Many are called but few are chosen

Jesus’ Gospel is provided for all to hear in that Jesus Himself says He died for the whole world but sadly and obviously many reject the Gospel.

Scripture also teaches that God is love. God creating people and giving them no chance at salvation is not loving. What is loving is not creating them in the first place.

Thats why unbelievers see Calvinism and not the Bible.

this is why Calvinism is dangerous. if you believe only a select are Chosen you won't do as Jesus Commanded and be a Witness and make Disciples and Baptizing them.

What’s the point of sharing the Gospel if it’s nothing more than a lesson in futility?

I hope you don't mind me cutting in, but I have some scriptures that might shed some light on this subject

I believe the inspired words of the bible were written to God's born again children as instructions on how God wants them to live their lives as they sojourn here on earth.

God does not love sin. Does God love all mankind? God chastens those that he loves.(Heg 12:6-8) God chastens those that are his sons (those that are born again, Deut 8:5.) Psalms 73:5 tells us that the wicked (unregenerate) are not in trouble as other men, neither are they plagued (devinly punished) like other men.

If the people you mention were given the opportunity for salvation but they rebuked that opportunity then there is no diametrical problem of God destroying them.

Even in the OT no one understood the things of God unless he let them.
Pre Calvin.😉

.

let's put this into a real perspective here.

Jesus Commanded, "GO, Make disciples of all nations, ....Baptizing them, Teaching them to observe all things whatever I commanded you

i don't see the word SOME, Whom I have Chosen, whom was pre-SELECTED. i clearly see the Command to go to ALL NATIONS. that is EVERYONE YOU SEE!

so to cherry pick Paul's words and put them against the Command of GOD in the flesh is as demonic as it gets!

Not only that, it presents God as a selfish being whose only desire is for "glory". Some Calvinists, like John Piper, a "double predestinationist" and self described "7 point Calvinist" have even said that God predestined certain sinners to Hell for his glory.(paraphrased). That denies the very character of God....which is love. In my thinking that's the same as calling good evil.

Are you calling me a cherry picking demonic?

1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand them, because spiritually they are discerned.


God was right. He's always right. ✝️😊🕊️😔

first and foremost, NO!
i was going off the post of yours i quoted and giving your post more meaning. i apologize you felt that was towards you. i merely took your words and expanded upon them. or that was my attempt.

I’m sorry for misunderstanding you, beloved. I admire you and thought you were calling me demonic for supporting God’s grace. I truly apologize for misunderstanding. God bless you, Watcher. 🙏

God created people for his day of wrath.

Romans 9, God has mercy on whom he will and hardens whom he will.
