*Calvinism is a FALSE GOSPEL.* Jesus died for *ALL of us* (John 1:29), (John 3:16,17), (John 4:42), (2 Corinthians 5:14, 15), (Romans 5:18), (1 Timothy 2:6), (1 Timothy 4:10,11)... etc. A “god” who, being able to choose, chose the *immense majority* of humans to be destroyed in hell!!, not to be saved… *is NOT a loving God, is NOT a merciful God.* My calvinist friend, you are not better than anyone. God didn't see anything special in you. Nothing. You are not worth a cent more than any of the billions of souls that your “god” is going to send to hell without any possibility of choice. The only reason God could choose you without violating His character, without being a respecter of persons, (Romans 2:11) is because He knew in advance that you would respond positively to His call. “For many are called, but few *CHOSEN.* ” (Matthew 22:14) *FREE WILL = LOVE!!* "I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; *CHOOSE,* therefore..." (Deuteronomy 34:19). Also, *the Bible does NOT say that we are totally depraved beings.* Be very careful friends! This statement could well come from the mouth of satan himself, who is completely depraved. *We still carry the image of God!* Let's not forget it. And because of that, we can *BELIEVE* and respond freely to God's call for salvation. *That limited atonement is an abomination.* Heresy of great caliber. There is nothing exclusive or limited about the cross. Nothing!! *He paid for ALL our sins* (Isaiah 53:6), (1 John 2:2), (John 12:47), (1 John 4:14), (Titus 2:11), (Hebrews 2:9). That is why Jesus commands us to preach to every creature in every nation. Irresistible grace? Not only is it a heretical concept (Acts 7:51), but it is absurd in its essence. Grace is a gift by definition. A gift that cannot be refused... is not a gift, it is an imposition. *Once saved, always saved, no matter what you do, it is one of the devil's biggest and best lies.* The Spirit of God is not up to nonsense! The entire New Testament is full of warnings, from Jesus and Paul, against apostasy. Warning someone of a danger that does not exist is stupid. The Spirit of God would never do such a thing. We need to study the Bible, but we urgently need to take off our Calvin glasses so we can see. Prayer and fasting. By the way, cessationism is another heresy. *All* the gifts of the Holy Spirit operate today for the glory of the Lord. God wants you to know it. (Sorry for my english) *THE END IS NEAR.*

Brilliant!!! Thank you!!! SO good and well-delivered!!! Here's some of my thoughts on it all... ; ) Welcome to the world of Calvinism. The following words found throughout holy Scripture will now be highly logically problematic - both to the natural reasonable man, and the spiritually illumined one: "If" "Reward" "Choose" "Punishment" (now practically meaningless and totally incoherent in light of the Reformed theory of compatibalism and irresistible / effectual grace) The following words will now also have to be somewhat "tweaked" (utterly changed from what they clearly and simply mean)... "Love" "Desires" "World" "Sovereign" "Whoever" "All" Finally you need to get used to cherry picking a couple of verses outside of the context of the entire swathe of the Book, Epistle or Gospel where they are found, and conflate and confuse individual justification / incorporation into Christ with corporate ministry and election. Oh! And please DO NOT research about how Augustine of Hippo practically reinvented the meaning of the word "Predestination" or the view of the human will and its relation to the Divine one as it was classically understood in the early Christian Church, and how one of his greatest fans - John Calvin - picked up this novel (non Christian) doctrine (double predestination) in the 16th century and stuck it on steroids: John Calvin calling it "the terrible doctrine" - which it is of course - but not for the same reasons he was applying the term... Now that you're a Calvinist you will be keenly aware that this doctrinal system (see the doctrines of grace) seems to tarnish the character of God and human moral responsibility and accountability (even though it sincerely and rightly seeks to stress the primacy of grace)... but remember! You are honoring God and His Scripture by swallowing this hard to swallow view of Sovereignty (meticulous determinism), Election and Reprobation (unconditional election), and man only having the illusion of free will (total depravity / inability)... The thing is though (between you and me and the entire Christian East and much of the West who do not hold to Augustinian Calvinism, and who all but you minority of Reformed folk, reject double predestination) you're not actually honouring God or his word in conforming to this system, you're actually simply honouring the thoughts of these men and their interpretive tradition) 😬✌️💚😂

Please show me where free will and a natural repentance that cause God to save and sanctify the apostle Paul? No sinners prayer. No seeking Christ. No offer by Christ as if Paul had anything to say or contribute to his salvation as a chosen vessel in the service of Jesus. No choice in the matter of his apostleship. No choice in the scope and sphere of his calling. No say in the manner of his suffering, imprisonment, and death. Paul says he is a pattern of salvation of all believers. The wicked and perverted mind and heart of man imposing his enslaved sinful will on the holy scriptures. We will see how all this plays out on Judgment Day when the secrets of men's hearts are revealed by Paul's gospel. I give all glory and honor to God, who saved a wretch like me in spite of my path to perdition because of what Christ provided on my behalf as Savior and redeemer. If God didn't intervene and deliver me from the power and curse of sin, I should have been lost and damned forever.

