Should we let Calvinism or Scripture tell us how God disposes of his capacity to control? Jeremiah 19:5 (ESV) 5 and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or decree, nor did it come into my mind— Jeremiah 7:31 (KJV) 31 And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart. Some human actions are entirely outside God’s intended plan. Jeremiah 32:35 (KJV) 35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin. Hosea 8:4 (KJV) 4 They have set up kings, but not by me: They have made princes, and I knew it not: Of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, That they may be cut off. Psalms 78:41 (KJV) 41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. Ecclesiastes 7:17 (KJV) 17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? Ecclesiastes 9:11 (KJV) 11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV) 19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Indicates real human choice rather than meticulous determinism. Genesis 6:6 "And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart."  If God meticulously controlled everything, why would He regret creating humanity? Genesis 18:32 "And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake."  God adjusts His actions based on Abraham’s intercession, showing flexibility. Exodus 32:14 "And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people."  If God repents (changes course), then everything is not predetermined. Numbers 14:20-22 "And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word: But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord."  God alters His judgment based on Moses' intercession. Judges 2:18 "And when the Lord raised them up judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the Lord because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them."  God responds dynamically to human suffering rather than controlling events strictly. 2 Samuel 12:8 (God Speaking to David through Nathan) "And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things." • God tells David He would have given him more if David had asked! • This means God’s actions were not static or predetermined, but responsive. 1 Samuel 13:13-14 "And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. But now thy kingdom shall not continue."  Saul’s disobedience changed God’s intended plan for his dynasty. 1 Samuel 15:11 "It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments."  God expresses regret over Saul’s kingship, implying contingency. 1 Kings 20:42 "And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people."  God’s judgment changes based on human actions. 2 Kings 20:1-5 "Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live... I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee."  God initially declares Hezekiah’s imminent death but changes His decision. 2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."  God’s actions are conditional, not deterministic. Job 1:7 "And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it."  Satan appears to have real agency, contradicting meticulous determinism. Job 14:5 "Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;"  While God knows the limits, human actions influence lifespan (e.g., Hezekiah, Ecc. 7:17) Psalm 115:16 "The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men."  Human agency is given significance in earthly affairs. Proverbs 16:9 "A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps." Humans make plans, suggesting non-deterministic agency. Isaiah 5:4 "What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?"  God expected a certain outcome, yet it didn’t happen. Isaiah 38:1-5 (Hezekiah’s life extended after his prayer, demonstrating conditional prophecy.) Isaiah 65:12 "Because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not."  People make real choices, contradicting meticulous control. Ezekiel 18:31-32 "Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye."  God pleads for people to choose life. Jeremiah 26:3 (God Contingently Offering Mercy) "If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings." • IF they repent, THEN God will change His actions. • This demonstrates God responding dynamically, rather than predetermining everything.>> <<@elysiaswigart974 says : What does love have to do with free will ? Love isn't a thing you reason through. You either feel it or you don't. You can react to how you feel and try and temper your emotions but you can't logic yourself to loving someone or something.