Calvinism is just that, from "Calvin" not from God and it is irrational not to mention blasphemous!!!!
The God of justice would never send someone to hell for not choosing if they were never allowed the choice to start with.
Psalm 11:7
7 For the Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness;
The upright will see His face."
No one is righteous of themselves, they must trust Christ become born again and then Christ's righteousness is accounted to the one He indwells.
Christ would never have said; 1 Timothy 2:3-5 "……3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,"
Calvin is not the mediator between God and man, and neither is any other man. Only Jesus Christ is the mediator and He said His desire was that ALL men become saved. He gives everyone every chance to choose Him, knowing that many will not.
Jesus Christ knew that all of Jerusalem would not accept Him so He wept that they would not. It is not God's pleasure that people perish in hell, how could it be when He gave Himself to be brutally beaten and hung on a cross to save the others.
Luke 19:41-44
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
41 And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, 42 saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side 44 and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
Israel did not receive their Messiah when He came, so He sent His prophets to the Gentiles. Now that the time of the Gentiles is almost finished, God will turn His attention back to Israel to once again evangelize them. One-third will trust Christ in the tribulation that is coming and two-thirds will perish. Israel will be the only nation on earth entirely trusting in Christ.
To bring us back to Calvinism, Calvin denied God's Israel and attempted to make the new Israel the church, a terrible lie from the devil.
Isaiah 54:7
"For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion, I will bring you back."
God is not only going to bring Israel back to Himself, He is going to do amazing miracles on her behalf. Then He will defeat all her enemies.
The stars would have to fall from the heavens before God would abandon Israel.
This is what God says to Israel:
"Isaiah 54:10
Though the mountains may be removed and the hills may be shaken, My loving devotion will not depart from you, and My covenant of peace will not be broken," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.'"
Calvinism is the devil's way of negating all the promises of God to Israel and inculcating pride into the hearts of arrogant people to believe God has taken away the promises to Isreal and given them to their church, not God's church, but their idea of their church. It is Catholicism plain and simple.
Calvin was a former Catholic who left the church only to take devilish doctrines from the Catholic church with him to the Protestant church.
He brought with him to Protestantism, the clergy and laity class which is unbiblical, infant Baptism as well as angst and hatred toward the Jewish people. If anyone uses his name to describe themselves they have a monstrous idol full of terrible doctrine and even heresy.
Calvin brought the false doctrine of false sovereignty of God, one that negates God's justice, His love and kindness in giving every person a choice to follow Him or not. God is sovereign, He has full control of everything but this does not mean He does not give choices.
Joshua 24:14-15
Choose Whom You Will Serve
14 “Now, therefore, fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. 15 And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
James 1:14-15
(14) But each one is tempted when he is drawn away BY HIS OWN DESIRES and enticed. (15) Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
If anyone has chosen Calvinism as their religion of choice I say to you "repent" and obey the scriptures, asking the Holy Spirit to expunge from their heart any false doctrine that men have taught them. "Let God be true and every man a liar," God says this!!!
If we trust in any man we have an idol. If we elevate any man above another man we have an idol. We can honor and respect others but we must never place them equal to God or in the place of God.
1 Thessalonians 5:21
"21 but test everything; hold fast what is good."
Next time someone comes to you and says; "Calvin says", stop them and say something like; "I will not hear from Calvin, I will only hear from Christ."
Mark 7:13 "13 Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”
Clergy/Laity classes....nullifies God's Word

4. Armenianism (names after a man)...nullifies God's Word.
5. All the holidays purporting to be Christian... nullifies God's Word.
6. Politicizing the church...nullifies God's Word.
7. False gospel of prosperity....nullifeis God's Word.
8. False teaching of forgiveness without repentance.....nullifies God's Word.
9. One man pastor system....nullifies God's Word.

12. Friendship evangelism....nulllifies God's Word.

15. Using man's techniques rather than the leading of the Holy Spirit in evangelism or any other work in the body....nullifies God's Word.
16. Psychological training from seculars used in the church has......nullified God's Word.
There are many more unscriptural things the modern church does that nullify the Word of God. The church has replaced instruction from the Bible with ungodly and hedonistic philosophies and is convinced they are right. When challenged to test the doctrines and read the word the people become angry and exclude those who want to get back to the Bible for their encouragement to obey God.
The church as a whole needs to repent!!!!! It's no wonder families are destroyed, if the families don't agree with the church the children follow the false church system rather than the teachings from God.
