Calvinism Destroys God's Grace

Doctrine of Election, Is Calvinism or Arminianism Biblical? - 02

 

Calvinism is contrary to God's own grace, which stems from God's love and undeserved kindness. To accept Calvinism is to proclaim that God does not love all of His creation and that this destroys His grace. It makes God unloving and unjust to most people in the world. Calvinism limits God's love only to part of His creation and lies about God's love for the world (John 3:16). God is love and that is His very nature, so He cannot deny what He is and deny His love for others because He chooses not to love them. God says He is love and He cannot be contrary to His nature. God's sovereignty does not allow God to deny himself. How, then, can the Calvinists accept God as love, when they believe that He withholds His grace from the world. There are no words in the Bible that can stop God's love. God's love is freely given, and it is limited to sinful humans who cannot accept His love. But that is not God's fault, but man's. John 3: 15-16 states: “God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son.

 "If you truly believe those words from God 's Word, you cannot be a Calvinist. A person goes to hell because he is a sinner who rejects God, not because God condemned him to hell and refused to let him repent (Romans 1: 1; 18-23). and His grace concludes that He will break His nature and withhold His love from the world. God is just and therefore His justice requires that if a person rejects His grace, and the payment of Christ. for his sins, then man must pay for himself. ” However, 1 John 2:2 clearly states: "He takes away our sins, not only for our sins but also for the punishment of the world."  Did God come into the world in human form, suffered and died for humanity's sins? ” The Bible answers wonderfully, YES! So how can Calvinism teach that he did not teach? On what basis does he teach that God did not transfer His love to all men? (1 John 2: 2).

Calvinism and man's will

 Intentionally believing and accepting Jesus Christ as Savior "in action." One of the first arguments a Calvinist will use to "prove" their faith is that man is totally depraved and cannot be saved by intentional faith because that would be "works." They think that when a person chooses to be saved, his act of will will save him. Genesis 2:16-17 God said to Adam, "The Lord God said to him, 'You can eat from any tree in the garden, but you shall not eat from the tree that is known to be good and bad Or on the day you eat from it you will surely die. (Genesis 2:16-17) Didn't God give Adam a choice? He was warned that if he ate from the forbidden tree he would die. God gave Adam a clear choice. Eat from all the other trees, but not this one. Jehovah allowed Adam to do His will. Abel and Cain were also given a choice. Obey God and offer him a blood sacrifice and acceptance, or reject the word of God, disobey God and be rejected by him. Abe made a good choice, but Cain didn't.

Throughout the Bible, God gave people a choice. He always told them what was right, which meant what his will was, and warned them against making wrong choices. Hebrews 11, which is full of men and women, when God told them what his will was, they obeyed, believed God, and were “counted righteous. These "faith warriors" use the will of their God to glorify God. Joshua urged the Israelites to serve Jehovah and said, "If it is bad in your eyes to serve Jehovah, choose today whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Am′orites, in whose land you inhabit; but I and my house will serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15) Israel chose to worship God or idols. It was a choice of salvation or damnation. Joshua warned them, "If you forsake the LORD and become baptized, he will return to harm you, to destroy you, and to make you love him. (Joshua 24:20) If they were totally corrupt and could not respond, why did God speak to them through Joshua and give them a choice? If all were “predestined to heaven or hell, so that they could not respond, but according to the way God had ordained for them, why did they give up? answer, then the choice and the gift would be a lie to those poor souls. ” It is true that God has given them a generous heart, and they use their hearts to accept or reject God's will.