>> <<@MarkVergini says : The problem is yourself, maybe you are saved and in error, Too make a career with this stance , instead of preaching CHRIST CRUCIFIED IS walking foolishly , THE SATAN knows Scripture, better than me or you, Does this mean that THE enemy is saved. ? Many will say , LORD ,LORD , did we not do this and this and that ,! ( Paraphrased ) I fully disagree with this video, just because you launch this stance, does not mean you are correct, because I am sorry, you are incorrect, Quit making these misleading posts , and concentrate on accountability to a true Bible teaching church, because YAHWEH doesn't need you , and HE Certainly doesn't need any man , CHRIST, IN HUMAN FLESH, CRUCIFIED, AND SEATED ON THE THRONE IS THE ONLY MAN , GOD IN FLESH>> <<@timothykeith1367 says : Calvinism is like Biblical Creationism - God spoke life into being. Alternatives to Calvinism are like Darwinism and Natural Selection - a feedback loop produces an undetermined unfinished result in an ongoing survival of the fittest.>> <<@josuetanierla9662 says : Proverbs 16 :4. The Lord hath made all things for Himself, Yea Even the Wicked For the day of evil.>> <<@joshuamissler1926 says : Isaiah 45:7 "I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create evil, I the Lord do all these things">> <<@davenelson750 says : Charles Spurgeon's book, a Defense of Calvinism clearly explains Calvinism.>> <<@Samuel3_10 says : Without seeing the full picture, one would have to believe God is the author of evil. But upon seeing the full picture, just like Job did, you realise that what seems evil in a temporal sense is good for eternity. God allows Satan to act and bring evil to us as a means of separating the Righteous from the wicked. The righteous will prevail because God has revealed himself to them. Everything is done to show why we can’t have life without God. It is all about God. God saves who he wills to save. He cannot fail to save someone. Yes we cannot truly love without the Holy Spirit. By ‘all’ being saved - all kinds of people, Jews and Gentiles.>> <<@MarySmith-ry9cu says : I'm on my third time reading through the scriptures. I am convinced that predestination and free will are both in play. Just because I don't understand how that can be doesn't matter. God is a mystery and I trust him.>> <<@EugeneHolley-rc6ry says : The Calvinist believes he is born of God, so he can then believe in the God that he is born of, Calvinists are not saved!>> <<@MarkRivers-v3q says : What's the point in interpreting God's word if you come to your own conclusion?>> <<@jimmattson8008 says : Calvinist people teach grace then faith. God must make them believe. I'm dealing with a Calvinist person now.>> <<@noynoying says : Frank isn't exegetical>> <<@HiThereHeyThere says : Calvinism is totally biblical. Folk who haven't properly studied soteriology will likely be in and follow Armenianism>> <<@WarnkizzleKompany says : Love it how he chose scripture to defend his argument. And definitely didn't just use philosophy to defend against Calvinism. A Calvinist only has to go to scripture to debunk his argument>> <<@josuetanierla9662 says : Man's spiritual Deadness in scripture sense is found in Eph, 2:5, John 5:40 - "no one will come to Christ" , John 6:44 " no one can come Christ ", Rom. 3: 11 " no one seeks God" , if a person who is already a born again believer "CAN NOT WILL" ( in his sinful nature and by his new nature ) to do God's good pleasure in Phil. 2:13 , the more the man who is dead in trespasses and sin cannot do God's good pleasure or God's will? John 6: 40. The Bible is clear for sinful men to come to Christ they must be first "be of God" so they would heed God's word. John 8:47>> <<@andrewm8610 says : Disappointed with Mr CE. He doesn't reckon with the origin of evil. If God created All things, then he created satan as an angel who becomes evil. Why did God create such a being? It is indeed a mystery as we are not told.>> <<@teacherdaphne8786 says : People exalting their Pope Calvin's words above Christ's.👎 There is One Doctrine, and it is Jesus Christ's Holy Word.>> <<@gabrieltoma9057 says : This guy does not understand what calvinism stands for.>> <<@Kalbee says : Straw man argument>> <<@Kalbee says : 99% of the people who hate Calvinism don’t know anything about Calvinism.>> <<@KevinA.Ramsey says : Romans 3:4>> <<@timothykring4772 says : The robot charge is nonsense. His view of free will is nonsense .>> <<@huntingforheaven7735 says : There were prophets in the Old Testament in whom the Spirit of Christ dwelled, as it is written, “As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬>> <<@timothykring4772 says : The idea that God authors evil isn't representative of Calvinism . If God withdraws from a person or a people that is not His authoring evil. The examples from Scripture are many where God withdraws from the person or a people and they're left to their own evil devices and desires .