    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    being made.....willing by his grace. Back to irritable grace....walking robots. We know the truth. The one thing that Calvinism stands for is no free-will. There is no discussion in Calvin sources about how much John Calvin believed in free-will and choice. This discussion is pointless.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    I am the the Johnny Appleseed of truth, so no twisting here. We are looking for a discussion or statement that indicates that John Calvin or Calvinism believes in free-will and choice, those words. This discussion is about free-will and choice so those words have to appear or not appear. I...

    Did not say they hide being Calvinist.....just what that means. If you can do it then....you can post here where the WCF speaks of free-will and choice. Go for it.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    You keep saying that Calvinism believes in free-will and choice....I told you to prove it. Then again, are you not telling the truth because you are being dishonest or is it that you really do not know that much about Calvinism. It seems you are not telling the truth.......but.....flipping a...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Every reference in TULIP is not in the Bible. Completely made up, just like every other man-made theological cliché. It is the preverbal red flag for false beliefs. Someone trying to hood winkle you in to believing something that is not true.

    I have a few books on John Calvin and some of them are older, but I think they are in storage.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Quote from the WCF how Calvinism believes in free-will and choice and its relation to Judgment Day. How does the WCF explain how people of free-will can choose to be a Christians. Can choose to be good or not. Good luck. So we can go back and verify it, here on the forum. We can go no further...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    I have been educated in theology and Christian history in five different countries and own a 40,000 dollar library, what do you bet I have read it. Now quote from the WCF how Calvinism believes in free-will and choice and its relation to Judgment Day. How people of free-will can choose to be a...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    @PinSeeker @Lifelong_sinner Ok, guys, find your source material. I say that some Calvinists believe that all of reality is predestined. That down do every snowflake that falls is predestined. That every every thing we do, thought we have, every word we utter is predestined and we have no...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    No...if you go back to post 629 you will see that I said it was a good example of predestination. I don't see an example in the Bible where God singled out an individual and damned Him or predestined a man to hell. But I think He could. That is because you see the plan as a puppet show...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    No he did not create the earth. But he did write about things that others did not agree with, and they supported what Apostles said too. What the Apostles wrote were scriptures....John Calvin did not write scriptures. John Calvin cherry picked His beliefs out of the scriptures and thereby...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    This goes back to the scripture regarding God making people for a purpose and it is a good example of predestination or God causing people to do things. But I am talking about humanity. The Pharaoh was pagan so He was going to hell anyway, so it does not matter.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Calvinism has come up with their own man-made terms that do not appear in the Bible. And those would be...? I think you know these....total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, or hype grace, and perseverance of the saints. It all revolves around the...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. 8 Cherish her, and she will exalt...

    I have no problem with the term elect....but it applies to all Christians. This implies choice and free-will Again this implies choice and free-will. Exactly Calvinist. You believe you are a puppet of the great puppet master.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    The doctrine of predestination makes all that irrelevant. All sins and actions of man are predestined by God. There in no inherit anything....only the will of God. By nature! Again back to choice. According to Calvinism we do not have a choice. Predestined to sin, because those that are chosen...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Of course this topic has been covered in several threads so it just a reiteration of the facts. ↑ Calvinist twists the meaning of atonement. They twist the saving grace of Christ. It would be very interesting to hear why you think this is so. ↑ I can go on an on about the twists...they should...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    And see this what you all do. You twist the Bible and twist what people say. Is it a matter of Calvinist instruction? Who knows the mind of God? I did not say He did not know the future. I said it means very little in regard to this topic. Knowing what is going to happen in the future.....and...
