The Bible Tells Us When Jesus Returns - Between Tisha B'Av and Day of Atonement 2029

Is God sovereign?

Yes, so why do you reject His sovereign right to give us the free choice?

Romans 9 English Standard Version (ESV)

9 I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit— 2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh. 4 They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises. 5 To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.

6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, 7 and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring. 9 For this is what the promise said: “About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son.” 10 And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, 11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls— 12 she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! 15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” 16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” 18 So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.

19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” 20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory— 24 even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles? 25 As indeed he says in Hosea,

“Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’
and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’”
26 “And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”
27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved, 28 for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay.” 29 And as Isaiah predicted,

“If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring,
we would have been like Sodom
and become like Gomorrah.”
30 What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. 32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 as it is written,

“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

So as you read this chapter we don't see God irresistibly imposing salvation on people or passing them over not giving them the free choice.

Anyone can freely choose to come to Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and be saved.

And that's why Calvinism all its 5 points are a lie.

However, this is the problem:

T stands for total depravity. This does not mean that all persons are as bad as they could possibly be. It means rather that all human beings are affected by sin in every area of thought and conduct so that nothing that comes out of anyone apart from the regenerating grace of God can please God. As far as our relationships to God are concerned, we are all so ruined by sin that no one can properly understand either God or God's ways. Nor do we seek God, unless He is first at work within us to lead us to do so

U stands for unconditional election. An emphasis on election bothers many people, but the problem they feel is not actually with election; it is with depravity. If sinners are as helpless in their depravity as the Bible says they are, unable to know and unwilling to seek God, then the only way they could possibly be saved is for God to take the initiative to change and save them. This is what election means. It is God choosing to save those who, apart from His sovereign choice and subsequent action, certainly would perish.

Are you boasting because of your works?.

Is the Doctrine of Election Unfair

In spite of the clarity with which Scripture addresses this topic, many professing Christians today struggle in their acceptance of God’s sovereignty — especially when it comes to His electing work in salvation. Their most common protest, of course, is that the doctrine of election is unfair. But such an objection stems from a human idea of fairness, rather than the objective, divine understanding of true justice. In order to appropriately address the issue of election, we must set aside all human considerations and focus instead on the nature of God and His righteous standard. Divine justice is where the discussion must begin.

What is Divine justice? Simply stated, it is an essential attribute of God whereby He infinitely, perfectly, and independently does exactly what He wants to do when and how He wants to do it. Because He is the standard of justice, by very definition, then whatever He does is inherently just. As William Perkins said, many years ago, “We must not think that God doeth a thing because it is good and right, but rather is the thing good and right because God willeth it and worketh it.”

Therefore God defines for us what justice is, because He is by nature just and righteous, and what He does reflects that nature. His own free will and nothing else is behind His justice. This means that whatever He wills, is just; and it is just, not because of any external standard of justice, but simply because He wills it.

Because the justice of God is an outflow of His character, it is not subject to fallen human assumptions of what justice should be. The Creator owes nothing to the creature, not even what He is graciously pleased to give. God does not act out of obligation and compulsion, but out of His own independent prerogative. That is what it means to be God. And because He is God, His freely determined actions are intrinsically right and perfect.

To say that election is unfair is not only inaccurate, it fails to recognize the very essence of true fairness. That which is fair, and right, and just is that which God wills to do. Thus, if God wills to choose those whom He would save, it is inherently fair for Him to do so. We cannot impose our own ideas of fairness onto our understanding of God’s working. Instead, we must go to the Scriptures to see how God Himself, in His perfect righteousness, decides to act.

Are you boasting because of your works?

No. But you are boasting of works by claiming you were irresistibly selected.

Total depravity and unconditional election are a lie, because God has given you sufficient grace to respond His mercy. Calvinism is a cult (taking a concept to the bizarre extreme) that has taken the fall and turned it into total depravity. No human being is totally depraved. We are all made in God's image and have sufficient grace to respond to the gospel.

God knows all the hairs on your head. He sees you trying to defend Calvinism and so you are not a Christian.

