A Defense of Calvinism (C.H. Spurgeon) [1of4]

"I have my own private opinion that there is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified, unless we preach what nowadays is called Calvinism. It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else. I do not believe we can preach the gospel, if we do not preach justification by faith, without works; nor unless we preach the sovereignty of God in His dispensation of grace; nor unless we exalt the electing, unchangeable, eternal, immutable, conquering love of Jehovah; nor do I think we can preach the gospel, unless we base it upon the special and particular redemption of His elect and chosen people which Christ wrought out upon the cross; nor can I comprehend a gospel which lets saints fall away after they are called, and suffers the children of God to be burned in the fires of damnation after having once believed in Jesus. Such a gospel I abhor."

- C.H. Spurgeon

@Celestiaetterra they don't think they can help it. Its a doctrine of demons, like counterfeit money, very similar to the original in many areas, in order to deceive, and its a pain in the butt to untangle the many knots in their warped thinking. But with God, all things are possible....

@lowbattery34 lol

[joejohnson043]

so.... because C.H. Spurgeon abhors aspects of the gospel he cannot understand, we must bow to Calvin?

"For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it." Luke 10:24

this must have been meant for those 'blessed' to be born after Calvin's teachings enlightened the world......

I love it!

[Celestiaetterra]

The only problem I have with Calvinism is the way Calvinists behave - arrogant, prideful and ungodly and, no, I'm no Arminian.

Paul was a calvinist
