Hell was made for Lucifer and his demons. God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son. God wanted all of us to go to heaven. But unfortunately very few make it.
Satan created the absence of God which is hell.
That’s powerful. Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of a quote by an orthodox priest “Hell is the love of God rejected”. These thoughts make me want to share and live out the gospel even more.
@@barbwellman6686 Satan didn't create anything except REBELLION against God. God created the heavens and Earth. God sent Satan and a third of heaven (angels) to darkness before the Earth and the universe was made. God did indeed made hell.
@@barbwellman6686 GOD in His mercy allowed for hell to exist.
@@kingston163 In the way that God writes straight through crocked lines. For instance, the Crucifixion.
Jesus says that God does not desire anyone to perish but for all to come to repentance.
Yes thats another good point
In the Bible it also says that God chooses who He shows grace and mercy to.
That though however doesn't prove or support his arguement.
Yes this is his desire.
You have really butchered 2 Peter 3:9 here. You need to exegete that verse instead of just making stuff up.
The original verse says [in the relevant part to which you refer]: "The Lord is...not wishing for any to perish..." You must first answer the question: Any "what"? In other words, what is the antecedent of "any"?
That hopefully will get you started.
My Lord does not want anyone to go to hell. It is us who has freedom of choice. Some people do not realize what their choices will bring to their future.😢
no he doesn't. he does say if you continue to ignore him, that he will hand you over to a reprobate mind and hand you over to Satan to destroy you! not tickle your feet, destroy you. have an awesome journey here 😎
@deborah, when was the last time u shared the GOSPEL?
@@abjoseck9548 she is sharing gods word, we all should have free will!!
Roman’s 9:19-25
Thank you . This is very very helpful information for me and my family.
Thank you for this simple explanation!
It's simply wrong. If you want to follow someone or be misled by someone you keep listening to this guy
The chair does not tell the carpenter why did you make me this way sorry
Few years back they made me question Christianity because apparently God already chose those who will go to Heaven.. I kept on saying what of John 3:16, Jesus says whosoever(like everyone not just those He chose). I questioned the whole Christianity faith for a while. But thank God am back now
Yeah it's just another example of a man's view and interpretation of the Word. John Calvin, Joseph Smith, Charles Taze Russell...all men who people followed instead of following Jesus!
We have the Holy Spirit to guide us
Who are you to question God? He can do what he wants with whoever he wants how he wants. If you believe this you're missing Romans
@@eatmyshorts4727Yes he can do whatever he wants, but he chooses to do good, and he gave us free will.
@@inpokRomans 9:10-24
And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad-in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls- What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills. You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory-
@UC-tZkn2lUoxx4d2pC1GZM2A,when was the last time u shared the GOSPEL?
And that's it, we decide to turn man into god rather than seeking God personally.
Feb 8, 2023 I had a dream I was rebuki g a woman for preaching calvanism and Christ stepped in my dream and took me out. I dont recall anything except I woke up @1:24am yelling loudly" We are to be alert and sober" & Holy Spirit repeated a verse in my head for an hour till I spoke it out loud, after speaking "For I come as a Thief in the night" He stopped and I felt His peace. We dont know when, only our Heavenly Father. Sooner then soon. regards to calvanism1cor6:9,10
Luke8:12,13.
Jesus is the true vine, the branch who abides in Him (stays in) produces many fruit, branches that break off are thrown in the fire. Dont be decieved by false doctrines. I appreciate this short Vlad!
If it was already predetermined then why would Jesus say go out and make disciples. There would be no need to spread the gospel
That's why Calvinist are not that fired up into going out and spreading the gospel.
Exactly!
Calvinist do not go out.
@@kingston163 when was the last time u shared the GOSPEL?
Exactly.
HOW DO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHEN & WHAT TO POST???! I was literally explaining to someone like last week why Calvinism is a false belief system.
So crazy….
Maybe because you're both being deceived at the same time? Ever think of that and you're just all wrong.
God’s timing is always perfect 👍 😊
@@eatmyshorts4727 presumptuous of you to assume I’ve never considered that.
