Reformed Theology in Star Wars - Irresistible Grace

[ChurchOfTheWay]

So God is the Death Star? lol

[CityOfLewisville]

Probably not the best clip to demonstrate Calvinism with. An evil ball in the sky that draws people to their death? LOL :)

To me grace is like a beautiful picture it attracts people to itself not by forcing them but rather by appealing to them .... yet it is so appealing that no one would ever resist looking at it ... in this sense grace is irresistible, or as I prefer to say intrinsically efficacious because no one would ever chose not to assent to it ... it being so beautiful.

I get the joke but in all seriousness ''irrestible grace', says that after regeneration the sinner sees the beauty and greatness of Christ and thus WILLINGLY submits to him. It is not a tractor beam kinda thing

[openairpreacher]

''irrestible grace

means just what the word says,, you cannot resist it... other wise you are ''irrestible grace

forced into heaven... other wise you could resist grace and NOT!

God is the one who initiates the relationship and draws us to himself. You can't find "free will" to "choose God" any where in scripture. God is the one chasing after us, redeeming us and drawing aka tracker beam us unto himself.

[openairpreacher]

FREE

Jesus makes you FREE

Paul said being Free have your fruit unto righteousness..

what you want is to be a slave to the sin you love

"God is the one chasing after us, redeeming us and drawing...us unto Himself"

That is a nice piece of Catholic theology :), as in the poem "The Hound of Heaven".

[openairpreacher]

God does not drag people into heaven

[falcon8967]

He's not saying he drags them into Heaven. The reaction of the characters isn't the representation he is trying to give here. It's the fact that God draws us to Him. In turn giving us a heart to serve and love Him. So don't bash it for the characters reactions

[BeautifulTULIP]

This is a horrible representation of irresistible grace, and anyone who thinks that this is a good representation of it completely does not understand the doctrine of irresistible grace. God doesnt drag you into heaven, He gives you a new heart so that you will freely and gladly choose Him.

[falcon8967]

Read openairpreacher's response I gave

[openairpreacher]

irresistible grace is nuts

people have freewills

[BeautifulTULIP]

Irresistible Grace is true. You just dont understand it as it is actually taught. This video is a horrible representation of irresistible Grace. John 6:44 and John 6:37

[falcon8967]

Also, Romans 8:29-30. Romans 9:15-16. Ephesians 1: 4-6. I have more but I think those are good.
