THE INSANITY OF CALVINISM EXPLAINED 101 ,.......

The Five Points of Calvinism

There are two mains camps of theology within Christianity in America today: Arminianism and Calvinism. Calvinism is a system of biblical interpretation taught by John Calvin. Calvin lived in France in the 1500's at the time of Martin Luther who sparked the Reformation.

The system of Calvinism adheres to a very high view of scripture and seeks to derive its theological formulations based solely on God’s word. It focuses on God’s sovereignty, stating that God is able and willing by virtue of his omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence, to do whatever He desires with His creation. It also maintains that within the Bible are the following teachings: That God, by His sovereign grace predestines people into salvation; that Jesus died only for those predestined; that God regenerates the individual where he is then able and wants to choose God; and that it is impossible for those who are redeemed to lose their salvation.

Arminianism, on the other hand, maintains that God predestined, but not in an absolute sense. Rather, He looked into the future to see who would pick him and then He chose them. Jesus died for all peoples' sins who have ever lived and ever will live, not just the Christians. Each person is the one who decides if he wants to be saved or not. And finally, it is possible to lose your salvation (some arminians believe you cannot lose your salvation).

Basically, Calvinism is known by an acronym: T.U.L.I.P.

Total Depravity (also known as Total Inability and Original Sin)
Unconditional Election
Limited Atonement (also known as Particular Atonement)
Irresistible Grace
Perseverance of the Saints (also known as Once Saved Always Saved)

These five categories do not comprise Calvinism in totality. They simply represent some of its main points.

Total Depravity:

Sin has affected all parts of man. The heart, emotions, will, mind, and body are all affected by sin. We are completely sinful. We are not as sinful as we could be, but we are completely affected by sin.

The doctrine of Total Depravity is derived from scriptures that reveal human character: Man’s heart is evil (Mark 7:21-23) and sick Jer. 17:9). Man is a slave of sin (Rom. 6:20). He does not seek for God (Rom. 3:10-12). He cannot understand spiritual things (1 Cor. 2:14). He is at enmity with God (Eph. 2:15). And, is by nature a child of wrath (Eph. 2:3). The Calvinist asks the question, "In light of the scriptures that declare man’s true nature as being utterly lost and incapable, how is it possible for anyone to choose or desire God?" The answer is, "He cannot. Therefore God must predestine."

Calvinism also maintains that because of our fallen nature we are born again not by our own will but God’s will (John 1:12-13); God grants that we believe (Phil. 1:29); faith is the work of God (John 6:28-29); God appoints people to believe (Acts 13:48); and God predestines (Eph. 1:1-11; Rom. 8:29; 9:9-23).

BS !!

This is nonsense : Jesus Died for ALL ,..it repeatedly says this in scripture,.. Up there in Heaven, God Has   a list of his "Chosen Few"  ,... WE DON'T KNOW Who they are !! The Only thing We each can do is believe and pray to God and ask for forgiveness hourly daily ,... True,..sin is hard to avoid ,..but it is IMPOSSIBLE to completely avoid it ,.. Your brain is a computer that commits thousands of sins per day ,..per hour ,..per second !!,....We would ALL GO TO HELL WITHOUT ATONEMENT !! THAT I AM SORRY TO SAY IS "A WORK" AS PROTESTANTS CALL IT ! ,..This is a form of "Faith Vs Works" argument debate ,..a debate which actually takes place amongst Catholics at times,..WITHIN THE CHURCH ITSELF ! It frustrates me here that Protestants and Calvinists even "Use" and invoke Scripture at all ,... Scripture was written and compiled by early Christians ( Catholics ) ,..and the Catholic faith comes from and is based on these early Christians who were "Inspired" by God almighty ,..It is insulting to me that Calvinists and other Protestants quote OUR SCRIPTURE - THE BOOK 'WE' WROTE !! ALL BECAUSE they don't wanna go to Catholic Church ,..and they wanna be "Priest" at their own little "Church" AT SOME STRIP MALL ,..and run their own little business ,..so they can drive a nice Jeep from "Tithings !!"

Unconditional Election:

God does not base His election on anything He sees in the individual. He chooses the elect according to the kind intention of His will (Eph. 1:4-8; Rom. 9:11) without any consideration of merit within the individual. Nor does God look into the future to see who would pick Him. Also, as some are elected into salvation, others are not (Rom. 9:15, 21).

WHAT A CROCK !!

READ THE BIBLE ONE MORE TIME YA SCHMUCK !!

THAT IS NONSENSE ! Obviously, that's not what the scripture really means ! All of that would deny Free Will ,... and the whole point of the Cross is to "Choose" the Lamb of God ,... WHO TAKES AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD !! SINS ARE CHOICES !! WE MAKE !

"WRONGDOINGS" Are what gets one into hell ,...You are not "Pre-chosen" to go there ,...obviously 'that' wouldn't be fair ,.. ARE YOU CALVINISTS IMPLYING THAT GOD IS UNFAIR ?? ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT LITTLE BABIES ARE GOING TO HELL ??? YER NUTS !!

