CALVINISM- 'Why I Am Not A 5 Point Calvinist' - By Dr. Norman Geisler (7 OF 9)

(7 OF 9) WOW A MUST SEE!!! At 'A Moment of Truth' (AMomentOfTruth.org), we are in total agreement with Dr. Geisler. We believe Calvinism is an attack on Gods Character for "God Is Love" (1 John 4:8, 16). God is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). We discern from the Word of God that most people wont be saved despite the fact that God desires for all to be saved! However, God does't send people to Hell. They choose to go there. 'MY CALVINIST BROTHER AND SISTER, MAYBE YOU NEED MORE OF GOD'S LOVE AND MERCY IN YOU, MAYBE!!!' (Sammy Sabbagh, 'A Moment of Truth').

@SLDG The illustration is quite biblical - man is indeed born separated from God, won't seek Him on his own, & can't restore the relationship even if he did. God must supply a way back thru Christ, intervene in each person's life by convicting them of sin & calling them to repentance, & those who then choose to obey & repent are given to Christ for regeneration. Lots of people don't know they're drowning - t's a work of the Spirit to convince them of their sin & need for a Savior (Jn16:8)

[SLDGHMMR86]

The problem with this illustration is that the boys know they are drowning, and are "spiritually alive". The Bible teaches that we have all gone astray and are enemies of God (Rom 8:8-11). In Rom 1:23-25 God gives humanity over to a debased mind, and furthermore in Rom 3:10-20 Paul quotes the Old Testament declaring that there are none who seeks God, "no not one (10&12)". Ephesians 2:1-2 says we were "dead" in our trespasses. Not struggling to stay alive. This illustration is not Biblical.

@CBALLEN It's both you idiot. Even though they might choose HIM, they STILL must meet the conditions or will be excluded from the kingdom as per the parable of the Talents, the 5 rejected bridesmaids, the man who came without the wedding garment, or those like YOU who embrace the doctrines of demons & defile themselves permanently by blaspheming the Spirit, Your stupidity has all been answered repeatedly - go stick your filthy snout in a bucket of Reformed swill until you drown in it you coward

[CBALLEN]

@JackMWolfe Many are called but few are chosen,not few choose.

[JackMWolfe]

@CBALLEN Salvation is indeed of God & many invitations are sent out but declined while others like you try to enter the wedding with filthy garments instead of what GOD supplies - & they'll be REJECTED for the insult. He definitely doesn't play games with those who reject His word & blaspheme the Holy Spirit - you're ALREADY eternally condemned. Stand forth with your demonic doctrines & the counterfeit dirtbag you promote & be judged according to Heb10:30 - let all imposters be destroyed NOW!

[CBALLEN]

@JackMWolfe Salvation is from God,by God and for God.Invitations mean,many are called,but few are chosen by God according to the counsel of His will and not by the will or choice of man. GOD will certainly judge who He saved,He doesn't play games.

[JackMWolfe]

@CBALLEN AGAIN: for weeks, just as you've done in the past with other verses that directly refute your profane doctrines, you've evaded what Christ said in Mt22:8-14 - that salvation is by INVITATION & for ALL people - NOT forced on some & denied to others as you falsely claimed. You therefore renounce Christ by rejecting His word - you're a liar, an apostate, a false prophet AND a coward - not willing to step forward according to Heb10:30 & invoke God to judge the true believer & the imposter.

[CBALLEN]

@JackMWolfe My kids believed in the One true God before I did.What are you going to do when your kids find out that you taught them about the wrong God?

[JackMWolfe]

@CBALLEN What do your kids think about you running from the challenge to simply stand before God & invoke His judgment between the true believer & the imposter according to Heb10:30? “The Lord will judge & determine & solve &settle the cause & the cases of His people” Do they already know you’re a gutless coward or will they have to find out at the Final Judgment just before you’re cast into the Lake of Fire? Exactly how do you keep from getting sick to your stomach when looking in a mirror?

[JackMWolfe]

@CBALLEN Those I really feel sorry for are your poor kids - have you told them yet that you worship a God who commands people to do things they can't do & then punishes them for not obeying? Try explaining it by giving one of them a gift & nothing to the other - if they're confused tell them you're showing love because they're both just worthless brats who don't deserve anything, & if they still don't understand Calvinism - take them for ice cream & throw one of them out of the car on the way.
