Bear in mind that He was still God; He hadn't laid that aside. Was He still sovereign? Yes. He could have commanddd al those angels to deliver Him, or just smashed all His enemies Himself. Those are just some of His options to exercise His sovereignty. Here, it was to sincerely desire to gather them, but they would not.

Misinterpretation of scripture. Do you really think God thinks like you? 🤦‍♂️ He does not indeed give a reason for divine election, so as to assign a cause why this man is chosen and that man rejected; for it was not meet that the things contained in the secret counsel of God should be subjected to the judgment of men; and, besides, this mystery is inexplicable. He therefore keeps us from curiously examining those things which exceed human comprehension. He yet shows, that as far as God’s predestination manifests itself, it appears perfectly just.

This is happening through-out all so-called Christians, including calvinists and non-calvinists! People are impressed with the charisma of men, moreso than a desire to know God's Truth! 1st John chapter 1 verse 27.

R C Sproul skillfully teaches people that there is no real purpose in God's entire plan of the creation of man and of course man's relationship to His Creator. Sproul convincingly, simply says that God decided to create man, and that He would simply force some of them to worship Him, and would simply damn most of them to eternal separation from Him, so that the forced worshippers would give Him glory for not damning them. What amazes me is that anyone can believe this blasphemy. Not to mention, the Bible teaches us that God is "SEEKING TRUE WORSHIPPERS ". This clearly shows True Believers just how dangerous Satan is and why the Bible is constantly warning us about False Teachers. Let him with an ear hear!

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people," "But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone." "because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false." Man is able to respond but refuses to love the truth; if he recievies the truth, he will be saved. God would not have to send a strong delusion if they mankind was born unable to respond. Sending the delusion is God's hardening of those who reject. Just read the Bible and don't except what is not found in the Scripture.

But when we are being convicted by the Holy Spirit, thats when He is making a way that we may believe. He is both able to get through to us, and also to provide us the way to believe and be saved, getting though that prison of being dead in sin.

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And *this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and MEN loved darkness rather than light,* because their deeds were evil. All people have sinned. We all do evil, and we all have this tendency to hide from God. Jesus goes on to say that some people *"do truth",* and we can take it from the rest of the Bible that Jesus is not saying goody goodies, who never do anything wrong, are the ones who *do truth.* They have to be sinners, just like the ones who won't come to the light. Therefore, the only deeds they are wanting to be clearly seen-their deeds-that they are "wrought in God", is that doing truth, and it is "wrought in God", yet is _their_ deed. To do truth must have been something they received from God, yet they can receive it or reject it, hence the responsibility. The men are truly responsible for evading the light that has come into the world, for not doing truth. Therefore, the ones who do truth are held responsible for choosing the truth over the evasion of truth they formerly practiced, even though the truth they are doing is altogether a glft of God. They are held responsible for doing that truth, therefore they are responsible, and it was not given to them irresistibly, because they would not be responsible, then, and Jedus says that men (and by implication, women) are responsible for their condemnation.

21Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? 22What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, 24even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? God in His Grace makes the sun shine on both His children and the children of wrath. He makes the rain sufficient for all. But only Gods children glorify His name for sustaining His Creation, those who are His enemies mock and curse Him, finding all manner of excuses to blaspheme His name, storing up Wrath for the day of Judgement.

Why would anyone put down a man of God, if you don’t exhibit fruits of the spirit you should question your own salvation.

I'm so thankful that Jesus died for all to make salvation possible for all.

What things??? Paul speaks to the ones for whom there is NO condemnation (8:1) , aka the children of God (8:16) , aka 'whom He predestined and also called' (8:30), AKA the ELECT (8:33). These are the ones for whom He also intercedes, John 17:2 and again Romans 8:27 and 8:34. And all the elect say: Amen.