There is a consistent error in these refutations of Calvinism, stated in the first 30 seconds of this video. The teacher says God has "picked out" those who will be Elect. No, that is not even remotely what Calvinist doctrine says. Rather, God creates individuals whose sole purpose is to be with Him in heaven, meaning there is no point at which they are picked out or chosen. That is why Calvinists, if they are honest, should mark through the words _chosen_ or _choose_ everywhere they occur in scripture.

Sadly, the lengths to which you have to go to deny what is clearly taught in scripture are on full display here. 1 Thessalonians 1: 4-5: "For we know, brothers loved by God, that He has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not only in Word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction." And when did this choice occur? Before the foundation of the world. (See Ephesians 1:3,4) Was this choice conditional or unconditional? Election unto salvation, which is what is being described in the passage from 1Thessalonians quoted above, is clearly unconditional. (See -- and you knew I was going to go here -- Romans 9:9-24.

If doctrine did not matter then there would not be so many warnings about it, Truth Act 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. Lies Pro 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: Pro 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, Pro 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, Pro 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. Pro 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. False doctrine is lies, false prophets/teachers are liars it is just that simple. Because we have the availability of the Holy Ghost to guide us into all truth, if we do not allow the Holy Ghost to guide us then we will not make Heaven our home. Act 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. And there is the problem, people claiming to be Christians do not want the real truth, they want someone who will tell them the things they want to hear. And in that they resist the Holy Ghost.

There is nothing exclusive or limited about the cross. Nothing!! *He paid for ALL our sins* (Isaiah 53:6), (1 John 2:2), (John 12:47), (1 John 4:14), (Titus 2:11), (Hebrews 2:9). That is why Jesus commands us to preach to every creature in every nation. Irresistible grace? Not only is it a heretical concept (Acts 7:51), but it is absurd in its essence. Grace is a gift by definition. A gift that cannot be refused... is not a gift, it is an imposition. *Once saved, always saved, no matter what you do, it is one of the devil's biggest and best lies.* The Spirit of God is not up to nonsense! The entire New Testament is full of warnings, from Jesus and Paul, against apostasy. Warning someone of a danger that does not exist is stupid. The Spirit of God would never do such a thing. We need to study the Bible, but we urgently need to take off our Calvin glasses so we can see. Prayer and fasting. By the way, cessationism is another heresy. *All* the gifts of the Holy Spirit operate today for the glory of the Lord. God wants you to know it. (Sorry for my english) *THE END IS NEAR.*
I just watched this and have listened to many commentaries on this subject. Very good and thorough explanation brother! We all have to do our part in preaching the true gospel. These kind of Bible based teachings help us do that. God Bless
Debate James White !
Brilliant!!! Thank you!!! SO good and well-delivered!!! Here's some of my thoughts on it all... ; ) Welcome to the world of Calvinism. The following words found throughout holy Scripture will now be highly logically problematic - both to the natural reasonable man, and the spiritually illumined one: "If" "Reward" "Choose" "Punishment" (now practically meaningless and totally incoherent in light of the Reformed theory of compatibalism and irresistible / effectual grace) The following words will now also have to be somewhat "tweaked" (utterly changed from what they clearly and simply mean)... "Love" "Desires" "World" "Sovereign" "Whoever" "All" Finally you need to get used to cherry picking a couple of verses outside of the context of the entire swathe of the Book, Epistle or Gospel where they are found, and conflate and confuse individual justification / incorporation into Christ with corporate ministry and election. Oh! And please DO NOT research about how Augustine of Hippo practically reinvented the meaning of the word "Predestination" or the view of the human will and its relation to the Divine one as it was classically understood in the early Christian Church, and how one of his greatest fans - John Calvin - picked up this novel (non Christian) doctrine (double predestination) in the 16th century and stuck it on steroids: John Calvin calling it "the terrible doctrine" - which it is of course - but not for the same reasons he was applying the term... Now that you're a Calvinist you will be keenly aware that this doctrinal system (see the doctrines of grace) seems to tarnish the character of God and human moral responsibility and accountability (even though it sincerely and rightly seeks to stress the primacy of grace)... but remember! You are honoring God and His Scripture by swallowing this hard to swallow view of Sovereignty (meticulous determinism), Election and Reprobation (unconditional election), and man only having the illusion of free will (total depravity / inability)... The thing is though (between you and me and the entire Christian East and much of the West who do not hold to Augustinian Calvinism, and who all but you minority of Reformed folk, reject double predestination) you're not actually honouring God or his word in conforming to this system, you're actually simply honouring the thoughts of these men and their interpretive tradition) 😬✌️💚😂
Thank you, sir, for a clear, SCRIPTURAL presentation of the FULL picture we are given of God's story. Especially when you "pull back the curtain" of Paul's purpose in Romans 1! I never realized that he was using "snippets " from the Old Testament --something that he EXPECTED the readers to understand 😮 His purpose was to show our inability on our own to be saved, NOT that we have a despicable nature from the womb🙌🏻
This guy has no clue !
