Sermon on Calvinism: God is Sovereign (Part 1) 

As if that's uniquely Calvinistic

@@Emper0rH0rde if one be theologically consistent, then it is.

In spite of Calvin.. God will be YHWH.. I loved p.j. statement of "not" reading Calvin

This verse really says a lot - (1 Timothy 2:3-4) “This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

Nothing is too hard for God but He won't force Himself on anyone. Repent of Calvinism (satanism).

thats why we arw thrown on the mercy seat of Gods grace. Jesus is the means while the Holy spirit is the application!!!!!

Just ..in aggony from sin we are..beat our chest like the ...sinners that we are ...begging God to save us...grant us Faith in the death, resurection and shedding of Christ blood for remession of our sins..

Limited atonement? 1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. NO. Limited to the elect only? Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. YES. Only the elect are justified. I am forever praising and believing Jesus is the Christ, and this is pleasing to God.

@@robertcoupe6514 Jesus died for all mankind. Calvinism is Satanism.

​@robertcoupe6514 would you agree with the statement that God knows everything? Does he not know how every day of all of ours lives play out from here on until the return of Jesus? He knows exactly who will and will not receive Him. Does anything change because of that? Do people die not receiving Christ with repentance? If they do, then was that not predestined to be because of God being all knowing and sovereign?

@jonhester8909 what a tragic testimony that you’ve become a Calvinist. From one error to another one far worse. Praying you will one day become a Christian 🙏🙏

Why does hell have to enlarge herself, to accommodate men, if God only choose a few to be saved, and to hell with the rest? Isaiah 5:14 King James Version 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

Amen praise God. I'm a PK from a Pennsylvania American fundamentalist premillennialism cult, loveless and incompetent fake nice. I could never be a zombie bump on a log so I was bad. Turns out, I am bad and incurable (Jeremiah 31) and that's why Christ was Crushed, as the Scapegoat Kinsman Redeemer of Israel. The bible is proven true by these truths.

I'm confused. So, what drew you? What if your story omitted the "prayers of believers"?

Seconded

How would he have mercy on you if you haven't repented? Don't you Calvinists believe that you don't know who is saved?

Same I made a practice of it with zero repentence.

Too bad about those billions of others whom God created to torment though. But at least you can take joy that you’re not one of them.

Evan U are you talking about those in Sodom and Gomorrah? Or every soul on earth during the time of Noah? Or all the Egyptians during the time of Moses? Tell me, is the Father evil for ordaining the humiliation, torture and death of His son Jesus? My God is the Alpha and Omega, the great I Am and He is fully sovereign over all that is good and evil. He doesn’t fit in a box that I’ve created out of my fallen sense of morality or justice. I weep knowing that God would save a sinner like me.

@@evanu6579 perhaps you should go back to the Scripture and find what God actually says about himself and the fact that he is free to do with his creation as he pleases. He is not obligated to save anyone, yet he graciously saves many. if you don't like the one true God of scripture, perhaps you should pursue one of the many false cults of the world?...

Daniel Burger God can do whatever He pleases. I agree 100% Deu 5:29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever! Isa 48:18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: 19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me. Jer 3:12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. Jer 26:3 If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings. Eze 18:23 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? 30 ¶ Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. 31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Matt 23:37 ¶ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Rom 11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. So does God want all men to be saved? Would He set up a system that would guarantee the whole of humanity to perish with no opportunity to do otherwise? It would certainly go against His character and His desires. It would make him the great deceiver that the Quran claims God to be.

zandrello I’ve looked into God’s character. Calvinism is blasphemy my friend.

Lol

Too bad that God is behind all of that evil (according to Calvinism). He ordained it all to happen right down to the letter. You can’t twitch or blink an eye unless God has ordered it from before the foundation of the world. So do you think that God looker down through time to see what you would do so that He could order them before the foundation of the world, Or are your every moves coincidentally lining up with every preordained prescription that God made before the foundation of the world, Or is God meticulously controlling your every move to line up exactly as He decreed? What about the rapist and murderer? How do they fulfill every thing to the smallest grunt when they rape a child or the exact motion when they thrust a knife into their victim, precisely as Hod decreed them to do? Is it by chance or does God manipulate their every move? This is Calvinism btw. This is what you believe if you follow Durbin. (That’s if you answered that God manipulates every last one of us).

