demonic.... and utterly Legalistic (Self Righteous)....
His one issue, theologically..... that birthed all His other Cross Rejecting Theology, was his apparent inability to comprehend that = "God's Fore-Knowledge".... is not the same as " God Causing it to happen".
Calvin's one error in this thinking, was...."God's Foreknowledge" means that "God caused it all"..
So, this one word... "Fore-knowledge" that means to "know BEFORE it happens, everything that will happen next"..... Calvin re-defined "foreknowledge.... as "God predestining everything".
And from that critical error, he created one of the worst, if not the worst CULT Theologies that the Devil has ever produced through a human being.
"Calvinism"
"Hyper Calvinsm"
"TULIP".
And reader, if you dont know what this is, and you understand that you can't lose your salvation, then dont read Calvin's Theology.
Just leave it alone as it has demonic power to "bewitch" you, and ruin your faith for life. = Galatians 3:1
Avoid it.
Avoid people who believe it and want to share it with you.
Its is the Devil's Doctrine.....One of them... Hebrews 13:9
Stay away from it.
