@tgillspy1 then who created it dummy, if you say the devil , then who created the devi,. if you say man , then who created man. get smart , check a dictionary for the definition of OMNIPOTENT., OMNISCIENT AND SOVRIEGN. T say that God is not willing for sin to exist is to say that some other entity frustrates the will of God/trumps the will of God. your god is a peanut
@tgillspy1 God had already slain the lamb before the foundations of the earth- before adam was ever created. of course he predestined all things. 1Pe 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, you need to grasp the absolute sovriegnity and stop murmuring
@Cjmagnificent God is ABSOLUTELY SOVRIEGN. Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Dan 4:35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
Hey man, I don't know where your beliefs lie, but I am a Reformed preacher, and I think your song is pretty funny. Not sure if you are making fun or not, but good job.
I love this!!! However its sad to see all of this debating on what the bible teaches without any quotes from it, no offense but you guys would make horrible lawyers. Why all the philosophical arguments? You guys don't even know if you agree on the grammatical structure of the scripture texts that these teachings come from. For example,
John 6:37 "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out"
Now instead of throwing out broad implications of dif
It was a debate started based on a comparison to marriage/Calvinism---that's why it didn't really have much to do with Scripture.
As for John 6, Jesus is only saying He won't cast out those who come to Him.... doesn't mean you cannot leave. Interpret Scripture with Scripture---Romans 8:13 is clear about the Christian life after conversion... you'll inherit what you sow, don't be deceived. God Bless you
@droptozro Determinism means nobody has a choice in the matter. But Calvinism is all about choices. It realizes the heart is the real issue. We need new hearts, i.e. to be born again.
And maybe you misunderstand the paradox of people making choices, but God still being sovereign. Those two ideas are friends in Calvinism. Don't forget that God is still God, He makes decisions from His throne and is leading His creation to its planned ending. Our choices are real, and they play into His plan.
Determinism in theology means God set forth the choices from the origin of His creation--thus again, NO choices. This IS Calvinism, if it isn't--you're debating a semi-Calvinist compatibilist view that will logically fall apart without all 5 points.
Otherwise, you're left with Gnostic fatalism--which is all chance pre-determinism.
"Our choices are real"
our choices are illusions according to a consistent Calvinist--or according to their definition, God isn't sovereign.
@droptozro Again, I think you are forcing the word "force", and thus confusing things or creating false conclusions.
"so logically, some are forced to death, and some are forced to life..."
No, not necessarily. We as creatures have wills, and God has the ability to leave us to our wills (death) or create in us a new heart that sees and desires Him (life). Bringing us from death to life is not "forced", it's mercy. And if others will themselves to rebel and die, that's not determinism.
"No, not necessarily. We as creatures have wills, and God has the ability to leave us to our wills (death)"
According to Calvinism--man is born in sin--already condemned to death for what Adam's sin/seed... so no, you aren't just "left" to your will--otherwise I would agree with you. Thus being born to choose nothing but sin, you are forced to death for Adam's sin--while others are redeemed beyond no true will "choice" of their own because they are also dead in sin.
We've watched this video several times. It never gets old! I think watching it is going to be our family's Reformation Day tradition. Several girlfriends of mine-- all moms-- joke about getting an "I (heart) John Piper" in Greek tattoo. So funny! Wish you would do another one. Thank you so much and God Bless you and your Calvinist wife!
@NewDirection4us nope,, calvinist don't rule, God does :-). Calvinism just explains the gospel using strict biblical exegesis - Soli Deo Gloria! (To God alone be the glory!)
You got a good wife then lol I don't think she is a Calvinist I just think she understands the Bible stay away from the emergent church man seriously (o:
@CoIorfulPoop ok, he is a good philosopher but not theologian... his moderate "Calvinist" view is plain weaksauce and allows for cheap grace... sorry...