>> <<@SweatyDerp says : I think most of the problem with calvinism is that its very contradicting and forms impossibilities. Calvinists make it very clear that I supposedly can’t choose God because of my corrupt free will, which keep in mind, is the limitation, and then get absolutely bewildered and puzzled why anyone would be so adamant on not repenting. Secondly, most of the problem is when I (supposedly) don’t have the ability to repent yet God is the one that still expects me to do what I can’t do, as if I possessed some supernatural strength on my own. If calvinists consider that fair then there’s absolutely no way that when I tell them to fly that they call it unfair. Because in this circumstance God is asking the same off of me. Some calvinists may argue that it’s not that I’m limited to being unable to choose God with my free will, but rather it’s because my free will is corrupt and won’t choose God. That’s the limitation. I so-called have a “free will” that’s just corrupt and yet calvinists still blame me for not choosing God when clearly I had no choice on my free will and have absolutely no power to change it yet calvinists still say that it’s somehow my fault that I can’t choose Jesus? Lastly calvinists make a clear point of how if the unelected were to choose God, that they would have a supposed “bragging right”. The problem is, is that that’s exactly what God wants the unelected to do. They’re not exempt from following God, no one is, so apart from being so-called elect the only other way for the unelected to ever fulfill what God wants from them is to beat their chest and say to God that they’re just better than everyone else because they somehow managed to choose God. So that would mean that God IS the one that expects the unelect to be prideful. Now if anyone comments don’t dare say that its hypothetical, so its irrelavant, because I’m not being hypothetical. If that’s what some of you really believe and that’s what God really wants from us then his requests become unreasonable and illogical and irrelavant regardless if we could fulfill it or not as that’s what he expects from us, no matter what.>> <<@mr3817 says : Most people addressing Calvinism MISS the ACTUAL biggest issue - that their "God" has its most essential quality "Philosophical Perfection". Their "God" is the "God" of Plato and Classical Pagan Greek Philosophy. It is this ESSENTIAL Philosophical construct that makes them view God's Sovereignty through the lens of Determinism, which makes God the Author of Evil. But this is NOT THE PROBLEM WITH CALVINISM. THE Problem with Calvinism is that their "Philosophically Perfect God" cannot and does not experience anything except as an "emanation" of the eternal will from outside of time and space. This means that when it comes to JESUS and His WORK ON THE CROSS, they say that Jesus "suffered only as to His HUMAN nature" - their "God" did not suffer and die for them. This means THEIR GOD IS NOT JESUS. The most essential reality of Christianity is that God HIMSELF paid the price for us, as God. A "God" who is so "philosophically perfect" cannot do this, except as an emanation of His eternal will, but not actually subject Himself AS GOD to time and space to experience suffering upon a Cross for us. THIS is the Problem with Calvinism!!!>> <<@nancyw9220 says : This guy doesn’t know the gospel if he believes man can turn to God without being born again>> <<@Jazzfestn says : "Whats YOUR biggest flaw" Cross Examined?! "There is NOT a just man on EARTH that doeth good and sinneth not"!>> <<@Jazzfestn says : What's YOUR "biggest flaw"?!>> <<@FAITHneednotbeblind.-mh1id says : The foundational premise should be, "The hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is SEEKING such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23,24 God KNOWS who will worship Him in spirit and truth, these He CALLS to repentance and faith in Christ. "For MANY are called but FEW are chosen." The chosen are the ELECT who will enter into eternal life. They endure to the end and DO NOT fall away." The "called" who are NOT chosen are those who may receive the gospel message and believe but FALL AWAY of their OWN volition for whatever reason; be it the love of money, the pleasures of this world, idolatry, whatever, these LOOKED BACK and were not worthy of Christ. "I know my sheep, they hear My voice and the follow Me." John 10:27 "He who loves ANYONE or ANYTHING more than Me is not worthy of Me." "Do you love Me more than these?" Jesus asks US, not just Peter. "Yes Lord, You know all things, you KNOW that I love you." Then endure to the end and you will be saved.>> <<@biblebill6206 says : Listen people , predestination has nothing to do with being lost or saved but being "called" to rule with Christ when he comes . God before you were born predestined who he would "call" to follow Christ in their 1st life not everyone is called and when he calls you, you do not have to take your calling . Again. predestination is about who he would "call" before you were born to try and follow Christ .>> <<@biblebill6206 says : Listen people , predestination has nothing to do with being lost or saved but being "called" to rule with Christ when he comes .

