its interesting that you find his teaching (Theology/Doctrine) everywhere..
1.) predestined elect
2.) no free will
3.) God created Evil
See those 3?
Those are JC"s .
You can't go to a "christian" forum, and not find Calvin's disciples preaching those 3 loudly and proudly.
They are everywhere.
Avoid.
It was predestined that JESUS would be the savoir of the world and that all who do believe would be saved .
Jesus himself had free will . Lord if it be possible take this cup from me , neverthless , NOT MY WILL
but YOURS BE DONE
They mess up this part in Issiah . WHEN GOD says he creates evil , he is speaking of the weapon .
Not that he created EVIL itself .
Let me try and explain this as best i can .
IS it evil for GOD to desire all pre eminence , all worship , all glory . NO .
But it is evil for man , for the created to do so .
We were created in his image and we are capable of having those same desires . YET ITS EVIL FOR US
but NOT FOR GOD . that is how evil was born . WHEN satan who was made perfect , yet had free will
let those thoughts take him captive . HE let the gifts gave Gave him GO right to his head .
That is evil . BUT its not Evil for the creator GOD to desire all worship . It is evil for the created to do so . Hope that helps