absolutely hilarious; should have finished with a clear opening to "A Mighty Fortress is our God"; I did not know the ESV was considered the Calvinists bible of choice, I use an NIV(1995) Study Bible myself. but at any rate I was ROFL
I just have to tell you how much I love this little song... I am a Christian Calvinist and I give this link to my friends who claim that Calvinism doesn't allow for a sense of humor... Wrong! lol
@tgillspy sorry, but marriage is the perfect image of calvinism! I am a sovereign husband. I chose my wife, pursued her, wooed her, and I love her regardless of how she makes me feel or responds to me! And I will never give up on her no matter what. She is my elect, my beloved.
I wonder if an arminian picture of marriage would fly... lets see, I will love ANY woman who loves me? I am open to ALL ladies who love me?! I make no distinction, all are welcome!! Hmm... nope. :p
@BrianandDana but your sovereign God is the one who uses evil for his glory like the fall of man - so did God rebuke adam and eve for sinning against Him. God has never created sin and has no pleasure in it .Marriage is not arminian or calvinist as for the song it reeks of pride
Your comment about marriage is a disgusting.... Marriage is no picture of Calvinism, the "wife" you "chose" could still reject you all she would like. She has to "choose" to submit to you... wow, I really hope she willfully submits to God and you---if you forced it on her you'd be no different than a Muslim.
..oh, and I'm not an Arminian either, but wow... your words... ugh
@droptozro Marriage is absolutely a picture of Calvinism, the Gospel, and Christ's relationship with His bride (Eph 5). What's disgusting about it? It is glorious and beautiful! I think you misunderstand... Calvinists do not believe God "forces" anyone to love Him, just as I can't force my wife to love me. God simply pursues those He loves, and opens their eyes to His beauty and love. So if my wife rejected me, I wouldn't reject her (arminianism), I'd pursue her and never give up on her!!
I'm not an Arminian--but no, a consistent 5 point Calvinist does believe God forces salvation on people... sorry, go read through the 5 points again, Irresistible Grace " clearly teaches that the Spirit forces the change---"But to the elect, God extends an internal call and it cannot be resisted"
So externally you can chase/court after a woman, but if you internally forced her heart towards you... that's not love. Sorry.
@droptozro Just because something cannot be resisted, doesn't mean that it's "forced". Forced love is not love, obviously, so you're creating a false conclusion. What the Bible does teach, however, is that God regenerates our hearts and pursues us with His love to the point that we realize nothing compares to Him! So, if I lay down my life to know and meet my wife's needs, desires, and heart... I have not forced anything. I have only made myself irresistible to her. It is her heart choosing me.
"So, if I lay my life down...(the Gospel)" All these things are EXTERNAL, again. Calvinists claim all these things can be resisted(otherwise, EVERYONE would be saved according to your belief of laying your life down to meet others needs)--yet the INTERNAL change cannot be resisted.
This is still forced, can you explain to me how something being "not able to be resisted" isn't forced? I cannot think of any logical example where this is so... she could still choose to deny.
@droptozro Explain this to me: Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. Do you accuse Jesus of "forcing" Lazarus to live? Has there ever been a recorded complaint from Lazarus or any other observer that Jesus made Lazarus do something aganst his will? "Forcing" is an absurd conclusion. God gives us new hearts and raises us from spiritual death into life, & that's a gift. A blessing. Grace. Jesus chose to raise Lazarus, not the entire cemetery. Anyone complaining? That's how Calvinism works.
Okay... I applaud you really for trying to come up with a quick example, but still doesn't work.
Lazarus still "couldn't resist"---It's not about Lazarus' attitude after being raised, but it still logically follows a dead person cannot resist being raised to life.
No, I wouldn't really accuse Jesus of that anyway---the accusation would be that God raised some to life(forgiveness) and not others(no forgiveness) without truly making it available to them. Determinism fails man..
@droptozro And nowhere in Scripture does it ever say God internally "forces" our hearts regarding salvation. It does speak of God renewing our hearts, washing our hearts, replacing our hearts, and raising our hearts spiritually from death to life. But that's not forcing, that's a gift! It's grace. We love Him because He first loved us.
And the elect are all those in the body of Christ.
