    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Titus 2:11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, Romans 3:24 And are justified by his...

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    Nope. Look at the doctrine of unconditional election. You're the one claiming that "If you want to get faith, you gotta be selfish!" Which is irrefutably unscriptural.

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves. Philippians 2:3 -Still trying to find where this verse says "Do nothing except selfishly accept God for your own personal gain... No one should seek their own good, but the good of others. 1...

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    So what your saying is our faith is spurned by selfish desires? That we make a correct choice out of selfish ambition to get what we want, and this is what saves us? And you'd rather believe this than that it was all of the Holy Spirit from start to finish?

    Please explain how total depravity is man-centered. Please. This ought to be good.

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    No... we worship Him because He is God, and He is deserving of praise, unlike anything else. Yes, we are transformed to be more like Him as we study and read the Scriptures, but this verse is not saying we praise Him to become more like Him. Everything in the universe exists for the sole...

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    Your right. He can't be selfish, because every good thing that could ever be said about Him is 100% true and justified. Why does he have the angels singing His praises constantly? Why does he declare to Moses that He is more concerned with His name than even Moses himself is? Are you saying...

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    A God that wants to glorify Himself? Why would he want to glorify anything else? What else is more worthy of glory than Him?

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    Notice how you tell the Gospel what it is about. The Gospel is not chiefly about hope, it is not chiefly about your salvation. It is and always has been about Christ an His glory. The problem is we tend to try to make the Bible all about us; that it's sole purpose is to show us how to get into...

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    Oh ok. So our works are really what save us not Christ's blood, because without our work of choosing to have faith, Christ's blood means nothing? Because regardless of what you say, you were the one that caused the faith within yourself; you did the work of choosing to believe. It was all you...

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    So we save ourselves by making Christ's blood effective So you believe we are saved by our work of choosing to have faith? Or is Christ's blood effective all the time?

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    But if unbelief is a sin, then Christ's blood covered the sin of unbelief even if I don't have faith. Or must we make His blood actually effective? So Christ didn't really save anyone on the cross; He made it possible for us to save ourselves, which is works righteousness. So are we saved by...

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    And again, you never gave an answer that made any sense. Where is the flaw in the logic of the statement, regardless of how you feel about it? You responded that Christ didn't die for all sins, but Enoch seems to think that Christ did die for every and all sins, as per his answer to the question.

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    You never adequately answered. You blatantly contradicted your own logic. If Jesus died for every sin of every man, and unbelief is a sin, then Christ's death covered the sin of unbelief, and everone would be saved. If unbelief isn't a sin, and Christ died for every sin, then everyone would be...

    So is unbelief a sin?

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    Lol! Funny thing, we believe in unconditional election, that God chooses based on nothing in man, good or bad, and are mocked for being "special" which is ignorant, non sequitur, and absurd. On the other hand they teach God chose them because they came to him out of true love and chose him...

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    Classic case of people wanting to have their cake and eat it too. And then point and yell "Cult!" at those who refuse to indulge themselves in the same.

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    See, this is why I just quote the verses and let you see what the Bible says. Because even if I do explain every single one, you will just find a way to deny what it teaches, claiming that Scripture contradicts Scripture. As I said earlier, the problem isn't the Bible. The problem i you coming...