Yes the meaningful evil of the little boys and girls getting raped by grown men, thank God for that happening. It means so much to whomever it saves. I have no doubt it helps some and I can't pretend to know anything much less some things but that doesn't seem right does it?

You said “because I trust Jesus”. Who were you trusting before you were reformed? You know that every Christian (reformed or not) is trusting Jesus. Otherwise they wouldn’t be a Christian. Question for you. Do you believe that God ordains all things whatsoever come to pass as taught by Jeff and James W?

Tonya Comeaux If you chose to trust Jesus then you did play a role in your salvation.

Amen...“No unbelief made him(Abraham) waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, ❤️fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised❤️.That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.”” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4:20-22‬

@@evanu6579 He said nothing wrong or inconsistent. Before he was trusting in himself to have been the one to determined if he is saved or not, and by that, he was trusting in himself for his security. Sounds like now he has realized that it is not of himself in anyway and that is 100% Jesus which brings a much more sound sense of security.

@@protruth1 he never said he chose to. What he said was perfectly fine and only isn't when YOU add his choosing. He simply said he is trusting Jesus. that is faith. He did NOT say it was of himself. I dont know why you people are trying to critique something that isn't there. Are you not trusting in Jesus?

So no need to defend the doctrine of the resurrection?

@@friendlyfire7509 these quarrels neither save nor condemn. Now, brother, if you need to defend in spirit and truth then by all means, do so. I suppose you could call The Resurrection a doctrine but it is, to me, The Truth which I can't deny. But I think that most church doctrine is neither here nor there and hasn't much to do with worshipping in Spirit and Truth.

Voddie is awesome His grace is irresistible and the life preserver does not save us let alone our response. The Blood water body and eternal living intercession of Christ Himself in the Holy of Holies saves sinners and turns them from their wicked ways and false idols and foreign gods.

Maximos Smith those men were not sovereign like God. God had complete power over them in their “reign”

Evan U Not in Calvinism, He isn’t. He must bow to the dictates of their doctrine. They’ve fenced God in.

Evan U the question doesn’t make sense. The question wouldn’t be “is He sovereign enough to grant free will” It’d be “did He do it that way? “ and yes God gave men free will but He reigns over their free will. That’s why you should read the Bible. And 1 as 2 Kings and see how God Rose up a nation to destroy another for being wicked

Byron Loves Why were they wicked? Did God ordain for them to be wicked?

Evan U romans 9 has a very clear answer for u .. yet God is righteous Himself

Calvinism is a different Gospel friend. It’s not some incantation that you speak into the air to see if God will bring a corpse to life. Paul actually pleaded with people and tried to make them jealous. He tried to persuade them. You wouldn’t do that to a dead body.

@@evanu6579 Calvinism is indeed a very dangerous doctrine to teach.

He sgood

God is an ifb as am I

What is an ifb

@@repentorperish1386 independent fundamental Baptist. The suit and tie, church 3 times a week, kjv only, only Christian music and movies allowed to be watched, alcohol consumption is always a sin and the list goes on…..types.

@@NuNuRokd ok thanks

Paul said he became like those under the law in order to Win those under the law. He became all things to all people. That's why he had Timothy circumcised yet preached against it. So the point is Jeff uses KJV so those caught up in KJV onlyism will actually listen otherwise they would miss the entire sermon refusing to listen to a modern version. You see?

This was mindblowing to me when I heard this line. My perspective vs. God's perspective (Biblical Truth).

I am a 0/5 pt Calvinist... God must draw us first. John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him. But also Matt 22:14 many are called, but few are chosen.

@@thomasharner1905 If God is the one who draws, then pray that God draw you. Psalms 69:18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies. Psalms 145:18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. Hosea 6:1 Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. Zechariah 1:3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts.

Phillip Evans No sense in n praying for anyone’s salvation in Calvinism. You’re either created for eternal torment or created for eternal bliss. There’s nothing you can do to change any of it.