Debate James White !
Total Depravity" is a concept that has been "comprehended" humanistically. John Calvin does not imply that man is separate from God's creation and directives. He implies that man in his fallen state is incapable of saving himself and putting himself "in Christ" as the Apostle Paul has written.
Jesus Christ lives to make intercession forever. He intercedes for those He died, for the sheep that were given to Him by the father.
James White will pay his way to your church for a moderated Debate ! Man up !
Debate James White !
It's too simple that's why it's beyond you.
Its interesting to note that we think that the five points of Calvin (TULIP) is law, if God did not write it (or say it) it is false prophecy whether we believe it, or not. The doctrines of tulip is not found in scriptures, only in the minds of heretics. Thank you for your video. And Amen!
Thank you for tucking Romans 3 back into its context, Pastor!!! And the other proof texts of Calvinism, as well.
Sound doctrine will abide any Scrutiny from itching ears! 2tim4 v3.4
Calvinism is guilty.
Calvinism is false. picked according to freewill.
Thank you for these powerful words. Preaching reality has been unpopular over the ages, but understanding God’s Grace should put us all on our knees. None deserves such love as this. Praise God He is such a forgiving , loving, patient Father.
Calvinism in a nutshell. God created an entire world of people, in His image, who hate Him, who are His enemies. Then He forcefully picks some to not hate Him and…. to bring Him glory, He torments the rest for all eternity. whaaaah?😦😦
Debate James White !
Please show me where free will and a natural repentance that cause God to save and sanctify the apostle Paul? No sinners prayer. No seeking Christ. No offer by Christ as if Paul had anything to say or contribute to his salvation as a chosen vessel in the service of Jesus. No choice in the matter of his apostleship. No choice in the scope and sphere of his calling. No say in the manner of his suffering, imprisonment, and death. Paul says he is a pattern of salvation of all believers. The wicked and perverted mind and heart of man imposing his enslaved sinful will on the holy scriptures. We will see how all this plays out on Judgment Day when the secrets of men's hearts are revealed by Paul's gospel. I give all glory and honor to God, who saved a wretch like me in spite of my path to perdition because of what Christ provided on my behalf as Savior and redeemer. If God didn't intervene and deliver me from the power and curse of sin, I should have been lost and damned forever.
you think God choose you because you first chose Him? 😂😂
Adam talked with God in the garden after the fall
THANK YOU!
Very wise advice on bible interpretation.
As we don't know who the elect are the gospel is preached within hearing Of all hoping the good seed Responds I was saved before I heard the Gospel preached I believed in God but not in Jesus until I came to the light Jn3v21 Then I began to read the bible And increased in knowledge!
No, you were not saved at all before you heard the gospel preached, because it is the gospel that saves. By the foolishness of preaching, it pleased God to save those that believe. You have to hear the gospel, by it being preached, to be saved. Romans 1:16 King James Version For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 1 Corinthians 1 KJB 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
Paul heard Stephen preach but it had no effect on him He was still out to destroy the christians until he was blinded On the Damascus Road Acts9v5 Jesus revealed himself to Paul He is a chosen vessel Jesus said to ananais Who doubted! The parable of the sower The seed must fall upon the good soil for people to be saved!
@@angloaust1575 Do you believe a person is saved by believing, and do you think they can lose their salvation after they have believed?
Simon the sorcerer believed and was baptised altho not with the Holy Spirit Even Judas believed but was lost The son of pedition!
@@angloaust1575 That really didn't answer my questions. Where does the Bible say, that Judas believed?