How do you know you have free will? And in calvanism god is actually a god. It makes much more sense than saying god is powerless he needs us to do stuff for him to help him save us. No, god can do what god wants therefor calvanism actually makes more sense than free will. If you think that makes god bad then cool, but who are you to say what god does is good or bad, god doesnt opperate based on a humans level of understanding of good and bad. Hes literally god 😂
@@crazyboysince1998 you obviously have the ability to consider the ideas & concepts you’re posing so by nature is that not free will? Why would God even allow you to question that if you were actually just some mindless automaton? And are you not accountable for your actions?
I have a feeling you don’t have a very good understanding of God’s character if that’s what you think.
Mormonism took a lot from Calvinism and Islam.
Pastor Vlad, I hope you will talk more about this stuff in a longer video. A lot of people seem to follow this idealogy. I would love to know more about it so I can compare, based on my own experienced walking this journey with God.
I been tryna to discuss speaking in tongues with a Calvinist it’s very difficult since they refuse to have a civil conversation and they blatantly mock it
Same experience here 😞 You can tell there’s some sort of spirit behind it as it’s so aggressive. Not gracious or understanding at all.
Years ago, I lived next to a Christian Reformed family. I said that people must be born again, and their son mocked me, saying, " Born again is just fancy words with no meaning". He grew up to be a CRC pastor. Ugh.
@@zareth-shahar I stumped them on this and since I gave them this specific scripture refuting the great Johnny boy MacArthur he refuses to respond now,,their biggest argument against is..tongues are only known languages so I gave 1 Cor. 13:1 where Paul speaks not just of tongues of men but angelic tongues.I asked if John MacArthur claims it’s only known languages then what is Paul referring too in this scripture? And if it’s angelic when did John become fluent in angelic tongue. It’s been a week still no response
@@marielongo4482 so their blatantly mocking Jesus Christ now that’s just scary
@@zareth-shaharI think you’re correct. There’s a spirit behind it. I’ve been wrestling with some kind of religious spirit for years now, and it seems to have wanted to steer me towards Calvinism. I had an ugly season wrestling with that theology.
Jesus Spoke of spiritual things and physical things. Some people think the Bible contradicts itself, but they don’t understand this Calvinism is in the mind of the father knows all things outside of time, space, and matter
Jesus, God incarnate knew this. he said things, like how could David be his son and his Lord
think about how he would flip back-and-forth between the things of the spirit and our physical life manifested by the spirit. God knows what we will choose.
If I leave the church I attend in the future Call who is not subject bound by time knows that I will make that decision and I will be Judged for it
Does not negate free will in time we have a will and God is always speaking, but we don’t hear because we are too self-absorbed.
Thank you so much. This has infiltrated the church in bits and pieces and even in songs. Thank you for clear explanation!
Amen , God will is for everyone to be saved
Amen! Our God is the God of love and wisdom and He is good 🔥🔥🔥
Wow, Calvinism I didn’t even think anyone thought about Calvinism in todays day and age.
It's extremely common in churches, except Calvinists will deny they are Calvinist - because it would be a dead give away of their poison teachings. Lots of churches preach Calvinism and just call it bible, they are very sneaky about it.
Come to Mizoram, North east India. The state is rooted in Christianity but Calvinism.
@@loriehaisen9555noone hides it lol
Interesting that is a question I have recently. I didn't know that is called Calvinism until now.
Evil is perversion of good and God creation. Whatever horrible thing that happened to you God turns it into good. God does not want anyone to go to hell but for us to turn away from our wicked ways:Ezekiel 33:11 Say to them, As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways!"
Amen, totally on point 👍
I was a Calvinist at the start of my faith walk, having many Calvinist influences in my life. I began to debate the question. How can salvation be only for some when verses like
1 John 2:2 and John 3:16 exist? But how can those be true if in the Old Testament, people were created for destruction? That was until I read Roman’s 11:32 and it’s prior verses. Now it’s not much of a question for me. And I find it very heartbreaking to hear from the Calvinist’s in my life, who openly MOURN the sadness of their own doctrine.