Again. predestination is about who he would "call" before you were born to try and follow Christ .>> <<@rolysantos says : The OC was "If a man DOES these things he will live by them." IE, OBEY! What happened? God gave his laws and statutes to Israel ALONE (Psalm 147:19-20) Gentiles: "Were walking in darkness" (Isaiah 9:2) Were "Allowed to go t heir own way" by God (AWAY from Him) (Acts 14:16) Were "Without hope and without God." (Ephesians 2) Israel "went their own way" WITH the law (Isaiah 53:6) Gentiles went their own way (Acts 14:16) God was showing mankind 1. The ONLY reason ANY in Israel were saved was because GOD PRESRVED a "remnant" and ONLY a remnant (Isaiah 1:9, Romans 9:29) NO free will involved! 2. NOBODY can be saved by the law. The law was a "school master" to drive us to CHRIST! 3. Human NATURE (in Adam) is to go AWAY from God. THIS is why God implemented a NEW Covenant "NOT LIKE the old one" (Hebrews 8) It does not depend on MAN's obedience or will. So what is the NEW Covenant? Read Jeremiah 32:40 for a synopsis. God does ALL THE WORK! And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that (1) *I will not turn away from doing them good* (God will no longer turn away as He did with the OC) (2) *but I will put My fear in their hearts* (THIS is 100% God's action. This is Ezekiel 36. This is GOD quickening a soul to life by HIS Spirit (John 3) because HE chooses to (Matthew 11:27, John 6:65, 2 Cor 4:6) (3) *SO THAT THEY WILL NOT DEPART FROM ME* God GUARANTEES that what happened in the OC (man turning away) will NOT happen again because of what HE DOES inside of us! "He who BEGAN a good work IN YOU will COMPLETE IT..." God begins the work by His Spirit. God KEEPS us by His Spirit. God will FINISH the work HE started! When WE believe it is ONLY because GOD has "granted" us faith (Philippians 1:29) and it is HE "who works IN YOU both to WILL (mind) and DO (body) according to His good pleasure" Yes, Salvation is 100% of God from start to finish! ZERO free will! If God depended on our free will then the New Covenant would fail just like the Old Covenant because "God found fault with THE PEOPLE!" Our free will is not part of the solution to salvation. Our free will is 100% THE PROBLEM!>> <<@jogo8261 says : Free will isn't absolute and shouldn't be assumed as such. I want to fly, but I'm not able to. I want to be able to go into the bank and withdraw $100,000 but I can't because I don't have $100,000 to withdraw. God didn't have to give Adam the desire to sin for Adam to express his own will and that's a weird way to frame God giving people the desires of their heart and it's a bit disingenuous to be honest. And why interpret "dead" as meaning unable to do anything about our sin and it's consequences. That seems like a strange way to interpret the word dead. Paul understood the difference between dead and helpless/weak. God gives everyone the ability to respond to Him? Where do you see that in Scripture? I see God sentencing nursing children to death. I see God hardening Pharoah's heart to prevent him from letting God's people go so that He can continue to destroy Egypt and I read Romans chapter 9 and the text is very clear especially if you read it in context with Romans chapter 8 which is regarding the assurance of our salvation. Romans 9 begins with Paul asking the assumed question...If our salvation is assured, how do we reconcile Israel's rejection of God, doesn't seem so secure. But Paul answers that not all Israel is Israel and even gives the example of Jacob and Esau and this example is where we see some of the most complicated mental gymnastics in order to dismiss the obvious interpretation. Paul, knowing that people would read this section of his letter to the Romans and be offended at God's willingness to choose some and harden others and accuse God of being immoral which is what the argument against Calvinism is - God is immoral if He chooses some and not others. But Paul opens Romans by illustrating that everyone is guilty and deserving of wrath. Too many Christians and Christian apologists refuse to start from that premise. They start from the premise that God owes salvation to everyone and to not offer it to everyone makes Him immoral. Paul assumes this objection and faces it head on - What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! Who are you, o man, to accuse God of being immoral?...Why else would Paul assume people would accuse God of being immoral unless the preceding verses mean exactly what they say?>> <<@DailyTheologyWynot says : That people misrepresent it and don't understand Grace.>> <<@mikecara8181 says : You are clearly an Arminian….And Arminianism was declared a heresy at the Synod of Dort… So yeah….you’re an historical heretic according to historic Protestantism>> <<@mikecara8181 says : You ain’t very good, bro…sorry>> <<@mikecara8181 says : God wants us all to be saved…but all are not saved.