As Spurgeon says ~ Calvinism is Biblical Christianity. Anyone here know more than Spurgeon? I didn't think so
Don't idolise a man, Spurgeon's words are not God breathed and even satan can appear as an angel of light. Corinthians 3:19 KJV - For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 1 Corinthians 1:25 KJV - Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. Proverbs 12:23 KJV - A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
No man has perfect understanding, therefor all hold some false beliefs. Be a good Berean and figure out what is true.
Spurgeon saying so does not make it God's word, nor does it carry weight. Was Spurgeon perfect? Was he given special devine revelation? No, he did not, he was just a man with human faults and human failings. Do not put any human above scripture.
Romans 5:12 "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned--" People are born sinful. Dead spirtually. Philippians 1:29" For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him," Faith is a gift of God.
This is also in Romans 5, says that the free gift came upon all man. Romans 5 KJB 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
@livingforjesus8551 Yes. But his death did not save everyone. That would be Universalism. People have to have a personal relationship with Jesus. Romans 5:19 KJV-"For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous."
@@kevinjodrey7664 I know his death didn't save anyone. Calvinists say that Jesus didn't die for everyone, but he did. There are other scriptures that says he did also.
@livingforjesus8551 The Gospel is to be preached to everyone and presented to everyone but there are only certain people that will accept it, so his death is only for those people. If not then there would be people in Hell who Christ died for, and then his death would not have saved them, and that can't be.
@@kevinjodrey7664 Who said that cannot be, that those people in hell, Jesus couldn't have died for them. That is not in scripture at all. Peter even said that there are false teachers that end uo in hell, but Jesus still bought them. Jesus said, he came to seek and to save that which is lost. Every one is lost, so, that means he came to seek and to save everyone. Paul said, this is a faithful saying, that Jesus came into the world to save sinners. If you are a sinner, congrats, Jesus came to save you. What else did Paul say, everyone is a sinner, that means Jesus came for everyone. 2 Peter 2:1-3 King James Version 2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
I think this guy is way too lenient on calvinism. They don't differ on "minor things", they completely change the gospel of Jesus Christ and it is absolutely heresy.
Paul was sure angry at the Judaizers teaching another gospel to the Galatians, and he was angry that they allowed themselves to be fooled by their heresy.
You're apostate. You believe you can allow the leaven of sin in the Church! 1 Corinthians 5
There was also no law at that time either. This is why sin was not imputed, even though they did sin. Today we have no excuse and are to give an account. Why did Paul cast out the two men in 1 Timothy 1? Why did he tell the church to cast out from among the church the man who was a fornicator?
We also have to remember that the OT saints did not have Jesus nor His Holy Spirit, therefore did not yet have a way of escape but the same is not true for us; 1 Corinthians 10:13
Ever heard of repentance? Ezekiel Chapter 18 21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? You're a part of the problem with the church being full of workers of iniquity.
Calvinism is Biblical Christianity. Prove me wrong if u can. I know u cant but amuse me
If a person is unable to hear and believe the gospel under Calvinism Why preach to persuade so that they may believe? Why did Jesus speak in parables? Why does Satan blind minds? Why send a strong delusion so they might not believe? Why did Jesus say ye are unwilling to believe ? How can the unrighteous hold the truth in unrighteousness? Why are hearts hardened? Why did the LORD look, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God?
Calvinism is extra-biblical Christianity. No one would become a "Calvinist" if they stuck with Scripture only. The only way to learn it is to be introduced to it it through a Calvinist author, preacher, or teacher... who also learned it from a Calvinist author, preacher, or teacher... or who has been a student of systematic theology.
Welcome to the world of Calvinism. The following words found throughout holy Scripture will now be highly logically problematic - both to the natural reasonable man, and the spiritually illumined one: "If" "Reward" "Choose" "Punishment" (now practically meaningless and totally incoherent in light of the Reformed theory of compatibalism and irresistible / effectual grace) The following words will now also have to be somewhat "tweaked" (utterly changed from what they clearly and simply mean)...

Free will in Spiritual things is a fallacy.
Tell that to Jonah.
It appears no one can answer this. No man CAN come to me unless it has been granted by the Father. JOHN 6:65, or ALL that the Father gives me WILL come to me . JOHN 637a. The natural man does not seek after the things of God, neither can he know them for they are Spiritually discerned. 1 CORINTHIANS 2:14 It is by His doing you are in Christ Jesus. 1 CORINTHIANS 1:30 As as many as were Appointed to Eternal life believed. ACTS 13:48 Just because this man is learned does not mean he's correct.
All the references you gave are famous for having been ripped out of their contexts and made to bolster the false claims of men who are also learned--- but not in the Scriptures, as much as in Reformed confessions and catechisms.