Thank you.
I’m no calvanist but I do believe we determine if we go to heaven or hell. By saying that, I mean that we are in control on how we choose to live and who we choose to worship. God gave us the way to get there but he also left us with a choice. He is the final judge indeed, but we choose the way we live, God won’t force you live right
Good exegesis on Calvanism.
❤️❤️❤️Amen Brother🥰 It's Father's wish all come to repentance but all who keep rejecting Him till the dead line, They'll get what they wish. He gives us what our soul desires. If someone desires hell, they'll go there. Righteous will do rightly till last day and wicked will do wickedly till last day. He is just sifting us through this world age to find out who else still Loves Satan so he can boot them with him out of his Forever Kingdome . Put ye yourself in his shoes. If you were gonna spend forever with someone, you want be sure they are good people. No?😉
What he is describing is not Calvinism but hyper-Calvinism. John Calvin and Martin Luther both based the majority of their views upon the views of the church fathers. It was Augustine's writings that helped Luther formulate his writing The Bondage of the Will (and I have read it before). Calvinists do not believe even half of the things described here (and I say that as a Calvinist). While I cannot write a full defense of Calvinism here I would highly recommend Chosen by God by R.C. Sproul as what I believe is the best defense of Reformed theology.
Thank you for sharing this. In my journey in seeking the Lord and doing my best to have a strong relationship with Him, I came across John Pipers teaching. I thought what John piper was teaching was true. What I experienced next was the darkest time of my life. I wish I had never came across the doctrine of Calvinism. My understanding of who Jesus Christ was was completely flipped. I am now back on track and I understand the significance of free moral will and how we are held responsible and God is good!
Now I see why all of a sudden I stopped receiving daily devotions in my email from John Piper. And I was wondering if I unsubscribed but remember not doing it. I think God took that away from me because He knew it wasn't all true.
Christ died for ALL not just some.
Do you have a teaching on pre- destination.? So many pastors teach it from a Calvinist view. I somehow think it's not right
Indeed it's not right. The word Predestination simply means: a destination has been set beforehand. The question now is: WHO is predestined to WHAT? The answers are from the context of whichever Predestination passage you're reading.
In general, most, if not all, passages about Predestination are God choosing individuals/people for service or other purpose, NEVER for salvation.
@@gk.4102That is it, God choosing people for services and particular purposes.
I don't believe humans have total free will and sometimes God intervenes in his creation to fullfil its sovereign plan. For example, there are a lot of testemonies of people that prayed years for the salvation of their relative/friends and were answered by God. I don't have scriptures at hand but I don't think this issue is black or white.
I'm not a theological expert, but I don't see a lot of good fruit coming from Calvinism. Maybe some but I feel like it hurts hurting people. It makes God into a divine bully.
“There are two things that are absolutely clear in Scripture-one is that God by His foreknowledge has predestinated all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ “to be conformed to the image of His Son” (Rom. 8:29). Predestination is never to heaven nor yet to hell; but always to special privilege in and with Christ. All who believe in Him were chosen in Christ “before the foundation of the world.” Harry Ironside
God gave us free will. This is one reason we are made in the image of God. We are responsible for our sins. And Jesus is the only way to be forgiven. In Calvinism, since we aren't accountable, there would be no reason for Jesus's death and resurrection. ❤
Exactly. Perfect breakdown of Calvinism. AMEN
Have you ever tried reading the Bible for yourself? Have you ever read the book of Romans where it says who are you to question God and why did you make me this way? He doesn't have a problem with Calvinism he has a problem with God and the Bible
@@eatmyshorts4727 I agree 💯
@@eatmyshorts4727 AMEN
Not really lol. It doesnt even touch on the 5 points
But what about the names that are found in the book of life since the foundation of the world?
He has a problem with the Bible he doesn't have a problem with Calvinism.
That's why I like you vlad, you're so balanced.