In proportion to our abandonment of God are we taken care of by God. Therefore, we must surrender to the Will of God(Inner Christ) if we truly Desire to Discern the Movements of God within, as God conducts his Will in ways that oppose human will and understanding.... We must Remove the False Mortal Image of a ME separate and apart from God.... The Christ is the act of Eternal Life living Within its own Infinity, and becomes Demonstrable through the Receptivity of the Crucifixion of the Self separate and apart from God.... The Christ is ALWAYS ALIVE IN US, but we must be Alive to the Christ.... When we are not attuned to Divine Consciousness(Eternal Life, Immortality, Truth, God), by default, we are attuned to Mortal Consciousness(karmic death, mortality, form, fear, evil, etc).... Every communication Unfolding from God within is to encourage the Spirit/Soul die to the Self, as the Purpose of the Soul is to take Dominion over our only Adversary, the World Mind and it's thoughts tempting us to believe mortality/form/decay is reality... The Christ Within asks one thing of us: Crucify the Belief in a Me Separate and Apart from the Immortal, Omnipresent Spirit of God, as there is no more Glorious a Demonstration than the Transformation from mortal sense to Spiritual Immortality.... The massive wall we have built shielding us from our truth lies in intellectual concepts known as the Graven Images of Mortality experienced through the senses(including all religious beliefs). What is of God is Infinite, and what is not of God is an Appearance of a False Image where Only God is.... Heaven is where you are and the only place that you can ever be, yet Hell is the place that you insist on experiencing by entertaining a mortal life separate and apart from God.... We cannot glorify the Father, and glorify the flesh, or the sense of a personal Me separate and apart from God(including the flesh of jesus). Our Consciousness can not be divided in this. Either God is or God isn't the Only Life, and our experience is the Demonstration of either/or, depending on our receptivity to Life(Immortality), or Death(Mortality)... Where there's a Me(human self-love and human self-will) separate and apart from God there is SIN..... SELF...................S INDULGED..........I NUISANCE.........N Me, not God, therefore, ME knows better than God, and because ME knows better, ME MUST suffer the consequences of ME mortal beliefs of a Life Separate and Apart from God!! ME must appear to suffer the mortal consequences of ME IGNORANCE of TRUTH of BEING.... He who Realizes his Life is the Spirit of God has Eternal Life! He then walks through the mortal appearance a Divine Being, in who the 5 Senses of Mortal Lies have been Impersonalized, therefore hold no power over him. His fidelity is to the Immortal Spirit he is, and no longer to the mortal illusion of life not of God.... We Must OVERCOME the Belief that we are not Immortal, Divine Being..... To him that Overcometh the temptation of the tree of good and evil(belief in a mortal existence separate and apart from God)will I give to eat of the Tree of Life(ALL GOD IS/ETERNAL LIFE), which is in the Midst of the Kingdom of God(Omnipresence).... Turn ye from the false images of the mortal world of man with breath in his nostrils, and Dwell in the Secret Place of the Most High!! I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD....of the 5 senses of World Mind Belief, knowing they can only lie.... The degree to which we can look at the shadow of the material world of death/mortality that is not of Spirit/God and not be disturbed by it is the Path of the Realized Christ.... I and the Infinite are One.... We are not a Christian until we know the Infinite Perfect Spirit of Christ is our Identity!! Peace Be Unto You

Calvin understood works don’t save you, and plainly that while grace is said to be the means, God having enough for all, not all, in truth most are not saved; therefore Calvinism. The problem is that while one can see Calvinism in many verses of scripture one can also see verses that have to be overlooked to hold the view. Is that what we as Christians want to do? Maybe as Calvin was a man, he just got it wrong? Maybe the way he understood Christianity worked, was in fact not the way it does? The crux of it seems to be FAITH; you’re save by grace through faith, no faith? grace is not going to work. I think it’s worth asking the question? Many see faith as believing, believing as faith. But there are clear cases in scripture of believers being cast out. In each case being told I never knew you by the Lord. Have ears to hear? Wouldn’t it be a shock if you found too late it was you that didn’t listen? I'm sure for the Lord, Lord, crowd it was. They are so sure, they argue with Him; didn’t we do all these great works in your name? If any were asked in life, do you know Him, they would be so sure they did? Certainly, as sure as you are. How did they get it so wrong? In life they were teachers, look at what they say they did; have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name; only to find too late they had not only cheated themselves out of the kingdom, they had led others to destruction. The blind guides spoken of. If only they understood faith? Maybe you are one that thinks faith is believing? If so, I ask you to test that by the word. I ask you to read a passage that has men, believers, His own disciples, asking to be saved; understanding they were about to perish, and coming to Him in that moment when only He could rescue them? Matthew 8 beginning in verse 25. Consider if they have less faith, as you describe it, than you, and notice how their faith is graded by Yashua. If you want to dig deeper into faith, the faith that saves us, I would be happy to comment further. But for now, this comment is just to say Calvin got it wrong.