How do you read the holy scriptures in Acts 11:18, 2 Timothy 2:25 & 1 Corinthians 12:9…? Holy scriptures says even “Repentance” & “faith” are gifts of God…! Holy Bible says “Eternal Life” is a “gift of God”…Romans 6:23 ! Have you earned “Eternal Life” through your [supposed] “free will” ??? It’s simply boasting…according to Ephesians 2:8&9…!!!>> <<@TheReformedPagan says : I think predestination is controversial because it unlocks systematic theology and doctrines of grace which wreck the modern lukewarm mega church system and aleniates those who would still tithe while showing up in their lukewarmness. When I first came to the Christian faith, when I committed to reading and sitting under the preaching of the word of God, I realized very very quickly that this was not a God that fails. This is not a God that is cheated, who is thwarted and not a God who is defeated. Your criticism of predestination, as is very obviously presented in the word of God, leaves you with an obvious and clear question you must then answer: how, and why does God then fail? If He wills each man, the world over to be saved, and that is the meaning of the text literally, then we participate in our salvation by CHOOSING Christ first, or are capable of rejecting Christ first, God fails. His blood fails to save, He wills something but it is unaccomplished, and by freewill man is lost. Well, you may believe in a God that fails, but I reject that unequivocally and put my trust in a Jesus who saves and sanctifies every man, from the lowest to the greatest, until the very end and loses not one. Who he wills to be saved, is inspired to the faith, irresistible grace is poured out in that person's life while yet they are DEAD in their trust passes and sin, all Glory alone given to God, and that call is effectual and they will be made regenerated. Period. God is not thwarted, cheated, defeated or surprised. Sola scriptoria, sole fide, Sola de la Gloria 🙏♥️>> <<@eric_sandstrom says : Yeah just disregard the plane reading of the text Mr. Cross examine whatever your name is. What a joke so disgusting sickening all your efforts be cursed as God hates every false way. And I don't treat you as a brother in Christ cause I don't believe you are. And this is certainly not because of your denial of The Lambs Book Of Life Doctrine>> <<@eric_sandstrom says : The issue is unbelief the fact of the matter is The Lambs Book Of Life Doctrine solidifies TULIP and Mr cross examine should be avoided many believe he's not even saved. Anybody who could hang out with. Flowers speaks volumes>> <<@Faber-cator says : My opinion of the biggest flaw of Calvinism, is that being saved is a "contract". New testament means new contract. In the old testament (contract) God said, "I gave you laws to obey, and I will be your God, and you will be my people" This is classic contract language, where there is performance on both parties of the contract.....which a contract, or testament MUST have. Calvinism takes away the performance (free will to accept) from the part of the people. This makes God the only party required to perform anything. Do calvinists really believe that God wants to "chose" who loves him? or give them the free will to want to know him, and love him. We are...after all created in HIS image, and I don't think I would want to have someone as a "bride" who I chose, and they would learn to love me.>>