In John 6, God was drawing those who had learned from the Father. That statement is taken from the OT. God taught through the prophets but they wouldn’t receive instruction. God used John the Baptist to turn the hearts of the people to the Father. Everyone who repented would believe in Jesus. The rest of the Jews were hardened as laid out in Rom 11. Matt 21:31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him. Gentiles weren’t allowed into the kingdom until 3.5 years after Jesus’ death. So Israel was the audience in John 6 and they were either hardened and couldn’t come or they already feared God and would come. That’s not Calvinism. That’s the bible. God bless.

“Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭19:21‬ ‭👍

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Too bad about the billions whom God created to be so depraved and addicted to sin that they would undoubtedly be damned. He actually made them guilty at birth by the deeds of Adam so that He could torture them for all eternity. I guess you’re one of the lucky ones.

@@evanu6579 Like I said, limited atonement is not explained well. I don't think it is accurate when explained by most theologians.

You explanation is not accurate as well. We choose to go against God. Calvanism teaches free will, but without God we only choose sin. People commit evil and God lets them do it for his good plan to restore Earth to its original state.

Levi Williams Calvinism teaches that God ordains all things whatsoever come to pass. Every eye twitch was ordered by God to happen before the foundation of the world, according to Calvinism. That’s what Jeff and James believe. But if you don’t want to believe that, that’s fine. You still have to conclude that God who is sovereign in all things was also sovereign in creating the nature of man. So man does what he is designed to do and cannot thwart what God has instilled within him. They therefore were created for the purpose of torment. God made it sure and absolute. Not only that, but Calvinism also teaches that God made man guilty and worthy of hell from something Adam did. Even though He said He hates such things..... Eze 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? So was God “equal” in having all of Adam’s descendants bear his iniquity?

Levi Williams Right and I guess for every man God has chosen to save there are 10 he has chosen to send a hell. I am a born-again spirit filled evangelist and I wouldn’t serve a God like that, that’s a monster.

I can't wait

Cracked me up! 😂

Be sure to watch it though. You might learn something.

Where do you stand now? 😊

@bradgarcia716 Still an open theist, unfortunately 😂

Have you ever wondered how God ordains all things whatsoever come to pass as taught by Calvinism? How can God order every action of rapist without causing those actions? Answer....He can’t. Calvinism is sick and twisted and you should really hear people from the other side of the debate. He takes passages out of context constantly. Be careful. God bless.

@@evanu6579 Its exactly as you say. He ordains it without causing it, Lets look at a powerful example of that in Scripture Joseph, Joseph was the second youngest of twelve brothers born to Jacob, who was called Israel. In Genesis 37:3-4 we read, “Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made an ornate robe for him. When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.” The same passage also discusses two dreams Joseph had that angered his brothers; the dreams indicated his brothers would someday bow to him. Joseph’s brothers also despised him due to their father’s overt favoritism toward him. One day, Joseph traveled to check on his brothers while they were watching their sheep. His brothers plotted against him, threw him in an empty well, and later sold him as a slave to some traveling Midianites. Applying animal blood to his “ornate robe,” they returned home and made Jacob believe his son had been killed by wild animals. In the meantime, Joseph was taken to Egypt and sold to the captain of the guard, Potiphar, as a household slave. Joseph was later falsely accused of attempting to rape Potiphar’s wife and thrown into prison. While in prison, Joseph accurately interpreted the dreams of two of Pharaoh’s servants, who were also incarcerated. Later, Pharaoh had a disturbing dream no one could interpret. One of the servants Joseph had previously helped then suggested to Pharaoh that Joseph could interpret the dream. Joseph was summoned from prison, and he interpreted Pharaoh’s dream in such a powerful way that he was appointed second-in-command over Egypt. Pharaoh’s dream predicted seven years of famine. During the famine, Joseph’s older brothers came to Egypt to buy food. They did not recognize Joseph, now twenty years older, and he treated them harshly, pretending that he thought they were spies. Joseph kept one brother in prison until the others brought their youngest brother, Benjamin, back to Egypt to prove they were not spies. They brought Benjamin with them on a return trip, and, after a series of twists that included his brothers bowing before him-in fulfillment of Joseph’s dream of long ago-Joseph revealed himself to his brothers. They were shocked, yet soon glad to be reunited. Joseph sent word for the entire family to join them in Egypt until after the famine. Later, when their father, Jacob, died, Joseph’s brothers feared that Joseph would take revenge against them for their prior treatment of him. They came to Joseph and begged for his forgiveness, appealing to a request their father had made before he died (Genesis 50:16-17) Joseph wept when he heard their appeal. Revenge was the last thing on his mind. Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives” (Genesis 50:19-20). In the story of Joseph and his brothers, we see the themes of forgiveness, the father-son bond, sibling rivalry, brotherly love, God’s sovereignty, and God’s greater good in times of suffering. Just like Joseph, we are called to forgive those who have offended us and see life’s experiences as part of God’s plan to help us serve others. God ordained this whole event for His glory and to preserve the Promised seed. So yes in a way we can't see at the time God is ordains terrible events for His glory later but that doesn't take away the responsibility or the person nor does it put responsibility on God. Or are you suggesting God is sinning for making Joseph’s brothers do that to him?