No sin's in heaven.. Sinful heart won't enter heaven. Repent and turn from your sinful ways.. Time is short, God Bless All 💯❤️
Brother plz pray sugar is high
Amen❤❤❤❤
i think of it like this. god knows whos damned and whos saved because hes omniscient
Calvinists are great when it comes to biblical knowledge but absent any real holy spirit given wisdom
🙌🏼very
So, I am related to someone who believes in Calvinism and I was trying to understand what it was all about. I don't think that we should be adding anything to or taking anything away from the word of God. 😕🤔
" Innocent suffering" Dude no one is innocent
Why brother why are we putting God in this box of Arminianism or Calvinism? Is God limited to be one way? He is unlimited where he can be both sovereign over all man and yet let us have free will. God is so much more than these isms that we place on Him. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of all.
calvanism doesnt suggest that man isnt accountable for his actions.Mike Winger is a very good teacher,thats the first time i heard od calvinism.Cant we just ALL agree Jesus is LORD AND SAVIOR,THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDES US AND GOD IS OMNICIENT,OMNIPOTENT,AND OUR FATHER.WHY EVEN SPEND TIME ON THIS!
It is God's desire for no one to go to hell we all have a choice.
What about satan's children? I am also struggling with this because I want to care for all people but are there some who cant be saved? Tough and really hard to know exactly
Like Jesus said. For you it’s impossible. But for God anything is possible. All we can do is pray for them.
It depends if they are 100% human dna the yes. If they where born from manipulation of DNA and are hybrids. Unfortunately the fallen Watchers learned how to manipulate the womb of woman and the Marine Kingdom of Leviathan the Father of the Proud have parallel world where most of our advanced technology and ungodly technology comes from here in union with Cosmic Realm in Space the Pandemonium kingdom of Satan system 999 of high technology.
Children of the devil are people who rebel against God aka the children of lawlessness
We r told to plant the seeds, just like in the parable of the sower, we are called to be sowers but it is up to the Holy Spirit whether the seed flourishes and the person comes to truth. While there is still breath in their bodies tho we r to try win them for Christ, there is a chance for them to turn so long as they r alive! As for stuff on predestination, listen to what Gods Word says by reading Romans 8:28 and 29 and Romans 9:10-25 and study them and pray on them. Bc Vlad is not using Scripture to support his argument on this but his own opinion. Look to the Scriptures not man’s own opinion, bc honestly we cannot always understand the ways of the LORD; we as humans as fallible and make mistakes so look at what His Word says and pray about it.
1 Corinthians 5 But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.12What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? A perfect example of this plays out in the Netflix Series "Dirty John". Sweet woman thinks a con man can change. Spoiler alert! He doesn't.
Amen❤️
Simply said "I'll do whatever I want, Jesus saved me already." What hypocrisy. I live in a neighborhood full of this behavior.
That’s hyper calvanism
Amen
Interesting!
I didnt even and still dont know what Calvanism is ...hmmm.....I'm gonna have to look this up....
Calvinism basically says, God chose you you didn't choose God. Don't listen to this guy he's dangerous in this topic. He's questioning God he's not questioning Calvinism
@@eatmyshorts4727 No. He's questioning Calvinism, not God. Also what you said is a fraction of what Calvinism is.
The foundational philosophical core of Calvinism is determinism (i.e. God determines/decrees absolutely everything). Everything stated in this short are logical implications of determinism.
I agree with Calvinism.....it makes more sense to me.
God is omnipresent and all-powerful and so decides everything and allows everything to happen......including all the evil
But thats at odds with Jeremiah 19:5 and Ezekiel 33:11 and all of Romans 11 with the gentiles being grafted in along with Israel and the same branches he cut off being grafted in again if they believe.
sounds like most athiests are athiests bc they are actually calvanists
So true! Because if I know God already appointed who goes to where, then why try, I'll just do my thing because I might be loving God when I'm already "predestined" for hell.
I don’t subscribe to Calvinism but the irony to me is that in his infinite wisdom, the Lord knows when he is creating someone if they will reject him.. therefore he’s known since the beginning of time where each of ends up.
Augustine corrupted Christianity.
How?