DEFORMED Theologian parents bed time story. Little Johnny, God has predestined the minority of people to be saved and go to heaven forever, and He has predestined the majority of people to be eternally damned and burn in the fires of hell. We have no idea, little Johnny, if God has predestined you to be forever damned or forever saved. We love you, little Johnny, but we accept the fact that God might not love you, and that He may have plans to send you to hell for your future sins.

Take comfort knowing that we are not like God. We will be in heaven forever only because we were unconditionally chosen for salvation before we were born. That would be the only reason that we won’t be in hell with you if you find yourself there. It won’t be because of anything we did. So also take comfort in knowing that. It may not seem fair, but who are we to judge God? So again, if you find yourself in hell, remember that we will always love you as we forever worship the God who loved us but who hated you, the God who sent His Son to die for us but not for you.

It shouldn't. Listen closely to what is explained. Then listen again. The message should not, in any way be one of deviation.

If repent means to stop sinning than no one can truly stop sinning because we have all inherited the sin nature which compels us to sin. If it is possible for us to stop sinning Jesus would not have had to pay for our sins. The reason Jesus was able not to sin was because not haven been born of the sin of man he alone did not inherit the sin nature thus he didn't sin because he couldn't really be tempted. If we examine the anatomy of a sin we find that there are three necessary components that all must be in place for sin to happen. These three components are #1 commandments.#2 people with the sin nature and # three temptation. Take anyone of these three components away and sin can't occur. What keeps people out of Heaven is not their sinning parse but not haven confessed Jesus as Lord publicaly as Romans 10:9 declares and the thief on the cross did according to Luke 23:versus 42 and 43. Jesus was the perfect Lamb who takes away the sins of the world thus everone's sins have already been paid for. The only requirement for salvation is not confessing Jesus as Lord.

This spirit will try to convince them Calvinism is found all through the bible and is biblical. I fought it and rebuked it in the name of Jesus and it left me for a season.

You seem not to get it, being dead is simply a metaphor. Was the prodigal son dead to his father? According to Jesus and the word his father used, “my son was dead but now is alive” yes. But what else did Jesus say? The son “realized” his situation and went home to his father with a repentant heart. Anywhere in the story did the father make is son come alive? No. The word “dead” is simply a metaphor, like saying, “you’ve lost your mind.” Augustine, Calvin, and yes R.C.Sproul are all wrong on this issue. Remember, all these men believe in infant baptism also and many other things that are not in the scripture.

R.C. says the problem with unlimited atonement is that while available to all it is possible that no one would accept it. This puts God in the position of having to "wait and see" who will or won't be saved, and is an insult to the omniscience of God.

Makes no sense

It does not really matter which book of the Bible I read. It always grows me in faith and love for Jesus Christ as well as me marvel at His grace. It makes me happy. None of these "I am so super smart" discussions ever played any role in that. I listened to this here, I listened to a almost 90 minutes explanation why kneeling before a carved statue of Mary, kissing her wooden feet, decorate her with flowers and candles is no worship, I listened to an over 2 hour explanation why an transformation from supermarket bread into the body, the literal flesh of Christ happens in the roman catholic eucharist, why the word of God is not Gods word but given us by the Catholic Church,... and a lot more from different people and denominations. Maybe I am simply not smart enough to get it. I already struggle with all the denominations. I got saved when reading the Bible at age 47 and at that time I refused to go to church, because I wanted HIS word and just understand it the way I understand when reading it myself. His spoken word into my ears like those on the mount of olives etc.. And I fall on my knees and proclaimed: "Jesus, you are my Lord and Savior and I am from now on your servant. I will follow you and only you and obey your word and submit to your will". That made me a Follower of the Lord. That and only that. When I meet people on Bible congresses etc, they all tell me "I am baptist", "I am Lutheran", I am this, I am that. I am catholic, ... Still missing Jesus in all of that... I am not a follower of Catholicism, Southern Baptism... I want Jesus and I follow Him. A denomination would not be my first though, not my second, not even third though... I realized, that just reading the Bible myself and understanding it the way I did, I am pretty close to what baptist believe. Maybe more what followers in a so called "gospelhall" believe. Whatever the Lord said, maybe there is all that you are talking about and what I dont get. Could easily be. But Jesus talked to fishermen, carpenters, homeless. And as God incarnated He knew for sure, with 100% certainty, that all those people understood Him. Otherwise, He would have used different words. So what is this all about? All these super smart important theories, the opinion you need 4 years bible colleges from Dr-so-and-so, a Phd from the university of so-and-so to understand His word, or better the roman catholic priest to figure it out and explain it to you? "This is my flesh"... And someone needs over 2 hours to explain to me that it is really His flesh i eat and not a metaphor for the sacrifice next day, sharing his flesh? If it all strengthens your faith and love for the Lord, if it makes your day - fair enough. If you are saved - wonderful!. But I dont need these discussions. And likely no-one got it fully figured out. Why not wait till we meet Jesus and ask him... Until then, I dont care about it.

