The False Gospel of Calvin

The false gospel of "predestination" is growing in popularity but is completely irrational.

God is sovereign for sure but this does not mean a sovereign God cannot give choices. We know He does because He gave a choice to Adam and Eve to choose sin or to obey, they chose what all of us would choose.

A god who would determine ahead of time that some were born to go to hell without a choice and then punish them in hell for not choosing, because of His choice to see them suffer, is irrational and not the God of love.

Christ suffered terribly on the cross for all of mankind, the suffering, death, and resurrection make no sense if those going to heaven had no choice but to go there.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15: "He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again"

1 John 2:2: "He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for the whole world only"

John 3:16: "God loved the world"

Hebrews 2:9: "Jesus taste death for everyone"

Romans 5:6-8

"For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. / Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. / But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

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."

God loved the whole world and desired that everyone would be saved, knowing that most would not choose Him.

I have to ask those who believe they were chosen to go to heaven while others were chosen to go to hell, how do you know you are a chosen one, perhaps you only think you are one of the special ones?

Born-again believers know they are born again because Christ said that ANYONE who trusts in Christ will be changed into a new creation and sealed with the Holy Spirit. If this were not so then evangelism would make no sense, the cross would make no sense and choosing Christ would make no sense. Why bother to choose at all if God has already determined where we are going without any choice from us?

1 Peter 2:24

He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. “By His stripe you are healed.”

Our God is not a monster who enjoys the suffering of people, He does not gain anything from those who perish.

1 Timothy 2:3-6, 3This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time."

An unregenerate person who heard this blasphemous message of the "Calvinist" would say; "why bother, I am going where He wants me anyway." This is not the gospel message that only some have an opportunity to go to heaven, it is devilish and descouraging to those who are lost, but a source of arrogance and pride for those who think they are the ones chosen.

Perhaps many if not all who think they are special and chosen are the ones who were never born again, think about it!!!!

Matthew 7:21-23 "21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"

How do the "chosen ones" who follow Calvin know they are the elite chosen?