🎯🎯🎯
Vlad, I have so many questions in my heart relating to this, some I'm trying to figure out how to word because I want to approach this in a state of meekness and willingness to learn more about the Kingdom of God. I am a body part of a Presbyterian Church so I am also trying to put aside my bias. One question which God has put on my heart is the matter of the Book of Esther. As you know God is not mentioned once in Esther yet the symmetry and the way in which the story plays out may suggest that God was indeed present, watching over his people. Would this be an indication that God was using all as instruments for his will and would this also point toward predestination?
God uses all for his will.
In Joseph story he used Joseph's brothers sin of selling him to slavery in bringing about the fulfillment of Joseph's dreams .
But calvinism goes way beyond that definition of sovereignty to make God willing for evil.
do you have free will or not? Did God give Adam and Eve a choice or not? He did give them a choice, they chose the bad and He knew they would so He already had a plan to save them. God gave people free will, but He does already know what they will do.
Read Romans 9:10-25 as well as Romans 8:28 and 29 for stuff about predestination. It is Scriptural. The Bible is clear on it, and then once clear start looking up what the Bible says about free will, and pray on it. Remember that none of us deserve heaven. We all deserve hell, the fact God wud save any of us is incredible and it is not bc of anything in us, bc he loved us even before we loved him. Before the foundations of the world was set he knew us by name.
@@devinvanleeuwen1671A text without context is just a pretext. That's how Calvinism thrives.
An instrumental cause used by an agent does not make the efficient cause substantially equal to or morally identical with the instruments by which he accomplishes his purposes. Carpenters and their hammers are neither morally nor substantially equivalent. To say the devil isn’t used to accomplish the Lords will seems odd at best. Why not use your enemy against himself!? But I like the parroting of the anti-Calvinist talking points. The truth is generally found in the middle. There are as many passages supporting Calvinism as there are Arminianism.
I'm confused on this one
Is Calvanism the basis of Calvary Chapel? Does anyone know?
God died for all people and wants us to be saved. Having free will we can reject his offer. Its that simple. There is no predestination for heaven or hell. Heaven is full of people who are there by choice. God doesnt force anyone. If love is forced then it is no love anymore. Calvinism is not Christianity!
You must have missed Romans 9 and all the passages that speak of God accomplishing His will in heaven and on earth.
This is a misunderstanding of what free will is and calvinism.. we have the ability to make choices but our choices are affected by our inclinations/ desires.. which are desires to do what is sin so how is the will free if it's a slave to sin. The world's understanding of free will today is that we're not inclined neither to good or bad and we make choices from a neutral possition. If calvinism isn't true then we aren't totally saved by grace. Since is a synergistic construction where God does 99% and we do the 1 percent to bring forth salvation. Therefore God always need to have a plan b since Paul had the free will to reject him and Moses and David. How much back up plans does God need to have because of MAN'S SOVEREIGN FREE WILL to change God's plans. I would strongly suggest James white to properly represent Calvinism
Dear Bro, I respect you immensely, but please explain Isiah 45: 7 in the king James?
Iff God did not create evil , then how can God be glorified for solutions against evil in our life’s. We as humans do not create evil, it is already there as soon as we are born?
Please explain Isiah 45: 7, 8.
Or am I then now guilty of vers 9 and 10 ?
Thanks for a explanation.
God did not create evil. God is all good. Satan rejected the good, and he created evil.
Adam sinned against God, as did Eve and together they chose to follow Satan instead of God.
_"If God did not create evil , then how can God be glorified for solutions against evil in our life's?"_
What kind of thinking is this?
God doesn't need to be the arsonist in order to be the firefighter. He redeems evil for good; He doesn't cause it via devine decrees. By evil, I'm talking about moral evil and not natural catastrophes that God can sometimes bring upon people as a form of judgment.
Salvation belongs to the Lord....also read Job whos in control- God
Every Christian believes that. What's your point?
The book of Job does seem a bit like God uses the devil.
That means if Calvinism is true, then their followers of that theology are all sub-conscious Gnostics
For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. - Romans 8: 29,30
And this one is undeniable. Predestination is obviously biblical, and is addressed by Paul. Look here at Romans 9.