Every single time predestination, adoption and election are spoken of--it's being spoken to the Jews as an audience(including Christian Jews in the letters/epistles of Paul and Peter).
I'm not arguing that God doesn't do those things, but you're claiming He's chosen certain ones to draw and not others and they cannot resist the internal call of His Spirit... so logically some are forced to death, and some are forced to life(even if it APPEARS they weren't forced, they were).
This song is too fun!!!! I must confess that I use the NIV Thompson Chain Reference. I must say that I prefer the term "lover of the doctrines of grace" than "Calvinist," but I guess that would make for pretty cumbersome song lyrics, huh? My 10th grade Sunday school teacher used to exhort us not to be like Tiny Tim & tiptoe through the TULIPs, but to be bold in defending our love for the doctrines of grace!
We are all deprave of thing of the things of God (Gen. 6:5, Ro 8:5 - 7, Ezekiel 11:19, Jer 17:9, Ro 3:23), only God is able to lead us to Him. (John 15:16, 8:29 - 33).
It it truly the grace of God that He chose some of us to be saved and not others (John 15:19). Human beings aren't even worth being saved but "For God so Love the world he gave His only begotten Son..." (John 3:16) Now thats the GRACE.
Read the Bible for all its worth. Worship the Lord with your heart and mind.
lvdyou: What kind of a statement is that? You are displaying to eveyrone your lack of understanding about the issue of the sovereignty of God. God imposes salvation on no one. Where did you get that? That is not what John Calvin, nor the others, taught. Have you, yourself, personally, ever READ what they wrote? You might increase your credibility a bit if you read their writing before going off on a tangent.
"No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief. " -John Calvin
@lvdyou You fundamentally misunderstand the character of God. Unless you understand that God is not obligated to save all people, or save anybody for that matter, and that saving one person does not obligate Him to save another, then there is no point in having a conversation with you on these doctrines.
It is easy to come to the conclusion that God is not obligated. However the truth is God is more obligated. God is responsible. The Bible says not to say in our hearts who will ascend into heaven nor say in our hearts who will descend into hell. It is not only God is responsible towards every person, he has passionately and powerfully moved His church from Pentecost onward to preach with power. This is what inspires Buddhists like me to be saved - decide whether to go to heaven or hell.
The moment you start talking about obligation, you're not talking about mercy anymore, which is what salvation is, God says through Moses and through Paul "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy". When you start talking about obligation, you're talking about justice. If God were to give everyone justice, that is give them what they deserve, he would send everyone to hell. Thats what everyone deserves. "The wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23) I am personally amazed that he saved anyone.
@tgillspy ... maybe a tryrant in his flesh, but a child of God in the Spirit, and used by God to bless the church in incredible ways. To His glory! Oh, and you should read about what the apostle Paul did to people before God knocked him off his horse and started working in his life!
@BrianandDana He has revealed who He is in his brightness and glory his attributes are majestic without question.This is why Jesus words in the scripture in john 3 kjv: entire chapter ( not reformed words) takes precedence over all error that has come or in time past and that furthermore God cannot lie and is not willing that any should perish that all should come to repentance That is why reform heresy should be rejected and thankfully is by those who know the truth in light of the gospel
@MartinLuther2nd If God could save everyone, & chooses not too, then he is an unjust MONSTER!
By the way, God made those people whom he damned to hell, to be damned to hell not because of anything they did or did not do but in his sovereign will. Thus you are an evil person whom worships an evil deity! Spare us the clap trap that sinners deserve hell!
Furthermore, if all were damned by Adam with out a say, why are not all saved by Christ with out a say?
But wait, you like the emergent Church? That is so much worse.
Stick to Word of God. You can't go wrong. Dropped the emergent. Forget Calvinism. Forget Arminiasm. SticK to the Bible. KJB Preferably. J.White does not favor the KJB. He likes the NIV.

