John Calvin was a mere man who twisted God's word to place all the blamre on God for not saving everone.

Stay away from Calvin's false doctrine. On judgment day, you won't be able to present Calvin's false doctrine to God as a case for anyone not saved.

That's a strange way of looking at it, but if that's how you see it, you were predestined to see it that way...lol

For me in my predestination ways, it's very difficult to view anything different, if the chosen were designated, before the foundation of the world.

Ephesians 1:4-5

4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

For real, try to tell God it's all His fault that most people are not saved.

That's basically what John Calvin is saying. And he has to answer to God on judgment day for getting some people to believe it.

I hope we can disagree and let it go. You can have the last word on this matter. Here is mine...


Romans 9

14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15 For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.” 18 Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.

19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?” 20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, 24 even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

25 As He says also in Hosea:

“I will call them My people, who were not My people,
And her beloved, who was not beloved.”
26 “And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them,
‘You are not My people,’
There they shall be called sons of the living God.”

Calvinism is basically saying it's all God's fault most people aren't saved. As if there will be no judgment day.

They just don't want to acknowledge we have free will that makes us responsible for the choices we make.

For people who want to know the real Jesus, He died for everyone so that all have the opportunity to be saved. And He LOVES YOU!
