Genesis 4:6-7
6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”

Deuteronomy 11:26-28
26 See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse— 27 the blessing if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today; 28 the curse if you disobey the commands of the Lord your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.

Deut.
17 But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, 18 I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.

19 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live

Joshua. 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

You are making a doctrine out of cherry picking a verse or two. You cannot read those verses and deny we have free will. If so, you take it one at a time and show me each error.

Iconoclast said:

I'm saying man has free will, to a point. God has allowed man to make a choice, to love him freely. A few years back a number of young women were on the news. They were tied in a man's basement, and one of them he had children with. Forced love is not love. God forces no one to serve Him, He wants us to do it out of genuine love and service to Him. I don't believe God created man sinful, that is what you'd have to believe if you believe God created some to be saved and some to be damned.

Iconoclast said:

No, I'm putting a mirror on what Calvin taught, some were created elect, others for damnation. That's not my belief. I just posted verses to the contrary. Calvin is the one who says that the non elect were created to be damned and cannot be saved from their sin. So if God created them that way, He would be the one held guilty for their sin. That's Calvins teaching, not mine.

rogerg · May 31, 2023

ThereRoseaLamb said:

You didn't make them up but neither did you consider them in light of the whole gospel message. Why do you think God tells us that He writes His laws into the heart and mind of those He saves? If He had to do that, then for those whom He does not save, His laws are not within them, and therefore, neither do they have free will.
In essence, I did explain each of your verses by the verse that I posted. Your verses must be first considered in light of those for understanding because they are applicable to all of yours. They demonstrate the spiritual conditions that unsaved man is trapped under. Namely, that the spiritually dead cannot comprehend nor choose, neither do they have free will, just as the physically dead cannot choose nor have free will - they are both oblivious to stimuli and incapable of choosing. They cannot of themselves, extricate themselves from their dilemma. God did not use the words "dead in trespasses and sins" frivolously. When He said "dead", He meant dead. First, we must be given spiritual life as a gift, and with spiritual life we also receive new spiritual minds. And having that, we comprehend the truth and would never, ever seek or desire to reject it, nor to return back to our prior spiritual state of death, were that even a possibility.

[Heb 8:10 KJV] 10 For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

[Eph 2:1 KJV] 1 And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins;
[Col 2:13 KJV] 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

I noticed you gave a thumbs down to the following verse, which is fine, but how do you thumbs down a verse of the Bible with
no other commentary around it?

[Act 13:48 KJV] 48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

Right exactly how I feel about Calvinism!

I never aim to be cute, I am making a point. NO ONE has said a person can save themselves. Everyone agrees God saves the sinner. smh What we don't agree with is the extra steps you try to add to salvation. Gave the verses to you, you agreed they were good verses, now you're going back on that??

So every infant that dies, every child that dies is considered elect? Look bro don't be hatin' on me. I follow the logic where Calvin takes it. I have asked this question to Calvinists before and got hedging answers at best. So clear it up here and now. Are all children considered elect till a certain age?

Iconoclast said:

I found this nice little paragraph that tells what I believe.
"Calvinism denies that each individual is responsible and accountable for their own sins committed in their own life, and will not be damned for the sins of anyone else, as the Bible teaches:"

Leviticus 18:29 ‘Everyone who does any of these detestable things—such persons must be cut off from their people (Personal responsibility)

Deut. 24:16
Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor shall sons be put to death for their fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin.

2 Kings 14:6
Yet he did not put the children of the assassins to death, in accordance with what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses where the Lord commanded: “Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.

Chron. 25:4

3 “As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel. 4 For everyone belongs to me, the parent as well as the child—both alike belong to me. The one who sins is the one who will die.

Eze.
The soul that sinneth, it shall die.

“I, the LORD, search the heart; I examine the mind to reward a man according to his way, by what his deeds deserve. Jeremiah 17:10 .

Matt
For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.

Romans 2:5-6
But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”

Romans 14:12
2 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.

II Corinthians 5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

1 Pet. 1:17
And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do.

Revelation 22:12
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Iconoclast said:

NO! Just the opposite. You are saying God has created a people, the non elect, that CANNOT respond to the Gospel. So did God created them or not?? You insist God created a people who cannot believe. So they were created to sin and die in that sin. That's Calvins view, yes?!

ThereRoseaLamb,

[God knowing the future doesn't mean He meddles in it!!]

You do not know the biblical God. God is totally involved in the creation . Every Christian understands this.

[ Again I am putting a mirror on what Calvin teaches. ]

No, Again you are avoiding real biblical interaction by hiding behind Calvin, who I doubt you even have read him at all. We were discussing the 1689 confession of faith, you cannot understand what you read, and seek to dismiss it and offer more strawmen. Start a thread on Calvin if you want.You can quote him and offer correction.

[He believed that God, for no particular reason randomly chose some to be elect and some to be damned.]

Off topic. What he believed is not the topic.

[Right exactly how I feel about Calvinism!]

No one cares how you feel!

