Calvinism is insulting to God. However, many Calvinists would not think so. But do many modern Calvinists know what John Calvin actually taught, or where his doctrines came from?
Michael Pearl teaches through some of the history of Calvinism and what it teaches.

TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL THINE HEART ; AND LEAN NOT UNTO THINE OWN UNDERSTANDING . PROVERBS 3 : 5 KJV ❤
@MartinSpeaks the last time I visited a calvinist petting zoo, it smelled like 🐐💩
@MartinSpeaks I wouldn't bet on that LOL
Mr. Pearl is also KJV only and hyper-dispensational, both of which are not backed up by the Bible itself. Nothing in the Bible prohibits translating it into the modern vernacular, and to claim that all the other English translations are corrupt is rediculous. The KJV itself was revised in the mid 1700s.
@MartinSpeaks You realize that the Bible pre-existed any of the translations in English, including Geneva. The king James version is the accurate version in the English language. Do some research
@MartinSpeaks there was more than one king James involved, did you know that? And KJV Bible isn't the main source for genuine translation. If a simpleton hears the gospel being spoken not reading from the KVJ, and believes Jesus is the way, then surley Christ will receive him/her through the anointing of the Holy Spirit of God
Wow. Now I get where some of the extreme disciplinary measures, practiced by my parents and theirs, originally got their start, which led to many of us believing we could not be loved by God, or not wanting anything to do with a god like that.
Thank You, Jesus, for rescuing me from all that!❤
Praise God
The same heathen belief about children that would cause men to sacrifice babies by burning them to death on the arms of Baal.
I love it. Glory to You always Lord Jesus🙏🏼🙌🏼
You fail to subject your "lofty" thoughts to a sovereign God.
@@jameshughes2911 These people hate the idea of a sovereign God.
I was a terrible sinner filled with guilt and shame. I came to know Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior I repented, and I turned away from the sin. I don’t do things with purpose anymore that are against God. Now, with every step I take, I pray, and hope that my actions glorify God and spread the good news of salvation found within his loving arms. My little girl was born and she wasn’t well she never matured. She had the mind of a three-year-old all of her life at the age of 16 she died. She was so innocent and beautiful. I know she’s in heaven with Jesus, even though she never really understood the Bible when it’s message, she knew that Jesus loved her and she knew to pray. Man has free will, and we live in a fallen world. If you’re sinning then you need to know there is joy in the angels of God every sinner that repents. Turn away from the sin and praise God and life will be so worth living. And this is being said, by a mother, who lost her little girl to a terrible disease.
I keep learning new things with every video. Can’t believe how much there is to learn and understand. God bless you Mr. Pearl
I'm just discovering your channel. Thanks for challenging Calvinism (Augustinian philosophy)!
Amen! Calvinism is the great heresy of our time.
I won't even pretend to know anything about the Bible even close to your expertise, but this is one verse that has always comes to me when ever I hear of or see someone hurting a child:
Matthew 18:6
“If anyone causes one of these little ones-those who believe in me-to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”
You're right , calvinism accuses GOD of hypocrisy and corruptly portrays GOD and HIS righteousness.
Except that has nothing to do with actual little children.
@@BobbyFiermontifinish your statement. Who does it apply to?
@@jelly7310believers
@@jelly7310 I believe Jesus was referring to the Apostles and any disciples of his, not actual children. It honestly could apply to both children and the aforementioned, in my opinion, but I think He actually meant any follower of His.
GOD-bless!
When i think of all these evil beliefs i just rest in Jesus.
He said my sheep hear my voice and they follow me and another they will not follow.
Thank you Jesus for saving us 🙏 🙌 ❤️
Proverbs 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.
Is this supposed to be a pro Calvinist verse taken to imply man makes no choices?
Hamartology keep us free from calvinism....many verses have power to release chains from man's teachings.......
Yes, and he turns the heart of the king whatever way he wishes. But neither one of those verses proves Calvinism by any stretch. It proves that God is sovereign over the affairs of men and does whatever he needs to do to bring about his desired ends in a particular situation, not necessarily in every single instance.