I still haven't heard a satisfactory answer to "why does he find fault?" Who would question God like that when all he is doing wth the clay is punishing freewill agents using their agency to si and do evil? Who would call that unjust? In what way does God add consequences to actions of free will agents lead Paul to say "who are you o man to reply against God?" Can the leopard change its spots or the Ethiopian his skin? NEITHER can you change your ways who are accustom to evil. Moses said God has delivered you from Egypt but like Jobs ostrich he has deprived men of a discerning heart yo understand hence there is NONE that understands etc
Do not sinners love those who love them?
Great job

Is there any way to get the notes that are referenced in this talk?
There is a consistent error in these refutations of Calvinism, stated in the first 30 seconds of this video. The teacher says God has "picked out" those who will be Elect. No, that is not even remotely what Calvinist doctrine says. Rather, God creates individuals whose sole purpose is to be with Him in heaven, meaning there is no point at which they are picked out or chosen. That is why Calvinists, if they are honest, should mark through the words _chosen_ or _choose_ everywhere they occur in scripture.
Great lessons, i have work to do, saved and all... :-)
Me too, I have downloaded all 7 videos, very helpful, I will share with my friends. 😊👍
Thank you for taking time to produce your videos.
Listening to this guy,vexes my soul, like when Lot was in Sodom and Gomorrah, doesn't he have any fesr of God?? This is a crime the way he abuses his position to indoctrinate people by misrepresenting God and scripture, and you people applauding this need to start reading the word and studying it for yourselves and check what he or anybody says , this is part of the problem in Christianity. He commits the very thing's he spends the first 20 mins warning people about to try and prep they're mindset, this is not a responsible "pastor" "showing himself approved rightly dividing the word of truth " 2 Tim. 2:15 , the arrogance and pride and mocking tone are works of the flesh, not fruits of the spirit
Have you ever thought about Revelation 5:9, which says, "You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation"? Is it by chance that Jesus will end up saving people from every tribe and tongue and people and nation, or was that the plan? Did God just get lucky or did he bring about that result by his sovereign power? It's not that hard to figure out.
Have you ever thought about the verse that says, "We love Him because he first loved us"? When did he first love us? I'll tell you when: before the foundation of the world, when he chose us, unconditionally, in Christ, to be holy and blameless in his sight. Why any Christian would run away from this is beyond me.
Where does the Bible say, he choose us unconditionally in Christ, before the foundation of the world?
@@livingforjesus8551that’s what calvinists do. Take a verse and run with it
@@livingforjesus8551we weren't even at the beginning of the world to be in him to be selected. Only 1 was: The Word. It just so happens we are offered the right to be in him, and thus partake in his benefits, and thus we weren't chosen on our own, but HE is chosen, amd in as much as we're in HIM, we are too. It fits the language of the whole chapter so much better than thinking you or I were chosen before the world, but others weren't, as if we're the special ones. No we're invited to be partakers in the chosen one, and thus becoming chosen. It says chosen in him. Not chosen (regardless of him) It doesn't say chosen TO BE in him. Only those in him are chosen...anyone in him is chosen. There's no respecter of persons.
@@ravissary79 I fully agree.
Well, I finally made it to the end of this video, and all I can do is shake my head and say, "Man! I'm glad I'm not an Arminian." Sadly, the lengths to which you have to go to deny what is clearly taught in scripture are on full display here. 1 Thessalonians 1: 4-5: "For we know, brothers loved by God, that He has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not only in Word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction." And when did this choice occur? Before the foundation of the world. (See Ephesians 1:3,4) Was this choice conditional or unconditional? Election unto salvation, which is what is being described in the passage from 1Thessalonians quoted above, is clearly unconditional. (See -- and you knew I was going to go here -- Romans 9:9-24. Also Romans 8:29-30)
"Paul says everything's working according to the plan in the scripture." Whose plan? God's? Or man's? Well, according to the teaching in this video, I would have to conclude it's man's plan. Am I wrong? (The statement quoted above occurred around the 33 minute mark of this video.)
From Genesis to Revelation the Word of God is full of teaching on false prophets and false doctrine, it is the largest bible study I have ever undertaken. If doctrine did not matter then there would not be so many warnings about it, Truth Act 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. Lies Pro 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: Pro 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, Pro 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, Pro 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. Pro 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. False doctrine is lies, false prophets/teachers are liars it is just that simple. Because we have the availability of the Holy Ghost to guide us into all truth, if we do not allow the Holy Ghost to guide us then we will not make Heaven our home. Act 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. And there is the problem, people claiming to be Christians do not want the real truth, they want someone who will tell them the things they want to hear. And in that they resist the Holy Ghost.
Thank you for this.