@tgillspy sorry, but marriage is the perfect image of calvinism! I am a sovereign husband. I chose my wife, pursued her, wooed her, and I love her regardless of how she makes me feel or responds to me! And I will never give up on her no matter what. She is my elect, my beloved.
I wonder if an arminian picture of marriage would fly... lets see, I will love ANY woman who loves me? I am open to ALL ladies who love me?! I make no distinction, all are welcome!! Hmm... nope. :p

@BrianandDana but your sovereign God is the one who uses evil for his glory like the fall of man - so did God rebuke adam and eve for sinning against Him. God has never created sin and has no pleasure in it .Marriage is not arminian or calvinist as for the song it reeks of pride

Your comment about marriage is a disgusting.... Marriage is no picture of Calvinism, the "wife" you "chose" could still reject you all she would like. She has to "choose" to submit to you... wow, I really hope she willfully submits to God and you---if you forced it on her you'd be no different than a Muslim.
..oh, and I'm not an Arminian either, but wow... your words... ugh

@droptozro Marriage is absolutely a picture of Calvinism, the Gospel, and Christ's relationship with His bride (Eph 5). What's disgusting about it? It is glorious and beautiful! I think you misunderstand... Calvinists do not believe God "forces" anyone to love Him, just as I can't force my wife to love me. God simply pursues those He loves, and opens their eyes to His beauty and love. So if my wife rejected me, I wouldn't reject her (arminianism), I'd pursue her and never give up on her!!

I'm not an Arminian--but no, a consistent 5 point Calvinist does believe God forces salvation on people... sorry, go read through the 5 points again, Irresistible Grace " clearly teaches that the Spirit forces the change---"But to the elect, God extends an internal call and it cannot be resisted"
So externally you can chase/court after a woman, but if you internally forced her heart towards you... that's not love. Sorry.
Not to mention, the "elect" are the Jews.

@droptozro Just because something cannot be resisted, doesn't mean that it's "forced". Forced love is not love, obviously, so you're creating a false conclusion. What the Bible does teach, however, is that God regenerates our hearts and pursues us with His love to the point that we realize nothing compares to Him! So, if I lay down my life to know and meet my wife's needs, desires, and heart... I have not forced anything. I have only made myself irresistible to her. It is her heart choosing me.

@BrianandDana
"So, if I lay my life down...(the Gospel)" All these things are EXTERNAL, again. Calvinists claim all these things can be resisted(otherwise, EVERYONE would be saved according to your belief of laying your life down to meet others needs)--yet the INTERNAL change cannot be resisted.
This is still forced, can you explain to me how something being "not able to be resisted" isn't forced? I cannot think of any logical example where this is so... she could still choose to deny.

@droptozro Explain this to me: Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. Do you accuse Jesus of "forcing" Lazarus to live? Has there ever been a recorded complaint from Lazarus or any other observer that Jesus made Lazarus do something aganst his will? "Forcing" is an absurd conclusion. God gives us new hearts and raises us from spiritual death into life, & that's a gift. A blessing. Grace. Jesus chose to raise Lazarus, not the entire cemetery. Anyone complaining? That's how Calvinism works.

@BrianandDana
Okay... I applaud you really for trying to come up with a quick example, but still doesn't work.
Lazarus still "couldn't resist"---It's not about Lazarus' attitude after being raised, but it still logically follows a dead person cannot resist being raised to life.
No, I wouldn't really accuse Jesus of that anyway---the accusation would be that God raised some to life(forgiveness) and not others(no forgiveness) without truly making it available to them. Determinism fails man..
droptozro 10 months ago
@droptozro And nowhere in Scripture does it ever say God internally "forces" our hearts regarding salvation. It does speak of God renewing our hearts, washing our hearts, replacing our hearts, and raising our hearts spiritually from death to life. But that's not forcing, that's a gift! It's grace. We love Him because He first loved us.
And the elect are all those in the body of Christ.

