The Terrible God of Calvinism

The God of the Bible is not the same God of Calvinism. The God of the Bible, "So loves the world that he gives his only begotten Son, that whosoever that believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" John 3:16.

The Bible depicts God as being "Long-suffering and not willing that any should perish" 2 Peter 3:9. The Psalms written by King David, paint a picture of God as being kind, just, merciful, righteous compassionate and long-suffering, Psalm 86:15.

But the God of Calvinism is none of that. The God of Calvinism predestinates billions to hell for no reason other than they were born after Adam. It is not our fault that we are sinners, its Adam's fault. We are born into sin, Psalm 51:5. We are sinners without works. You cannot make yourself a sinner simply because you were born into sin.

"For as by one man disobedience many were MADE sinners" Romans 5:19.

We inherited sin from our first Father Adam. We all have Adam's blood coursing through our veins. This means that the God of Calvinism is unjust because he sends sinners to hell. No one should be sentenced to hell because they are sinners. No one will go to hell because of sin, they will go to hell because of unbelief and rejection of God's Son, Jesus Christ.

If you are going to believe in Calvinism, then you must believe that God creates and gives life to people that are reprobates. He creates and gives life to these reprobates for the sole purpose of sending them to hell. How can anyone have faith in a God that would do such a terrible thing as this?

Salvation always has been and always will be by faith. It is not humanly possible to have faith in the mean, cruel, unjust, unrighteous God of Calvinism.

Good post.

Some people choose to believe God, others do not.

Each get what they believe for.

The first gets God and all that they believe to receive of God's promises, the others do not.

God is the author of life, those who reject the author of life, rejects life

You cannot choose what you believe.

God's wrath is reserved for unbelievers.



You will have to be more specific. Where in 1 John?


First John 2:2. Where He's a propitiation for the whole world. In other words, according to your theology, God's wrath is satisfied against the whole world (propitiation). Yet in John 3:36, it remains on unbelievers.

So how can it remain and be satisfied at the same time?

You believe that there is something wrong with the Bible.

Jesus has atoned for the sins of the whole world. In doing this he has made salvation available to all who do nothing more than call upon his name, Romans 10:13.

This does not mean that every body is saved.

It means that those who believe and trust in him can be saved. The rest will have their sins imputed back to them in the judgment, Romans 4:8.

So, was God's wrath satisfied against everyone, as you believe 1 John 2:2 to say?
