But this does not sound like Calvin's UNconditional Election. According to UNconditional Election, the god of Calvinism elects to salvation based on no conditions found within the individual. So in the bizarro world of Calvinism: Future foreknowledge does not play a part in God's decision in...

#5. Paul says in Romans 7:14 that he is carnal and is sold under sin; And yet in Romans 8:2, Pauls says he is free from sin. So unless Paul is contradicting himself, he is talking from two different perspectives. #6. In Romans 7:25, Paul asks the question: "O wretched man that I am! who...

However, if you are still in doubt, there are 8 reasons in Scripture that show us that Paul is indeed talking as a Pharisee (recounting his past experience) and he is not talking in the present tense as a Christian in Romans 7:14-24. #1. In Romans 7:6, Paul says we should serve in newness of...

Read Acts of the Apostles 15:1, Acts of the Apostles 15:5, and Acts of the Apostles 15:24. Then read Galatians 5:2. When you do, please get back to me in what you think those verses say. In other words, please tell me what you think each of those verses are telling us. The Law of sin and...

I talked with a Calvinist at my work and he told me that babies who die go to hell. I have talked with Calvinists online who also have stated this to me, as well. This simply is monstrous at best and they have turned off their moral compass to not see basic morality. Calvinism is turning men...

There are Calvinists who believe that you can make free will choices that is not related to choosing God. But there are Calvinists (High Calvinists) who believe God ordains evil in this world. Piper is one Calvinist who believes God ordains evil. Piper and Olson: Does God Ordain All Sinful...

First, it's called Arminianism and not armenianism. Armenians are an ethnic group native to the Armenian Highlands of Western Asia. Armenians constitute the main population of Armenia and the de facto independent Artsakh. There is a wide-ranging diaspora of around 5 million people of full or...

To all: The Bible has led me to lean more towards Arminianism. Here are the Original 5 Articles (or Points) of Traditional Arminianism: Conditional Election. Unlimited Atonement. Total Depravity. Prevenient Grace. Conditional Preservation of the Saints. Five Articles of Remonstrance -...

But they are still called the five points of Calvinism. Hence, it’s still Calvinism. I will even claim that I learn more towards Arminianism even if I am not a full fledge Arminian in holding to all five points of Remonstrance. If I held to all five points in Arminianism (Remonstrance), then...

This is in context to men and what they say and not what the Bible says. But even in this context, it says that a good part of the world is watching and it is recorded so that anyone can view it later. While the Bible could say something similar like this it is simply not made clear by the text...

This is a cliche line by Calvinists, friend. See post #947. We are able to read about the 5 points of Calvinism online and understand what they are saying.

2 Thessalonians 2:10 says they are perishing because they received not the love of the truth.

Nowhere does the context enforce the Calvinist interpretation on 2 Peter 3:9. That’s a false line of thinking, my friend. There are conditions of the faith that need to be met in order to not be in hell and to then later perish in the Lake of Fire. Not everyone meets these conditions of...

Yes. I have demolished Calvinism with 2 Thessalonians 2:10 and Jonah 3:10. In Calvinism: Those who perish are perishing NOT because of anything they did, but because God simply chose not to Elect them. Hence, why is called UNconditional Election. Yet, 2 Thessalonians 2:10 says that the reason...

God feels that they are deserving or worthy to be saved. 2 Peter 3:9 says God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. If God felt they were not deserving of being saved, then He would have let them perish. Why would I care what Pillars of Grace is if it...

This is the tactics of many Calvinists I have run into. They really do not address the verses in a way that demolishes their theology. So your response is one that is not really backed up in defending your belief. So you are claiming you are right without any actual biblical support. Must...

One major appeal I can see why a person may believe in Calvinism is that it caters to a person not having any responsibility. Do you have a strong desire to be free of responsibility? Some Calvinists (and not all) believe they can sin and still be saved. This to me is showing a lack of...

Let's face it. You like the idea of Calvinism, and so you are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole involving the Bible, my friend. But the Bible should change us and we should not change what the Bible says. If the greater witness of the whole of the Bible speaks against Calvinism...

It's simply intellectual dishonesty, friend. If 1 John 2:2 refers to the word world as Gentiles, then we should be able to refer to the word world in John 3:16 as in reference to the Gentiles, too. But that rendering would suggest that God did not love the Jews whereby they could be saved...

The word “all” in the Bible can sometimes not refer to everyone but we know this because we can see that by the context. But the Calvinist is not using the context to determine the meaning of the word “world” to refer only to the Elect. There is no context that supports the word “world” as...
