Calvinism tells people they don't have to make a choice, so what if someone wants to make a choice, but they were not chosen by God?
This makes people walk in perpetual fear that they may not be saved. All the Calvinists I have met are arrogant and judge everyone as unsaved who does not believe in Calvinism. Which makes no sense because how can someone know for sure who is saved and who is not if they don't know for sure who is chosen?
1 John 2:2 "2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."
So are we to assume God lied when He said He died for all? According to Calvinists.
By the way, why are people following Calvin when God said to only follow Jesus Christ?
Matthew 16:24 "Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."
1 Corinthians 3:3-5 "…3 for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man? 4 For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men? 5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role."
1 Corinthians 1:12 tells us not to follow men but to only follow Christ.
Sadly far too many people are adding to the word of God to make up their own ideas of religion, leading many people away from Christ.

Bible Teachers Who Add to the Truth to Make a Lie
I am grieved that so many Bible teachers are teaching the false narrative of the nephelim. The word nephelim in the original language means mighty men. Angels cannot procreate with humans because they have no seed and are a different species. The idea of giants created by devils in humans violates the scripture that God created the physical world in which each species mated with its own kind.
Genesis 1:24 "24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds:" God said there were godly men who married pagan women, and that there were giants in the land at the time, not that the union of those two humans created the giants.
Only God the Father could create a human being in the womb without a physical seed; devils cannot do this. To say the devils could do what God did is to make them gods and bring God the Father down. It is blasphemy to pretend devils can do what God the Father can only do.
Also, I am so sorry that well-known Bible teachers are attempting to answer questions with guesses. Guesses are not wise when answering Biblical questions. We ought to be able to say "that the Bible does not speak to that, so there is no answer." What could have happened that didn't should never be expressed.
Since prophecy tells us what did happen, it is foolish to guess at what would have happened if the prophecy had not been so. This is how so many teachers get themselves into false doctrine, by the mere suggestion at what could have happened but didn't.
We need to stop guessing at what might have happened or what could have happened that God never spoke about in the Bible.
I did this once when I pondered what would have happened if Sapphirah had talked her husband out of lying to the Holy Spirit. I was wrong in doing that, I see it now. It is best to speak about what did happen and what God said will happen, without any guesses.
Years ago, someone asked if the "other followers not of us" were aliens from outer space. It was a silly question when the context clearly says they are followers of Christ, just not in His immediate group. To add fantasy to the truth is to bring false doctrine.
Now we have people believing the "Nephilim" are back and walking the earth again; this is patently ridiculous.
I am grieved by how many times people put up news articles without any way of proving they are true. I recall when someone said once, "You know it must be true, because I saw it on the internet."
We are living in a world full of fantasy, sensationalism, and entertainment-minded Christians who have no problem distorting Scripture to make things more interesting.
Not only do they want to gain more followers, but they also want those followers to think they have special knowledge that will wow everyone.
Sadly, too many preachers get their information from other preachers who are caught up in extra-biblical texts such as the "Book of Enoch", which was not written by Enoch, but by someone else centuries after the flood. Not only does this book get much wrong, but it also has blasphemies in it.
These are the days just like those of Lot and Noah, in which the world is so full of lies and distortions that there is little faith and truth left upon the earth.
It is better to resist listening to modern-day preachers who are mesmerized and indoctrinated to believe fantasies.
Read the Word yourself, and pray that the Holy Spirit will show you the truth. I listen to some teachers but am very careful to compare the wording of the bible with what they say so that I do not believe anything that is not Biblical. Keep everything within the context of the entire Bible and the Holy Spirit will guied you.
John 16:13-14 "13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.…"
How can we tell if someone has truth? If what they say brings glory to God and not to themselves.

The Most Important People in our Lives: Christ and our Spouse!!!
It is a betrayal of our wedding vows to make any other family member more important than our spouse. (A form of adultery)
SPOUSES ALWAYS COME FIRST ABOVE ANYONE ELSE!

Why Do People Go To Church
Why do many people "go to church"? It's because they don't understand that when we are born again, we "are" the church.
Traditions have trained people to use "going to church" as a way of feeling safe, expecting blessings for doing so, and having someone to turn to when there was no one else, that is, God.
Sadly, their idea of God is someone who gives them their needs and desires while keeping them safe from life.
And, worse, many attend church gatherings to impress others, making their friends and family believe they are good people for following the rules and being decent to others.
None of these things should motivate us to attend gatherings.
Jesus Christ died a brutal death to pay the penalty for our sin, the death we deserved. He took it for us and promises to come and live in us when we trust in Him. He has promised to keep us from spiritual death and give us the strength to get through this life, which is full of difficulties and emotional traumas because of the fall of man thousands of years ago.
Not only does He promise to remain with us here, but He promises to take us to our heavenly home to be with Him when we leave this life. He decides when we leave and gives us the peace and joy until that happens.
Romans 6:23 "…22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
1 John 5:11-12 "And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life."
John 10:28 "I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand."
Ephesians 3:11 "according to the eternal purpose that He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord."
1 Peter 2:23-25 "…23 When they heaped abuse on Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats, but entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly. 24 He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. “By His stripes you are healed.” 25 For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.…"
Notice God says Christ is the overseer of our soul, not ourselves and not any other human being.
Hebrews 9:28 "so also Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him."
We were not able to pay our own debt for our own sin, only the sinless Son of God, Jesus Christ, could do it.
Because of this, we owe Him everything; instead of using Him like a celestial sugar daddy with our hands continually out, we should be bowing before Him, asking Him to give us the power to carry out His will, and asking Him to transform us into His likeness.
Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God."
2 Corinthians 4:7-10
"7 But we have this treasure in earthen containers, so that the extraordinary greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;
8 we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;
9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying around in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body."
Hallelujah!!!! Depending on Christ brings great joy and peace no matter what we must endure on this earth.

Wow, this describes all my family members, as though it was a culture that trained them to think like this. Perhaps pride was fostered so much so that no one can admit anything about themselves and spends all their words praising themselves. They really do blame everyone else for their bad behavior and ignore anyone else's successes.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 " But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these."

Excusing Sin is to Spit in God's Face
Anyone who is using the excuse for their sin that God doesn't care about it anymore because they are under the blood is a liar, twisting God's Word to justify their sin or the sin of someone they love.
Those who do not hate their sin are lying when they say they are a Christian. When Christ transforms us into a new creation, we hate sin we would never boast about it. We would be ashamed and confess it to be cleansed but we would never fight to defend it.
1 John 1:9 "9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
And, 1 John 3:9 "No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God."