@@elimartin4107 Where does it say that God ordained the whole event? It would seem to me that God rescued Joseph out of the hands of his brothers and had them sell him into slavery instead where his plan would be fulfilled. Calvinism would claim that the brothers had no choice in hating their brother and wanting to kill him. They were directed to have their every evil thought and every evil act. They essentially are victims themselves as they will by punished for the acts they were caused to do. It robs God of His justness and robs man of his real guilt.

@@evanu6579sorry I posted without finishing. It happened so it was ordained nothing happens unless God ordains it. Proverbs 16:9 heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. Daniel 4:35 All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, “What have you done?” Lamentations 3:37 Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has commanded it? And that doesn't mean man is not responsible for what they do, they absolutely are.

@@evanu6579 We have to treat these people who go through these terrible things with care because man willingly did something to them that is damaging and sinful, and with the knowledge we have of God we can comfort them saying. Jesus will made a way for you He will deliver you. Look to Him, trust in Him, remember his promises He will wipe away your tears, He is the prince of peace. Because at the end of the day we can't gove comfort the way Jesus can.

Does that mean you tend to ignore most of the bible?

@@evanu6579 correct. They ignore much of that Bible so they can find an excuse not to repent of their sins. I pray for those who follow this demonic doctrine.

SaintNomad Did Paul desire to do good?..... Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. Sounds like fallen man can want to be right with God.

@@evanu6579 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

@@tricord2939 Yeah. Rom 3:27 ¶ Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Eph.2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Salvation Is the gift because it’s by grace through faith and not of works. Rom 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 ¶ But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, So faith isn’t a work and because we’re justified by faith and not works, that makes salvation a gift. That’s what Eph 2 is obviously saying. Follow the Greek. Rom 5:1 ¶ Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Faith is our access to grace and not the other way around. If God gave us faith then grace would be our access to faith. Calvinism is backwards and opposite of what the bible says. You only believe it because you were taught to read it into the bible. Take care.

@@evanu6579 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Your new age interpretation was foreign to the Apostle.

All whom the Lord saves will not perish. It's not speaking of every single sinner who's ever lived or will live. It's speaking about God's elect. The majority of salvivic scripture focuses on the elect rather than every single person. That's also the primary focus of Christ "all whom the Father has given me"

I agree, but want to discourage you from the harsh words. They are still brothers in Christ, they believe the gospel, Calvinism is a secondary issue. I believe it’s wrong, and sure, back that up, but calling a brother the teacher of a wicked scheme isn’t very loving. Just my opinion

@@marincusman9303 Calvinism is another gospel. It is not the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is: 1 Timothy 2 : 3-6 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. Acts 2 :21And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ 38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off-.... John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. The gospel of the Calvinist: "God arranges all things by his sovereign counsel, in such a way that individuals are born, who are doomed from the womb to certain death and are to glorify him by their destruction.( John Calvin Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 23, Paragraph 6) “…salvation is freely offered to some while others are barred from access to it.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 21, Paragraph 5) The Holy Spirit tells me this is Heresy and a Doctrine of demons! Perhaps another leading Reformed Calvinist John Piper will make you see the teaching of this man is from the devil . John Piper stated: God . . . brings about all things in accordance with his will. In other words, it isn’t just that God manages to turn the evil aspects of our world to good for those who love him; it is rather that he himself brings about these evil aspects for his glory (see Ex. 9:13-16; John 9:3) and his people’s good (see Heb. 12:3-11; James 1:2-4). This includes-as incredible and as unacceptable as it may currently seem-God’s having even brought about the Nazis’ brutality at Birkenau and Auschwitz as well as the terrible killings of Dennis Rader and even the sexual abuse of a young child . . . They the Calvinist has wormed their way into christian circles and have made weak Christians think that they are brothers and just another denomination! They are not. Don't let your tolerance for heresy blind you. WE are commanded to expose these wolves who shipwreck the faith of many!!! They make god a monster! Truth in love

wrong God decided it all. Your ancestor was put there for a purpose but he will not lose one and no one will force themselves on Him. 😊

@@QuakerTaker Wrong? What are you talking about. Lol. Calm down.