And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad-in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls- What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills. You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory- Romans 9: 10-24
I understand it is hard to wrap your head around it, but the LORD does not desire us to go to hell, but predestination is still true. The Scripture is clear. U cannot deny that Paul clearly addresses it in the text, and addresses ur issue saying that ppl wud say “why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” How did Paul answer? “Who are you, O man, to answer back to God?”
Please, get away from ur own biases and plz do a better study of what Calvinism actually says and more importantly what the Scripture says. Bc ultimately that is what matters most, let scripture breathe, don’t read into it. There r explanations for free will, some of the strongest Christians church fathers have been Calvinist for a reason. Not saying u have to be Calvinist to be saved, I wud not be so arrogant to say such a thing, but perhaps be careful about how quick I r to condemn such a belief before u even truly understand it or it’s arguments. If u disagree, maybe use scripture as well and address the scriptures that calvinists pull their beliefs from instead of just ur own opinion. I mean this with all respect, and hope u will do a diligent study into this. God bless you, Vlad. 😃

_"The scripture is clear"_
Yeah when you've been trained to read the Bible with Calvinism lenses on, then you see Calvinism everywhere.
But why is this teaching based just on a few verses in the Bible and cannot be witnessed by other verses in the Bible?
If Christ always said it is written and I'm not sure He studied just a portion of the scriptures at that time but studied everything.
I realised all "Calvinist" teachings focus on the same particular verses and try not to witness the teachings with any other passages in the Bible.
And as one who uploads this teaching and belief, do you think you die now you're definitely meeting God and Jesus?
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Isaiah 45:7 Isn't that the word of God?
Honestly? This verse is so complex, it’s like an analogy. He form the light,and in doing so darkness has been created. Let’s take a reference in the fall of Lucifer, he is a being of light and yet darkness has creeped in him. But just because darkness was created doesn’t mean that God can’t turn the weapon of darkness into good, in darkness God’s light and glory will be revealed. Just like Adam who brought darkness into mankind and all of the earth, Jesus who is the Light in the dark has invaded the darkness and because of that God’s glory and grace has been revealed to mankind.
He makes peace and create evil. Is like what Jesus did. He brought peace to the earth and yet evil/ rebellion still continued.
We all only see the pixel in this whole picture but God sees the whole of it. That’s why it’s important to trust Him because He knows what is good. Romans 8:28
I hope this helps you. I know that this may not be a very great explanation for my knowledge is limited but this is a revelation I had and I try not to make it sound so complex. God bless you
@@randemiar4304 but Jesus didn't come to bring peace. Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one's foes will be members of one's own household” (Matthew 10:34-36).
@@britneyology1 are you saying Jesus didn’t brought peace to you? Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross is what makes peace to those who’ve accepted it. And yet not all have accepted it and still in rebellion against it. The Gospel divides the goat from the sheep, the tare from the wheat and the believers from unbelievers. This is the division that Jesus is talking. But in the true body of Christ, He wants unity and peace.
@@randemiar4304 Jesus brings me peace, but according his word, He did not come to bring peace to the world. As you said, he came so that His will know His truth. That he is the way and the world is of Satan. He came to be the sword, the armour to protect us from the evil of this world. We who accept the Holy Spirit and believe that Jesus died so that we can live are blessed to know peace. We are blessed to be among his flock. John 6:37: “All that the Father gives me will come to me.” I believe many verses in the bible support Calvinism, which to me is a misnomer. Why does Calvin get to claim God's truth as if it were unique in translation?
I consider myself a four point Calvinist and yet believe man is completely accountable for his sanctions. Calvinism is not monolithic . Just because one person who claims to be a Calvinist says something that does not mean all Calvinists believe the same.
This guy does not understand Calvinism and as a result he's speaking against it. What he's really speaking against is God he should read the book of Romans.
Someone once told me no one reading the Bible for the first time can come to "calvinistic" conclusions without having that previous bias and that is not true. I came to my own conclusions and then I found a pastor calling himself a 4 point Calvinist, read about it and I was surpised such view existed already.