While I am not a Calvinist and do not attend a Calvinist church, something was deeply troubling about this video to me. Maybe it’s the fact that I was in the military, and I understand how as a Christian you are trusting the Lord for your protection. God is sovereign. To be able to fight, and remain effective as a soldier, the thought of some stray bullet killing you or stepping on a random land mine is crippling to the soldier mindset. I also feel it’s crippling to the mindset as a soldier of the Lord. God many times in his word, shows clearly how he is the one directing steps. “The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, As the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.”Proverbs 21:1 KJV
Someway we can’t fully understand, God is completely sovereign and in control. Also we also have our will to choose. I’m sure we have a better understanding this into eternity, but I certainly can relate to why soldiers turn to the Lord during their time in combat.
Thank you for your service brother!! 🙏 Couple of hints if I may, sir... The Lord "holding the heart of the king in his hand"it's just that. That's what it says. It doesn't say that he controls the heart of the king. But a widow praying to God? Can cause God to change the the king's heart.... This isn't a popular "take" on war, but true nevertheless. When God proclaimed the punishments on mankind for not following his commandments, war and the pestilence that follows are ranked near the top... While many may be forced to defend our families and country, we can be sure that God will hear our prayers., Because the Bible says he will. The apostles got it right and I believe, when they commanded soldiers to be "good soldiers, and don't complain about your pay" 🤣(not a personal stab at Marines or members of the lesser branches😂)... From the first page to the last, personal responsibility is emphasized throughout. We are even reminded. "God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." Although there are hundreds, that scripture all by itself destroys Calvinism! Just like on the metal Man in Daniel, the doctrines of Rome have spread out among the seed of men. But the printing press brought the "two witnesses" back to life! Some Bible readings should always be the priority. Hey brother have a great life! Lord bless you always! 👍
i am having a bit of trouble understanding as well. i believe God is in full control, but free will does exist also? We can do whatever we want within the earth we were put on, but yet God knows and has a plan he is willing to give us if we ask for it. otherwise it is our choice? but theres no pride in that because, in asking, we know we dont deserve it anyways. theres a great misconception about free will and i only pray i get the right idea about it. these are just my thoughts. doesnt make sense to me when people argue free will doesnt exist. but yet.. that contradicts life itself no?
@@hannahshaheen957 no contradiction at all precious!... Those whose "job" it is to confuse us, twist definitions of words. I hear the term "God is in control" all the time at my church. But no one EVER bothers to qualify the statement with scripture. "God has a plan". We hear it all the time. NEVER accompanied by qualifying scripture. The only defense against your enemies "tricks", is Truth... Jesus tell the religious leaders of his time, (who seem to be batting a thousand all the time concerning errors) "you believe you have eternal life, then search the scriptures, for in them you will find it"... And really it only takes about 80 hours... And your phone can read it to you while you read the script. Back to the point, sorry. God almighty lives outside of time-space and material. He created everything, by the Word of his mouth. And he does what he wants. Including making a "covenant" with mankind. And "delegating" the responsibilities of that Covenant as he sees fit. He declares what is expected from our side of that deal. And declares the positives and negatives of his side of that deal. He does not, anywhere in the Bible, inform us that he will be withheld responsible for our behavior. On the other hand he does declare a day. If you die before that day, your judgment is set. That we will be resurrected nevertheless, to face that judgment. If we wish God to "control" something, that "something" must be placed in his hands through prayer. If you give him your life to run, and are filled with his "" spirit"", or the "mind of Christ", doesn't matter to me how it is said, it indicates obedience to the will of God. An individual would have a much easier time and life if God is ordering your steps. That's a powerful truth. And you can check your "status" continually. For example, if I hear a voice in my head telling me to do something, ira mediately referred to the ten commandments, to see if it falls within the parameters of the Covenant, that Jesus preached. "Am I operating in love?"... The plan? Believe repent and be forgiven. Then "walk" in the spirit of God, in obedience. That alone would be enough. But if you make it to that point, God will go in "front" of you (your future) to lay out blessings! I only have 37 years experience of that happening to me over and over, without praying for them. So I don't know everything. But I know his word is true for sure!... Bless you sister! I will leave it to you to do a little world history research, to find out where these false doctrines come from. 🙏🥰(It won't be as difficult as you might think... And don't stop reading your Bible while you're doing it)
That's pretty much calvinism but will extra steps. Also I'm pretty sure that you don't believe in Free Will (it means that your Will isn't bound by sin.) Very often misunderstood see pelagianism, Agency of choice is a better term, ultimately most calvinists believe what you believe but call it Agency of Choice.