Rom. 8:28, 29: “We know that God makes all his works cooperate together for the good of those who love God, those who are the ones called according to his purpose; because those whom he gave his first recognition he also foreordained [“predestinated,” KJ] to be patterned after the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.” (Also Eph. 1:5, 11) Yet, to these same ones, 2 Peter 1:10 says: “Do your utmost to make the calling and choosing of you sure for yourselves; for if you keep on doing these things you will by no means ever fail.” (If the individuals were predestinated to salvation, they could not possibly fail, regardless of what they did. Since effort is required on the part of the individuals, it must be the CLASS that is foreordained. God purposed that the entire class would conform to the pattern set by Jesus Christ. Those selected by God to be part of that class, however, must prove faithful if they are actually to attain the reward set before them.) That "class" or group referred to is the 144,000 anointed Christians who will reside in Heaven as Kings and Priests in Christ's Kingdom.

There is nothing that can be done for RC Sproul anymore. God does command everyone everywhere to repent! That is true! But sadly this man likely never did because he was filled to overflowing with pride. God hates pride! And God hates workers of iniquity! And God hates false teachers who teach lies by distorting His Word! RC Sproul has been judged for His sins according to the truth of God's Word... even as able to be understood by a child... and not the philosophical and hypothetical meandering understandings of some modern-day Pharisee! Do not make the same mistakes as this man who thought himself smarter than God. Do not allow yourself to awake one day in hell because you trusted the teachings of modern-day Pharisees more than the teachings of God!

Soli Deo Gloria. *But… Are you sure you are giving the glory to Him?* When you distort the character of God by making Him look more like Shiva (the Hindu god of destruction), than that God of incredible love, patience and mercy from the Bible; The One who commands you to love your enemies and forgive them always!… Are you giving Him glory? Because... friend, let's be honest. A “god” who creates billions of souls to be sent directly to hell, without any option to save… is an extremely cruel god. He is not the God of the Bible. When you tell a sinner that Jesus has only died for a tiny portion of humanity, and that it is very, very unlikely that he is among them; even though there are *several* texts in the Bible that claim that God sent His Son in ransom for humanity, because He doesn't want anyone to be lost... Are you giving glory to God? Sure? Could it not be... That in the most hidden and deep part of your heart you are giving glory to yourself? I will explain. One can easily feel special, even better than others, when he hears that he has been chosen by God. Because a “god” who sends people who are better than you to hell… doesn't make any sense, right? Without a doubt I must be better. No choice. God must have seen something special in me to not care about destroying billions of souls and staying with me. Because I take it for granted that you don't think that God saves his 4 chosen ones by lot, right? I hope not! But there is a big problem, that “god” who chooses for something he finds in the person, is not the God of the Bible. He is no respecter of persons (Romans 2:11). That is, He does not favor or lean toward some people more than others for any particular reason or affection. That is, for Him, you and all those who are going to end up in hell are exactly the same. Rebels. Sinners. Get this deep in your head. And repeat it to yourself, over and over again, until you really understand it. Because this is a serious matter. But it is true that the Bible speaks that we have been chosen. But then? Based on what? How can God choose without violating His character and not based on anything that is in man? Very easy. He opened the door of Eternal Life to *ALL of his creatures.* And he says *to ALL of us:* Do you want to enter with me? Those who freely answer “Yes” to that call, those whose answer He already knows before the foundation of the world, are His chosen ones. (Romans 8:29). And certainly this speaks to us of a God of immense love. Love far superior to the human one, who easily makes preferences. Let us be very careful, lest, pretending to give glory to God, we may be found liars. For the heart is wicked and deceitful above all things. (Jeremiah 17:9)

@@arjancornelissen9634 Correct, because it is no answer at all. Saying that God does what he does, is not explaining why he does anything, its saying "don't ask, its not your place to know.' So why does Sproul even discuss it? Why bring up questions he is not going to answer? So that you can quote the bible and tell everyone to just shut up and not question God?
