From a Calvinist Perspective
By: guest8 Date: April 2, 2020, 6:36 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
As always I urge you not believe a word that is written in this
thread but rather be a good Berean and find out for yourself in
Acts 17:11......For GOD in Pro 25:2..(KJV).."It is the glory of
God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out
a matter."

**********
Hi, I consider myself a leaky Calvinist. The reason I say
leaky, is that I do not completely follow the namesake of the
Calvinist theology (John Calvin).
Most people get Roman 8:29-30 all wrong but admit: "Obviously we
cannot transform ourselves. Only the power of God can do that."
Are you like others before you, who say men were born of sin but
have no Free-Will. I want to ask...Was Adam and EVE predestined?
Were they saved by the Grace of GOD? Jesus had not died on the
Cross YET! I expect, when we get to heaven we will see both of
them there.
One thing I can tell you is that Adam had Free Will. So did Eve.
She did not have to follow Satan's advise but by her own
Free-Will she did. Adam did not have to partake of the fruit
even though Eve gave it to him but by his own Free-Will he
did.....
Thus, Free-Will was created in both Adam and Eve by GOD and the
sin that we have, was brought on by mankind's downfall.
Don't blame God for something our forefathers did!.
For John 3:16 tell us.."For God so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life."
Yes, for God in an eternity past already knew each of us and
knew what we would do given the choice of being with Him for an
Eternity or being without Him for an Eternity.
Those that would accept HIM, He predestined.
For all of the people, He loved them SO much that He gave a book
(Holy Bible) that had John 3:16. He would tell the world and
everyone in it that all they had to do is believe in His son who
died on a Cross (for everyone's sin who would accept it). Yes,
I did say everyone, yet there are those that had rather be among
others (sin and satan) than be with HIM.
Therefore, GOD loves you SO MUCH that he will not force you to
live with HIM.
He loves you SO MUCH that He will abide by your choice made by
you Free-Will.
He loves you SO MUCH that HE will carry the burden of not being
with the Children of His creation who do not want to be with
Him.
Yet, If He had forced us all to love HIM, we would have no
FREE-WILL. We would be automatons. What kind of LOVE would that
be????
Another choice He had at creation, would be to simply leave us
to our own doings, remove the restrainer(the Holy Spirit) and
let man's evil consume himself....Today, we could end it very
quickly and most likely WILL.
Yes, we would still have Free-Will, but Free-Will to do what?
DIE, a death where there would be NO life after this life (Both
body and soul would die) confirming what Atheist have said
throughout the centuries; there is no GOD as there is no life
after this life.
Some will say that GOD's anger forces those who do not chose to
believe in His son, to be tormented in the Lake of Fire. Yet,
the words "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." is spoken
of in the pages of the Holy Bible thirty-nine times.
Every Human being has ears and as such the Holy Bible, HIS WORD
is spoken to each one of us and He tells us.
Rev 3:13..."He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches."
Rev 3:20..“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my
voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a
meal together as friends."
For GOD loves you SO MUCH that He will not force you to Live
with Him forever.[/u]
I am sure that if by chance He is wrong and did not predestined
the right number of people, from that eternity ago, who would
believe in Him; He would GLADLY call, justifiy, sanctify and
glorify you so that you can be with him forever and ever.
It is of course, your choice, a Free-Will Choice!
Blade
