Calvinist Kitchen...stirring the pot

[NOV25]

Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times,
He now commands all people everywhere to repent.
► Acts 17:30

What does it mean to repent?

 

[eternally-gratefull]

We all know why he can't.......!!!!! The truth, honestly evaluated, makes mince meat of Calvin's dogma!

It’s not even about Calvin. He can’t just tell people his doctrine he has to attack them while doing it by spreading lies. Grandpa never did that

Matthew 7

Wow..that’s very informative,it certainly spoke to me...thank you very much.

 

[Magenta]

All people. Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Atheists.... from all countries.

The whole world.

 

[dcontroversal]

You are right it is not in scripture but that is what they believe and that is why they are wrong.

but it is....

Broad nd wide is the path that leads to destruction.....for straight and narrow is the path that leads to life

EVEN THIS VERSE INDICATES CHOICE.....ONE MUST CHOSE which path to walk and WHAT GATE TO ENTER!

 

[oyster67]

They're uptight that you used a meme while others accuse Reformed belief as Satanic. Um. Talk about hypocrisy...

Their hearts are factories of straw men arguments...lol.

There is nothing strawman about stating "Calvinism is satanic". It is straight to the point. You tell people that all is hopeless because they are predestined for Hell. You have been warned. You are completely without excuse.

What does it mean to repent?

First to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, then to everyone in the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I declared that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds worthy of their repentance.
► Acts 26:20

Repentance means turning from a life of sin, the unforgivable one ultimately being denying God.

If we "should" repent, are we forced to, or are we given a choice?

 

[jackrosie]

But you did have a choice or else whatever invaded you was not a right spirit.

I have NEVER heard anyone say this kind of experience in coming to know God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit


Just stating facts I've gathered through reading forums!

I never had a choice The Holy Spirit was irresistible to me....he drew me and chose me....he willed me to him.

I have no problem what you think.....it was supernatural experience for me,..because you never heard it before..doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.....the Holy Spirit has manifested into my heart.

He has called me for his purpose and I know exactly what that purpose is...sorry you don’t understand it.....as long as I do....I don’t mind what you think/ believe.

I had a Holy calling.

Here we go again ...

I will refrain from saying anymore.

 

[Magenta]

If we should repent, and God now commands it, would He make it impossible for any?

 

[eternally-gratefull]

What does it mean to repent?

You can have no faith until You repent. Otherwise you have East believism. Faith without repentance.

 

[PennEd]

I do not grasp how they can deny....God would have ALL MEN be saved and come to repentance or the knowledge of the truth....and if you applied their false logic and Calvinistic flower policies.....all men would be saved!

Coming to the knowledge of the Truth (Jesus Christ’s death for sin debt, and resurrection) does not equate to Salvation.

That was the dude’s in Hebrews 10 giant error. They had the knowledge but not the Truth (Jesus).

You just did.

 

[oyster67]

Well that’s good to know, because Jesus also said most will not be born again as well. Thanks for that bit of info about Calvin.

Yes, Jesus did say that most would choose to reject Him. So what is your point?

Matthew 7

Matthew 7:7 Isaiah 45:22 + Revelation 3:20

Because they weren’t born again?..many profess to being born again but they aren’t.you must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God.

True, but it didn't say anything about God never giving them a chance, did it?

"Supernatural" is NOT in my KJB,therefore it is not to be believed........your words not to be believed if it isn't in there!

I won't if I feel so moved but something stinks in Denmark.....and it ain't the fish

Spirit is..Holy Spirit entered into my heart....not really interested in what you believe of me.

I believe God and my dear friend that is all that matters..are you saying I’m not saved?