All Calvinists claim that man is accountable for his actions, but this is just an ad-hoc claim and doesn't follow from the claims of Calvinism. The logical conclusions of Calvinism strip man of accountability.
This Is meat and Wine.
Some say most are going to hell !!! What's the message I'm confused 😕. This is what Catholics teach so which is truth ?!!?
No, God says that he would that. No man would go to hell, not that some would go to hell, none.
It’s specifically the false doctrine of double predestination and denial of human free will that turns God into the author of sin and a morally objectionable Creator, who gives the damned no free will choice whatsoever and allows them to go to hell for eternity. That’s neither biblical nor historic Christianity, and it is morally contemptible.
Thank you!!! I feel this whole thing is another teaching from the Devil. I'm so sure, if Saul(Paul) was alive right now persecuting Christians, Calvinist would have already labelled him as destined for hell.
Congratulations on misrepresenting Calvinism!😊
@@savedby_grace6110 How do you know you are elect?
2 Cor. 4:4 talks about Satan blinding the minds of unbelievers so they will not see the light of the Gospel. Why would Satan need to blind those who are spiritually blind already? Is this a double blinding?
Why would God command all men to repent (Acts 17:30) if they can't unless God aids them by granting regeneration?
Why do so many Calvinists struggle with assurance?
Why is there not one bible verse that explicitly states that regeneration precedes faith?
Why does Ephesians 1:13 tell us that we hear and believe before we are sealed with the Holy Spirit?
If God tells us that his nature is that he cannot lie, then why would it appear he has a revealed will in Scripture (all can come: Jesus will draw all men to Himself; whosoever believes) but He has this secret will that only the elect can come?
I agree
Did I hear you right?? God WANTS some people to go to hell?? Or does Calvinism say that? Kind of confused.
Yeah I was shocked
Pastor Vlad was saying that if you believe in Calvinism then that’s what you believe “that God wants to send people to hell”. Biblical we Christian’s know He doesn’t. So that is why Pastor is against it
No. No it does not say that. I wish Vlad wud use Scripture to address Calvinism instead of his opinions and more importantly actually address the Scriptures that Calvinists use to say predestination is biblical. Argue from the text. Romans 8:28-30 and Romans 9:10-25 are very clear and even uses the word predestination in the text.
Vlad, you don't understand Calvinism...
Calvinism is heresy.
No its heterodox
@@stluke4655 whether you like it or not, it’s still heresy! It can also be your heterodox.
@geraldineekhator5428 its not a christological error its not heresy. People wont go to hell for believing calvinism. Lol. Its heterodox. A secondary issue.
@@stluke4655 Well yes can go to hell for not believing in Jesus Christ being the Son of God. Because that’s the unforgivable sin. Only because they deny the truth about God. So it’s heresy.
@geraldineekhator5428 calvinism is generally accepted therefore heresy. Stop throwing that word around
You can't see the point of God 's salvation, check your eyes
Isaiah 45:7? Ephesians 1:5?
Sounds like gnosticism(which goes along with paganism and Luciferianism/atheism).
Where does it say GOD want some to go to hell?
Watch the video over and over again till it sinks in. You have ears to hear but you’re not hearing/listening.
People who are saved / received hiss salvation.
The Bible doesn't say that; but that's what Calvinism entails.
God actually wants MOST to go to hell
I've never heard of Calvinism
God created and is everything. Evil is included in that.
High eyes have been weaponized birthday Mass
"God wishes hell is not necessary" You're joking right?
Funny how he uses emotional arguments, no scripture
And referencing the early church, that same early church rejected gibberish tongues, they were real languages and requires interpeting and tongues went away
He is claiming things that many Calvinists do not believe. He may not agree with it and I admit like any theological system it has weaknesses but to equate Gid with the Devil is just wrong. Two things can be true at the same time. God can be ultimately sovereign and in control of every thing. While at the same time man can make choices and be responsible. God hardened Pharaohs heart and Pharaoh hardened his own heart. The Bible claims both are true. Election and predestination are both clearly taught in Scripture and man is told God loves mankind and he needs to believe to be saved. Both are true. Just because we may not understand it one side cannot be dismissed.
