Frank, like Dr. Flowers, I love your ministry. I listen often. Question? Why not call out Allen Parr for his stance? His million followers are great, but pushing his book and agenda on your show was confusing to me. He said, on your show..."God created us all to be sinners" 34m36s. He is a self professed calvinist, should he not be debated and made to explain his views???

Frank avoids the initial question altogether. Leighton hits it on the head @1:10 and takes Frank to the mat for a tap out. Predestination/Election is Biblical no matter what any of us think. See Romans 8:29- KJV.

<<@wannabewoodworker9705
says :
It’s a reference to Genesis 25. Jacob and Esau represent nations in Rebekah’s womb. God elected one nation to SERVE the other. Not to arbitrarily save one twin and damn the other. Love and hate sometimes mean to “prefer” in scripture or to chose one over the other. Soteriology 101 & Beyond the Fundamentals are two channels ran by former calvinists who now debunk the false teaching by walking through the misunderstood passages.

I would have liked to hear more of this since Frank didn't answer all the arguments presented in this clip. I understand that the word "hate" doesn't men what we think of it as here but more like "rejected" in the sense that he wasn't the chosen one to fulfill God's plan for Israel.

It is a Hebraic Idiom. It means to love more. It is like saying that God loves Jacob so much that by comparison it is as if He hates Esau.

God promised Abraham and Sarah a son. They could not wait and got preg with Esau with a slave. God hated what Esau stood for, it was not a part of His plan to bring a redeemer into the world. So you can read in Gal. 4 [21] Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? [22] For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. [23] But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. [24] Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.(spelled Hagar in Genesis) [25] For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her (Hagar's) children. [26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. [27] For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. [28] Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. [29] But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. [30] Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. [31] So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. God's most excellent plan of salvation is Paul's salvation. Not the salvation of Moses thru the law. Phil. 1:19 Acts 28 [24] And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. [25] This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. [26] And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

<<@rachelhayhurst-mason7846

So many people believe things that smear God's character. That is the foundational reason for loss of faith & also mental illness. God's Word says anything that is not from faith is sin (Rom.14:23). Many times beliefs that threaten people's faith are confronted in the Bible. That is serious. We must take the whole counsel of scripture and reject single verses that seem to contradict other scriptures. With translation some meaning is unclear, which is why we must study God's Word alongside Him and *know* it.

<<@jaggedlines2257

I was getting quite excited with Frank's quick overview of the book of Romans when the vid ended abruptly. With regard to Romans 9 to 11 let me bring your attention to John Murray's introduction to his excellent commentary of the book of Romans volume 2. As Frank says, the apostle Paul could have gone straight from chapter 8 to chapter 12. Murray answers these questions in an excellent and professional manner. I will limit my contribution to just a few lines. In chapter 9, Paul addresses the UNBELIEF of the Jews. They are not innocent men, even though they claim that they are God's people. Page 32 of Murray's volume 2 of his book to the Romans, 9:21 Murray writes that God is not dealing with men as men, but men as sinners. I think we need to keep this in perspective when we talk about whether God is right or wrong in his judgement of all people. This is the correct Calvinist view.

says :
I'm not trying to cause any unnecssary division, but if you just replay the first minute of the video, Dr. Flowers is simply reiterating Scripture but in a mocking tone. It's one thing to have disagreements but he literally was just reiterating Romans 9 and laughing it off as foolish, without giving any real reason as to why it shouldn't be interpreted as it's read. I don't care if they're not Calvinists (still believe they are both believers), but just think if they're wrong about this passage. It seems like they wouldn't even be Christians if they were wrong because they would hate to be around "this type of God". Frank gives a good outline of Romans, sure, but he also just ignores what the clear Scripture says and doesn't really answer what the passage is supposed to mean (even if it was meant to say not all Isreal is saved, that doesn't answer the fact that Paul speaks about how some are chosen before they did anything). It's not an honest and fair response in my opinion (maybe I'm missing context from the fuller video, if so, please let me know). Blessings!

Frank, your videos disputing Calvinism need balance. Get Voddie Baucham or John MacArthur on and have a debate on those points. It's VERY telling that you avoid their theological points in FAVOR of Calvinism. There is scripture that supports both sides and I hear FAR BETTER sermons out of the Calvinist pastors than arminians. Are you afraid of debate Frank?