Limited Atonement:

Jesus died only for the elect. Though Jesus’ sacrifice was sufficient for all, it was not efficacious for all. Jesus only bore the sins of the elect. Support for this position is drawn from such scriptures as Matt. 26:28 where Jesus died for ‘many'; John 10:11, 15 which say that Jesus died for the sheep (not the goats, per Matt. 25:32-33); John 17:9 where Jesus in prayer interceded for the ones given Him, not those of the entire world; Acts 20:28 and Eph. 5:25-27 which state that the Church was purchased by Christ, not all people; and Isaiah 53:12 which is a prophecy of Jesus’ crucifixion where he would bore the sins of many (not all).

WE DON'T KNOW 'WHO' THE ELECT ARE !! WE ARE MERE MEN ,...WE ARE NOT PERFECT,..WE MAKE MISTAKES,... GOD DOES NOT ! This means that there have been  50 Billion people from Earth ( or something like that ,..through out history )  and not "All" can go to Heaven ,... DUH ,..OF COURSE ......SADDAM HUSSEIN, HITLER, CHARLES MANSON, Jeffrey Dahmer , Stalin, Kim Jong Ill, TED BUNDY ,.. and many others probably might not be going to Heaven ,... JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ALL MANKIND !! THOSE WHO "CHOOSE" HIM ,..AND DO 'GOOD' FOR HIM ,..Not Just choose him ,..

 NOTE HERE: There are Christians who Pray all the time and always go to church but they are mean to people ,...they despise other people without good reason ,..they practice hatred for other people ,..yet they are Christian and they constantly pray ,.... So Calvinist Geniuses ?? What becomes of these mean people - of which we know there are many ,...Do they automatically go straight up thar to Heaven ???ARE YOU SAYING SIN GETS INTO HEAVEN WITH OR WITHOUT ATONEMENT ( REPENTANCE )  Just because according to You they are so "Saved" in Christ's Grace ?? DO YOU NOT BELIEVE THAT RIGHT NOW CURRENTLY THERE 'ARE' HUMAN SOULS IN HELL THAT WERE CHRISTIANS WHEN THEY WERE HERE ON EARTH ?? WELL,..THERE ARE !!

DEAL WITH IT !! 

Irresistible Grace:

When God calls his elect into salvation, they cannot resist. God offers to all people the gospel message. This is called the external call. But to the elect, God extends an internal call and it cannot be resisted. This call is by the Holy Spirit who works in the hearts and minds of the elect to bring them to repentance and regeneration whereby they willingly and freely come to God. Some of the verses used in support of this teaching are Romans 9:16 where it says that "it is not of him who wills nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy"; Philippians 2:12-13 where God is said to be the one working salvation in the individual; John 6:28-29 where faith is declared to be the work of God; Acts 13:48 where God appoints people to believe; and John 1:12-13 where being born again is not by man’s will, but by God’s.
“All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out," (John 6:37).

THIS IS TOTAL B.S. ! 

FREE WILL HERE ON EARTH FOR THE HUMAN RACE MEANS WE 'CHOOSE' ,..EVERYTHING IS A CHOICE BY US ,.. WE CHOOSE TO ACCEPT CHRIST AND GOD'S WILL OR WE DO NOT !! 'THAT' IS Exactly what the Bible is implying here ,..and says throughout scripture ! Adam and Even "Chose" to do bad ,... Sure,.. up in Heaven ,..God "knew" that and what they would choose BAD ,..BUT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT GOD KNEW EXACTLY ,..THEY CHOSE BAD ON THEIR OWN ,.. THEY CHOSE EVIL ( SATAN ) ,... GOD DID NOT CHOOSE IT FOR THEM ! ,...THEY COULD HAVE CHOSE GOOD : THEY DIDN'T ! True,... they weren't very smart and evil was an easy choice ,.. but not the LOGICAL CHOICE !! 


I think EDUCATION NEEDED 
is Quite Clear here Sherlock !!

Perseverance of the Saints:
You cannot lose your salvation. Because the Father has elected, the Son has redeemed, and the Holy Spirit has applied salvation, those thus saved are eternally secure. They are eternally secure in Christ. Some of the verses for this position are John 10:27-28 where Jesus said His sheep will never perish; John 6:47 where salvation is described as everlasting life; Romans 8:1 where it is said we have passed out of judgment; 1 Corinthians 10:13 where God promises to never let us be tempted beyond what we can handle; and Phil. 1:6 where God is the one being faithful to perfect us until the day of Jesus’ return.

NOT TRUE !! EVERYDAY A CHRISTIAN GOES TO STARBUCKS AND SEES SOME CHICK IN BLACK TIGHTS ,..and then goes and gets in his car and crashes ,...THE FALL ,... THE END !!

SORRY ,..BUT THAT'S MY ANALOGY THERE,..

BETTER KEEP PRAYIN' JUNIOR !!