_"He is claiming things that many Calvinists do not believe."_
Yes Calvinists tend to deny the logical implications of their system.
_"Two things can be true at the same time."_
Calvinism is the ONLY system where two contradictory things can be true at the same time.
_"Election and predestination are both
clearly taught in Scripture..."_
True, but not Calvinism's Election and predestination.
God gave us a free they have to choose a sice Jesus say you can't serve two masters, money are GOD,
Common misconceptions of calvinism
Yes , same as rest of protestantism, but calvinism is most heretical
Then explain the prayer in the garden where Jesus prays for the father to keep “those that he gave to him” and said that he was not praying for the world. Also where Jesus said that none can draw near to God unless drawn by him (John 6:44). Scripture seems to teach that God is sovereign in the sense that calvinists teach (I’m not even calling myself a Calvinist, they just seem to have very scripturally sound logic).
Those that He gave to Him? Are the people who are humble and not proud. Who knew themselves that they have sinned and in need of saving. The rest are the opposite.
John 6:44. Well God is constantly speaking/ giving us a chance to come to Him. The matter is the heart who wants to submit. Who are not proud, and this verse tells that God indeed draw people to Jesus and it’s not a matter of CAN anymore. Cause once God draws you to Him, He already given you a power so that you CAN come to Him, it’s a question of WILL you come to Him now that He is drawing you to Him. Does that make sense?
And Romans 8:28-30 uses the words predestined, and Romans 9:10-25 also goes into depth on it. U read those two and then all the rest of the Bible, it is just really clear.
Vlad, have you even read any of Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion?
Calvinism and Arminianism are biblical but we human with limited minds cant reconcile. But in God’s point of view these two are perfect sense. It is really sad seeing pastors using their platforms to create divisions on church. I hope this done out of pure love not just to prove whose interpretations are correct. At the end of the day, His ways are higher than out ways and we cant fully understand the fullness of who God is. God bless 🙏
I disagree- as a former calvinist
I think it’s time for all of us to read the Bible in it’s full context, to see and understand the message it’s trying to convey not just to satisfy our own beliefs. These 2 doctrines just created division amongst the body of Christ that is so hard to reconcile because of pride and hate that has grown in the hearts against it’s own brothers and sisters. That’s why a lot of Christians are falling away cause it just brings confusion about their own salvation, one is declaring war against one’s belief. A kingdom divided on itself will not stand that’s what Jesus said. Fighting the war against the darkness is hard, but it’s gonna be even harder to fight if our own beliefs divides us. So if anyone reads this, This a call of unity in the body of Christ. Abandon these doctrines that is creating divisions and be transformed through the renewal of our minds through His Word. God will not judge you based on who’s doctrines you were believing in. He will judged you for not believing His word. I love you all with the Love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I don't know what are the main points of difference and what is true. Can you explain, or point me to a resource? I don't want to be led astray as we are near the end times.
@@judymiller5154 it is tricky for some to discern which is which but know that they are using the word of God agains the word of God just to come up a doctrine that satisfies one’s beliefs. The word of God is true and it lights our path but we have to remember. Even satan uses the word of God to deceive Eve to eating the fruit, he uses the word of God to tempt Jesus as well.
satan is a master deceiver not because he is but because he know the word of God and how to twist and use it. That’s why I’m saying in the above comment to start reading the Bible as a whole. Cause the word of God is interconnected and woven to each other like a garment of righteous, picking out the fiber that we only liked piece by piece soon the garment will be ruined. So No. I cannot give you any other sources other than the Bible.
@@randemiar4304 I have read the whole Bible more than once. I still would like a bullet point comparison of the differences so I can begin to understand what to look for.
God controls everything.
Adam is the author of sin, Christ is the author of regeneration. It’s that simple.
Man is responsible because those who are not saved are those who will not be saved. It’s that simple. Election shows that the draw of God brings about those who will be saved and exposes those who refuse to be saved
The dead in sin will not be saved and refuse to be saved. It’s very clear.
F that we do bad which makes the world plus the truly evil ones that destroy it