I would agree that there's an Intelligence that works toward the good of all. Serendipities and synchronicities are perpetually arising to meet us on our path.
In Christianity, it's referred to as Grace ---- "by Grace you are saved." The Gnostics referred to it as the Great Mind, the overseeing Presence. It is Jehovah Jireh, the One who always provides for each soul.
Faith is trust in Grace's perfect work, that all things come together for good to those who love God, to those who are in harmony with God within and God without.
Those who are not in harmony within and without receive crucibles, challenges, from which they will eventually gain the wisdom and understanding to love, first themselves, then others.
Interesting video. I’m not sure if I’d ever fit into the Calvinist category, but I enjoy listening to ppl like Spurgeon, Lawson and John MacArthur. A few things:
Calvinists do not believe in infant baptism. Just listen to John MacArthur (arguably the “biggest” Calvinist alive today); Every Calvinist I’ve ever listened to are very much against it. Maybe Calvin was at one point, but Calvinists do not believe that. The Bible is clear that we are born into sin. Furthermore, I remember being a little child and lying and manipulating as soon as I could walk and talk. None are innocent. The Bible is clear on this.
I have no idea who people like Godwell Andrew Chan are who you quote, but God isn’t the cause of all evil. But God certainly allows evil. Or do you think God is too weak to stop an evil act from happening? So if He can stop it, then clearly He allows certain things to happen. He allows us to live, and we do evil all the time. Should God smite all who do evil? Then none would be alive today. What you are doing is judging God’s sovereign will based upon your own flawed human understanding. It’s good because God does it… it’s not good and therefore God does it. He saves whom He wishes and others He does not.
This will be it for now. Maybe I’ll update it later after work tomorrow, but I doubt anybody will read this anyways lol.
You are born into a sinful world.
.
It doesn't say anywhere that babies have sin.
.
It says the exact opposite.
.
Babies are innocent.
.
***Matthew 18:3
and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven."
.
God does save whom He wishes.
.
The Son wants to save those who obey His will.
.
And the Father saves those who obey His will.
@@johnmark6628 The world itself is not sinful. A stone does not sin, nor does the ocean. It is _we_ who sin. The Bible does say it: for ALL have sinned. It doesn’t say “for all but babies have sinned.” Or “for all but those under 16 years of age have sinned.” It says ALL have sinned. That sin starts the moment we enter the world. When I told lies as a little child, those lies were not sins? Sorry, but you’re wrong my friend.
As to what you quote, Jesus did not say to “become innocent like children are.” He said to become _as_ little children; meaning we become dependent, seeking and meek.
Wrong kind of save, but I agree. We’re talking about being physically saved from danger. God spares some and some He does not. Righteous or unrighteous. That does not mean that God does or creates evil; but He certainly allows it at times. And at times He does not. To say otherwise is to imply God is incapable of stopping bad things from happening.
Reformed pastor J.C. Ryle (has some good insight regarding other topics), and Calvin himself believes in infant baptistism. I believe there are a few others.
this is what my church believes although we are not a "calvinist" church
@@ameliasexton9570 I’ve never heard of Ryle before, but I’m sure some Calvinists do believe in infant Baptism. Just as I’m sure some Baptists believe it as well. But being around a lot of Calvinists and listening to some of the bigger names preach, they’ve all preached against it. In fact, I’ve never heard of a Calvinist who supports it. I don’t think it’s a huge issue tbh, but I think if you believe in it you can still be saved. I think being baptized is to be in obedience to the Lord and not a prerequisite for salvation… and this is what most Calvinists believe and what I do as well. In fact, I learned this from the most popular Calvinist today: John MacArthur.