[I never aim to be cute, I am making a point. NO ONE has said a person can save themselves. Everyone agrees God saves the sinner. smh What we don't agree with is the extra steps you try to add to salvation. Gave the verses to you, you agreed they were good verses, now you're going back on that??]

You offered good verses, that were all off topic.

[So every infant that dies, every child that dies is considered elect?]

You cannot read the plain statement? It did not say that at all! Maybe you are not capable of carring on a conversation. Do I have to explain every word to you?

[Look bro don't be hatin' on me. I follow the logic where Calvin takes it.]

I have told you 5 times now, this discussion is not about Calvin. Stop hiding behind this. Try and actually read with understanding.
[I have asked this question to Calvinists before and got hedging answers at best. ]

you are the one dancing all over the place and failing to answer.

[So clear it up here and now. Are all children considered elect till a certain age?]

Any person elected to salvation will always be elect.
There is no expiration date.
The confessional statement no where says..."all children".....it is speaking of one group Elect Children dying in infancy.

[I found this nice little paragraph that tells what I believe.
"Calvinism denies that each individual is responsible and accountable for their own sins committed in their own life, and will not be damned for the sins of anyone else, as the Bible teaches:"]

And we see you deny the fall as expressed in romans 3:23, romans 5:12-21.
As long as you deny the fall, you will not come to truth.
No wonder you do not get it. You are denying clear scripture.

[NO! Just the opposite. You are saying God has created a people, the non elect, that CANNOT respond to the Gospel. So did God created them or not?? You insist God created a people who cannot believe. So they were created to sin and die in that sin. That's Calvins view, yes?!]

Thanks for trying, but you lack the mental capacity to grasp this. It does not mean you are a bad person, just limited in that when it says all died in Adam....you cannot quite get it.

So, your Doctrine is literally based off the MYTHICAL HELLENIZED GREEK, not God's literal WORDS at all!

Let me show you what YOURs and Calvin's Hellenized Greek Bible has as God's Holy Word:

Your Doctrination, is based off, a Bible, that includes Greek Myth!

NO ONE on these Forums should ever give You or Anyone Else, who uses Greek Myth, for their Biblical Doctrine, the time of day!

And you claim I am Biblically Ignorant?

ThereRoseaLamb · Jun 1, 2023

Iconoclast said:

Man quit blowin' at the fur and get to the hide!! DO YOU believe the following, yes or no?

T- Total depravity-
teaches that, as a consequence of man's fall, every person born into the world is enslaved to the service of sin as a result of their fallen nature and, apart from the efficacious (irresistible) or prevenient (enabling) grace of God, is completely unable to choose by themselves to follow God, refrain from evil, or accept the gift of salvation as it is offered.

U- Unconditional Election-
describes the actions and motives of God prior to his creation of the world, when he predestined some people to receive salvation, the elect, and the rest he left to continue in their sins and receive the just punishment, eternal damnation, for their transgressions
God made these choices according to his own purposes apart from any conditions or qualities related to those persons.

L- Limited Atonement-
The doctrine states that though the death of Jesus Christ is sufficient to atone for the sins of the whole world,[2] it was the intention of God the Father that the atonement of Christ's death would work itself out in only the elect, thereby leading them without fail to salvation. According to Limited Atonement, Christ died for the sins of the elect alone, and no atonement was provided for the reprobate

I- Irresistible grace-
teaches that the saving grace of God is effectually applied to those whom he has determined to save (the elect) and, in God's timing, overcomes their resistance to obeying the call of the gospel, bringing them to faith in Christ.

P-Perseverance of the saints- teaching that asserts that once a person is truly "born of God" or "regenerated" by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, they will continue doing good works and believing in God until the end of their life.

You don't have some big magic formula that no one can understand. If you believe above I and other have literally knocked you out of the park with Scripture showing these beliefs to be wrong! Calvin wasn't the first to come up with this either. Now, do you believe the above or not?? Simple YES OR NO!!

Matthew 26:47-50

The Judas Kiss
47 While He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, suddenly arrived. A large mob, with swords and clubs, was with him from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48 His betrayer had given them a sign: “The One I kiss, He’s the One; arrest Him!” 49 So he went right up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
50 “Friend,” Jesus asked him, “why have you come?”[

Here we see Jesus calling the one who betrayed Him " Friend "...I see love here in Jesus towards His enemy and not hatred...
Judas was called a child of the devil , yet Jesus loved him...Does this not show that God does not hate those whom He has not called ?

We are called to love our enemies , so why are we called to love them if God hates them ?...These are just my thoughts...

Rosemaryx said:

Absolutely! The Bible clearly, directly, straightforwardly, says that Christ died for all who would believe and that God wishes that no one would perish. God does not hate the sinner. In Jer. it says "Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you." God pleads with His creation, turn, obey, come back, listen to my voice. The rejoicing over the one lost lamb. The prodigal Son, So he got up and went to his father. But while he was a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.”And his father said to the obedient son "It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’” God is a God of empathy, forgiveness and love beyond our imagination. Sorry I only meant to add to your good point.