@BrianandDana
Every single time predestination, adoption and election are spoken of--it's being spoken to the Jews as an audience(including Christian Jews in the letters/epistles of Paul and Peter).
I'm not arguing that God doesn't do those things, but you're claiming He's chosen certain ones to draw and not others and they cannot resist the internal call of His Spirit... so logically some are forced to death, and some are forced to life(even if it APPEARS they weren't forced, they were).

This song is too fun!!!! I must confess that I use the NIV Thompson Chain Reference. I must say that I prefer the term "lover of the doctrines of grace" than "Calvinist," but I guess that would make for pretty cumbersome song lyrics, huh? My 10th grade Sunday school teacher used to exhort us not to be like Tiny Tim & tiptoe through the TULIPs, but to be bold in defending our love for the doctrines of grace!

We are all deprave of thing of the things of God (Gen. 6:5, Ro 8:5 - 7, Ezekiel 11:19, Jer 17:9, Ro 3:23), only God is able to lead us to Him. (John 15:16, 8:29 - 33).
It it truly the grace of God that He chose some of us to be saved and not others (John 15:19). Human beings aren't even worth being saved but "For God so Love the world he gave His only begotten Son..." (John 3:16) Now thats the GRACE.
Read the Bible for all its worth. Worship the Lord with your heart and mind.
Repent Daily. Amen.

Dude you have problems. People are saved by the gospel and faith in Christ. Salvation has nothing to do with whether or not you adhere to election

lvdyou: What kind of a statement is that? You are displaying to eveyrone your lack of understanding about the issue of the sovereignty of God. God imposes salvation on no one. Where did you get that? That is not what John Calvin, nor the others, taught. Have you, yourself, personally, ever READ what they wrote? You might increase your credibility a bit if you read their writing before going off on a tangent.

@lvdyou You fundamentally misunderstand the character of God. Unless you understand that God is not obligated to save all people, or save anybody for that matter, and that saving one person does not obligate Him to save another, then there is no point in having a conversation with you on these doctrines.
MartinLuther2nd 1 year ago
It is easy to come to the conclusion that God is not obligated. However the truth is God is more obligated. God is responsible. The Bible says not to say in our hearts who will ascend into heaven nor say in our hearts who will descend into hell. It is not only God is responsible towards every person, he has passionately and powerfully moved His church from Pentecost onward to preach with power. This is what inspires Buddhists like me to be saved - decide whether to go to heaven or hell.
Johanne0531 1 year ago
The moment you start talking about obligation, you're not talking about mercy anymore, which is what salvation is, God says through Moses and through Paul "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy". When you start talking about obligation, you're talking about justice. If God were to give everyone justice, that is give them what they deserve, he would send everyone to hell. Thats what everyone deserves. "The wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23) I am personally amazed that he saved anyone.

@tgillspy ... maybe a tryrant in his flesh, but a child of God in the Spirit, and used by God to bless the church in incredible ways. To His glory! Oh, and you should read about what the apostle Paul did to people before God knocked him off his horse and started working in his life!

@BrianandDana He has revealed who He is in his brightness and glory his attributes are majestic without question.This is why Jesus words in the scripture in john 3 kjv: entire chapter ( not reformed words) takes precedence over all error that has come or in time past and that furthermore God cannot lie and is not willing that any should perish that all should come to repentance That is why reform heresy should be rejected and thankfully is by those who know the truth in light of the gospel

@MartinLuther2nd If God could save everyone, & chooses not too, then he is an unjust MONSTER!
By the way, God made those people whom he damned to hell, to be damned to hell not because of anything they did or did not do but in his sovereign will. Thus you are an evil person whom worships an evil deity! Spare us the clap trap that sinners deserve hell!
Furthermore, if all were damned by Adam with out a say, why are not all saved by Christ with out a say?

But wait, you like the emergent Church? That is so much worse.
Stick to Word of God. You can't go wrong. Dropped the emergent. Forget Calvinism. Forget Arminiasm. SticK to the Bible. KJB Preferably. J.White does not favor the KJB. He likes the NIV.
But, you're still funny!
