Calvinism is heresy
I firmly believe that calvinism is a heresy and a false gospel. They teach another Jesus that only died for the elect and not for everyone and another god that only loves the elect instead of the world as it says in John 3:16 and has unconditionally predetermines the non elect to go to hell against their will without giving them a chance to be saved but the Bible says God is a loving merciful God not willing that any perish but that all to come to repentance 2 Peter 3:8-10 be saved and has no pleasure in the death of the wicked Ezekiel 33:11. They follow the teachings of man instead of God and the Bible.
Their first point is total depravity which says we have an inability to repent or make free will choices to obey God or choose salvation and that God has to do everything for us and that if you choose salvation or even faith that its works. Thats nonsense. Free will, choices, and faith are not works. The Bible says that we are free to choose Joshua 24:14-15, Deuteronomy 30:18. Adam and Eve made a choice.
The second point is unconditional election which says that God has unconditionally predetermined and predestined the elect to heaven and non elect to hell based on sovereign choice. If this doctrine were true this would make God partial but God makes no partiality in judgment and is no respector of persons Romans 2:11. The Bible says God wills all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth 1 Timothy 2:4. Jesus told Israel I would of gathered you together as a hen gathers her chickens and you would not Matthew 23:37. How could Jesus be willing to gather Israel if they were predestined unconditionally to damnation? How could they be guilty for rejecting Jesus if they were forced to? Jesus said it was because they werent willing to be saved not because He wasnt willing to save them. How could God say He has no pleasure in the death of the wicked but that the wicked turn from their evil ways and live if he forced them to eternal damnation against their will? It just doesnt make any sense.
The third point is Limited Atonement which says that Jesus only died for the elect. Thats not biblical. The Bible says Jesus died for the sheep but it doesnt say Jesus only died for His sheep. The Bible teaches that the atonement is universal 1 John 2:2. The Bible says Jesus tasted death for every man which means He died for everyone in the world Hebrews 2:9. The Bible says you can cause your brother to perish for who Christ died 1 Corinthians 8:11 for but calvinists believe if Christ died for them they wouldnt die because they think He only died for the elect. This also refutes once saved always saved another calvinist belief.
The next point is irresistble grace which says that Gods grace cant be resisted to the elect. This is a heresy. It denies the biblical doctrine of free will and abuses the grace of God and turns it into lasiviciousness and a license for sin to do what you want and its not biblical. The Bible teaches that you can resist the Spirit Acts 7:51 and the Spirit of grace in Hebrews 10 and also that you can reject truth and be given over reprobate by God in Romans 1. Scripture teaches that the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men Titus 2:11-12. If grace was irreistible all men would be saved but they're not which is why irresistible grace is not true.
The final and last point is perseverance of the saints which says the elect will persevere to the end. This one of the most dangerous doctrines. It where the heresy once saved always saved comes from and calvinists were one of the first ones to teach it. Some calvinists deny they believe it but they do. Once saved always saved is one of the most dangerous doctrines of this modern day and has given lost unsaved people an excuse to continue in sin and live like pagans. Persevering to the end is a free will choice not automatic. You had the ability to choose salvation, you also have the choice to leave salvation. Perseverence of the saints is not biblical. Saved people like Judas walked away from salvation and you cant say Judas was never saved. Judas was a disciple which means Christian and also a chosen apostle. The Lord Jesus would not name a false apostle. Jesus warned you could lose salvation in parables and to the Churches Matthew 13:18-23, Revelation 2-3 and other scriptures warn believers against losing salvation Hebrews 10, Hebrews 6, 2 Peter 2:20
If you're calvinist I love you and care about you and want you to know truth and be saved and avoid dangerous damnable doctrines that deceive. I challenge you to consider what I'm posting about today and check out those scriptures and study them and re consider your views and repent with the free will God has given you. I'm just trying to correct you in love for your own good. If you continue following calvinism it will lead you into hell but the good news is if you're calvinist God loves you and wants you to be saved because Christ died for all men including for calvinists. Repent of your false gospel and believe in the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