Do you believe the torment in the lake of fire will be literally endless?

@@nikokapanen82 That's what the Bible says and Jesus said,if your eye causes you to sin,pluck it out or your hand causes you to sin,cut it off,better to enter Heaven maimed than to enter Hell whole.That's pretty radical.Men go to Hell for their sin and all men sin with knowledge that they are sinning.So if God has saved you from your sin,rejoice.

@@CBALLEN So you believe God planned it from the beginning for most people to scream, mourn, weep, cry in horror and the flames of fire forever and ever?

@@nikokapanen82 Does God know all things? Yes Did anyone force God to create who He created or did He create who He was pleased to create? He created what pleased Him. Did God know who His people were and who would go to Hell before He created them? Of course So since God knew the sheep and the goats before He created them and if He created certain people they would indeed end up in Hell,doesn't it make sense that this was His plan? Absolutely Is God ever wrong? Never.

​@@CBALLEN It is true that God uses certain people for his purpose. Romans 9:17. It is also true that God is not a respecter of persons, just and right is he. Deuteronomy 10:17; 32:4. Acts 10:34. If you look closely, Pharaoh was capable of hardening his own heart, and "sinned yet more". Exodus 8:32; 9:34. Furthermore, he had a frog fetish. "To morrow" Exodus 8:9-10. God didn't just make Pharaoh do what he did, He helped Pharaoh do what he did. "Does God know all things?" I wouldn't try to place any boundary on God. "Did God know who His people were and who would go to Hell before He created them?" That's a fair question. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning (TIME) God created the heaven (SPACE) and the earth (MATTER). If God created existence, then God is not contingent on existence. Time began in Genesis, and it exists for our benefit, not His. Therefore, I have a question. Is God restricted to linear time? You and I are stuck in the present, but God is not subservient to His creation. From that perspective, the beginning and the end of time and everything in between is visible in the eyes of God. Back to your question. "Did God know who His people were and who would go to Hell before He created them?" Better than that. He can see them going to hell right now as it happens. He can see our birth right now as it happens and he can see our funeral right now as it happens. Therefore, while predestination is true, how much do we understand it?

What do you think of the scripture saying that God creates the wicked for their day of judgement? Or when God says that he creates vessels of destruction as well as vessels of mercy. I don't identify as a Calvinist, just a believer trying to go deeper with the scriptures

@@emmanuelmoses7249 1 John 3:9 King James Version 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

All people does not mean all individuals. You have to keep in mind that for millenia, God's provision and Salvation was only for the Jews and nation of Israel, so it is said many times in many was in the epistles that this is for Jew and Gentile. "All people" or "the world" are just different ways of saying that it is for all nations, all people groups, but not every individual human being. God clearly did not want Pharaoh to relent and turn to him, he literally raised him up and hardened his heart. Esau was hated in the womb before he ever took his first breath.

How does the Calvinist explain Joshua saying, "Choose you this day whom you will serve?" Or 2Peter 3:9 saying, "The Lord is not...willing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance?" Knowing full well that most are on the broad road leading to destruction. Or Jeremiah 19:5 where God says, “They have built the high places of Baal to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal-something I did NOT COMMAND or mention, nor did it enter my mind.” Or Revelation 22:17 where it says, " Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who WISHES take the free gift of the water of life." Or Deuteronomy 30:10 where it says, " I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live?"

Dear girl, do you hear the Good Shepherd’s voice? Jesus tells us (John 10) that His sheep hear His voice. To be ABLE to repent of your sins and follow Him is only possible if He has drawn you to Him (John 6). BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ and YOU WILL BE saved! May you truly know His mercy and grace! ❤