<<@kalobrogers235
says :
I'm distressed that a man like this of such knowledgeable experience can read romans 8 then romans 9 and not say God has predestined those who are saved. He literally uses the word predestined twice in romans 8 speaking of individuals and not nations. Before he even begins speaking of jews and gentiles. But even after he uses the vessels of wrath and vessels of mercy illustration he then mentions Pharoah, an individual that God raised up specifically to show his wrath. But let's say hypothetically you are correct that God only predestined nations, then the ultimate point of predestination still applies to individuals because by default he is choosing the individuals within the nation and leaving the others dammed that were not chosen because they were not in that nation. No matter which way you slice the pie God still chooses directly or indirectly those who will come to know him, according to his own divine will.

<<@jerrodlopes186

Hate has a very different meaning in ancient Hebrew contrasted against its meaning in modern English. Why don't we start there? That OT passage means that God had special purpose for Jacob, not that he reviled Essau. Once you understand that, Calvinism falls apart, which is why Calvinists stay away from the OT (except for the legalistic parts they relish in). They love Paul, but in reality, it is Saul that the Calvinist relates to. Now reexamine the parable of the clay vessels and the fine vessels in that light. Vessels are made to hold something. All human vessels are made to hold the Holy Spirit of God. Some of the finer ones are lifted up to inspire the others to be filled. God prefers those over the others because they are more fit for the task. He greatly PREFERS one over the others. That is the distinction between love and hate as it is rendered in the passage of Jacob and Essau.

Leighton Flowers does not represent Reformed doctrines fairly or honestly. He uses straw man arguments constantly and makes contradictory and heretical statements about original sin. When God put the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the garden he already knew with certainty that man would fall and that more souls would perish than be saved and yet he went ahead and created anyway. Jesus was the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Jesus said in John 6:22-58 that all those given to Him by the Father would most certainly come to him, that no one could come unless they were drawn to him, and that none of those given to him by the Father would be lost but raised up at the last day. That is a perfect saviour who actually saves completely all his people. A God who makes a plan and executes it to perfection rather than a god who gambled in eden and lost and then tried desperately to save everyone but failed and will be regretful for eternity rather than triumphant. I know which God is the God of scripture and it is the God who does exactly as He wills both in heaven and with the peoples of earth (Daniel 4:35).

He didn't answer the question! FRANK! Why did you avoid discussing those verses? God gave us free will. Without it...God would be guilty. 1st. God doesn't HATE people in the current sense. He called one to do His will and not the other...that DOESN'T take freedom and choice away! KNOWING the outcome is a given with a real God. But Jacob made the choice... as God knew. Esau made the choice..as God knew. He hated Esau's sin. And IGNORED HIM because he chose wrongly! The word hate... is to ignore... in the original language. It is not the same word as used for abominations or hatred as we use today. God knows ALL OF HISTORY before it occurs and Esau's sin is ALWAY EVER-PRESENT before him. He loved Esau enough to let him choose...but he KNEW Esau would choose wrongly. He can't NOT KNOW. He is God. 2nd. Without freedom...no love exists. This means God never gets to be loved or worshipped freely. God doesn't want robots repeating his worship commands. He wants people who LOVE HIM because He is actually worthy! Understand that Calvinism IGNORES the very nature of God and man and selects the ENGLISH TRANSLATION to make their case. The ORIGINAL Hebrew and Greek most certainly DON'T make that case for them. BE CAREFUL to pay attention to the REAL MEANING of the words in the Bible as we only have translations from original Words that have been translated as best the humans could do. There is no "divine" translations...just the divine original word. The multitudes of copies helps us tho KNOW the original.. and the dead sea scrolls simply ruined the atheist narratives about the Bible being corrupted over time. It wasn't. They lie. Calvinists WANT to believe that they were destined to become Christians. But the Bible is clear... Romans 10 "9.... if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Notice: You WILL BE SAVED WHEN.... NOT YOUR were saved because you were already saved! The whole of this chapter TELLS THE JEWS WHAT MUST BE DONE! Why would anyone need to do ANYTHING if we are PREDESTINED? It would be pointless to describe over and over the need for faith if there was no hope for the damned. Further, we are all called, and we were equipped with the things we needed to complete our walk of faith. His preparation of us is from His grace...not predestination. Job was quite a special man in his conviction. He needed the strength to survive the ordeal. The Lord CHOSE to equip him with that strength that some don't have. Job still chose God based in God's Awesome Glory. We as humans cannot understand ETERNITY AND INFINITY because we live inside the dimensions God designed for us. He does Not! HE exists outside of everything and can enter in any time He wants. When we try to put God into a box...even a box of His own verse of scripture, it limits Him...and He is unlimited. There is no conflict, and no contradictions... just misunderstanding and mistranslations due to our wayward hearts that seek to limit God.