Genesis 3
(ESV)

3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.

He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Ephesians 2 (ESV)

2 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

If sinners are as helpless in their depravity as the Bible says they are, unable to know and unwilling to seek God, then the only way they could possibly be saved is for God to take the initiative to change and save them. This is what election means. It is God choosing to save those who, apart from His sovereign choice and subsequent action, certainly would perish.

Total depravity and unconditional election are a lie, because God has given you sufficient grace to respond His mercy. Calvinism is a cult (taking a concept to the bizarre extreme) that has taken the fall and turned it into total depravity. No human being is totally depraved. We are all made in God's image and have sufficient grace to respond to the gospel.

We only fell? We didn't die?
God was just fibbing? The serpent telling the truth?

Genesis 3
(ESV)

3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.

He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Death is disassociation from life and lost communication with environment not totally depravity. Remember, you are still made in God's image and God has still given Cain and Abel sufficient grace to give an offering not of their works. You have contradiction you don't know how to resolve because your faith is false.

Adam and Eve died what kind of death?

And that's why Calvinism all its 5 points are a lie.

However, this is the problem:

T stands for total depravity. This does not mean that all persons are as bad as they could possibly be. It means rather that all human beings are affected by sin in every area of thought and conduct so that nothing that comes out of anyone apart from the regenerating grace of God can please God. As far as our relationships to God are concerned, we are all so ruined by sin that no one can properly understand either God or God's ways. Nor do we seek God, unless He is first at work within us to lead us to do so

Their spiritual didn't mean they could not have given a proper offering as Abel did.

God knows all the hairs on your head. He sees you trying to defend Calvinism and so you are not a Christian.

My teacher is the Holy Spirit. Anything that doesn't match with what the Holy Spirit teaches me is no good. You should be careful to not blaspheme the Holy Spirit and His teachings.

The Holy Spirit is not in you because you refuse to come to the cross to receive the Lord Jesus as Savior to be regenerated. You don't even know what blaspheming the Holy Spirit is. Nobody alive today can blaspheme the Holy Spirit because Jesus is not on earth. Study.

Blaspheming the Holy Spirit - The Unpardonable Sin

The Holy Spirit disagrees. He says people blaspheme Him when they say good is evil and evil is good.

Only when Jesus is on earth. That means that even 1 minute before your death you still have the opportunity to give your life to Christ. Praise the Lord! Now that is a loving God you just don't know do you?

Yep. You know what's more awesome?

I am saved because of God's grace alone, and not of my own works. God elected to save me and drew me to Jesus Christ. God did everything and I didn't do anything for my salvation. Amazing!

Paul agrees.

Paul agrees.

Paul did not have your faith. He believed we had the free choice.

By your works with your own strength, you put yourself on a pedestal declaring you were irresistibly selected and not passed over for Hell. God never saves people with that attitude. You need to search Him out with all your heart and soul and then you will find Him. The reason you haven't found Him yet is because you don't search Him out with all your heart and soul. You're still standing on that pedestal.

Just because God saves and did all the work and gets the credit for salvation doesn't mean He irresistibly imposes salvation on people or passes over others with no opportunity for salvation. Salvation is a gift that can be freely accepted or rejected. I am sad to hear you know no such salvation in your life.

Sproul and MacArthur are going to Hell. You can be sure about that.

What you're refuting is a straw-man of TULIP.

Sproul is a saint.

You? I would advise you to caution. Be careful to ensure that you're actually saved, that your salvation is real and is not false.

 

[MaxGrit]

God does all the work. Work like choosing to have faith in Jesus for salvation.

No one freely chooses to believe in Jesus unless God draws (draw here is the same word as a man draws water or a guard draws a prisoner to court).

It seems like Parture love boasting about how good he is to choose to have faith in Jesus Christ.

Parture, what do you think of your salvation? Are you absolutely sure you're not going to Hell? 100% sure?

Keep in mind that 99.99999% is not 100%.

Sproul is not a saint, but an unsaved sinner. He like you refuses to repent and believe in Christ to be regenerated. This no straw man but the gospel of salvation.