My history is a bit lacking, but wasn’t there a council who came out and went against some of Calvin’s teachings? I thought that’s how TULIP was created that’s used by Calvinists today. But I’m not sure on that.
Saving faith is a gift from Christ.
@@salvationbygracethroughfaith Yes, believing on Jesus, but the reason that anyone believes is because God has bestowed grace on those individuals who believe.
Ephesians 2: 8-9:
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.
I agree about the wordsmithing. Romans 6:23b" ... but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." The gift of God is salvation!
A favorite verse is Romans 4:5 "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifeth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." Believing is not a work!
Look what Paul said to the Philippian jailer, "Believe..."
My above comment is directed to @salvationbygracethroughfaith.
Amen
also our life and existence is the gift from God. How we live is our responsibility and we are accountable for it
Folks, keep it simple.

" Salvation is of the Lord." Jonah 2:9
But we must respond to the calling.
Damn straight salvation is if the Lord yea and amen brother. Faith is of man. and please don’t quote eph 2:8-9 to me …”scholarly” calvinists have had to concede that one already
“The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak falsehood wander in error from birth. They have venom like the venom of a serpent; Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear,”
Psalms 58:3-4
I stand with the
Prince of Preachers CH Spurgeon in affirming the biblical congruence of Calvanism.God is either in control, ordaining all things, or he is not. I rest in the complete
and utter sovereignty of God. Knowing that all things work together for the good of those that love him and they, who are called according to his purpose.
Same here!
God is in control but that doesn’t mean he has to control everything little detail. He gave us the free will to accept or reject Him, to obey or disobey and to truly love him or not. God is so big and in control that he can allow man free will and still work that into his plan.
@nanad6871 please demonstrate the doctrine of free will as given to us by scripture.
This is my issue. Everyone gets bent out of shape on free will vs predetermanism, but for me the issue is sovereignty. Sovereignty is one of those things you can either be or not be, there is no partly sovereign. My own conscience will not allow me to view GOD in anyway but fully sovereign.
So if God is sovereign and ordained that man should have free will, you're ok with allowing Him that discretion?
“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.”
-Ezekiel 36:26-27 KJV ✝️
Now if we, as babies, are innocent then why is it that God (and not us) has to put a new heart and spirit in us in order for us to walk in His statutes and keep His judgements?
*Note also that God’s the one doing all the work
Did you somehow miss the part that states - "You Will Keep My Judgements And My Statutes?" Its right there in the verse you quoted. How did you miss it.

it sounds true but is as sounding brass when it comes to the truth inspired by the word Of God,Jesus Christ himself,so your justifying calvinism in the name of all those thing,so let no man deceive you,its not about what you want to be true,Gods truth is eternal,it never changes,there is no such thing as denominations,Gods eternity can never be reformed,all these man made things sound like they have something but are as nought,so according to eternity,you are in error,let Gods word persuade you of his doctrine,not all these "isms"
so have an ear to hear,not your own ear,having an itching ear to hear what you want to be true,otherwise you will be ever learing and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth,subject to yourself as the devil,then you'll hear Jesus suddenly say unto you that he never knew you,why,because you were never his in the first place,weren't his,you were of the devil,a saducee who wanted their own genealogy of Jesus,or own version of Jesus,not Jesus himself,another Jesus 2cor 11:4,gal 1:8 kjv,another spirit including John calvins,void of truth,its not the same doctrine as Gods,it's its own doctrine,heresy,it not the same gospel or foundation,its corrupt,not ordained by God,a lying sign and wonder,a wandering star
Jude 1:13 (KJV) Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
not the same copy or intelligence so see yourself the chasm between you and God so that you can taste how to be born again and escape corruption and see why your foundation is not the same as Gods foundation but another
1 Corinthians 3:11 (KJV) For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
thats why its foolishness to you.
I've been born again for 65 years heard the name Calvinism but didn't know this thank you so much for this truth. Blessings to you sir.
Calvinism almost shipwrecked my faith. Instead of giving up, eating,drinking and be merry for tomorrow we die, I kept searching the scriptures.
John chapter 6 is where I found my joy.
The very fact that I’m seeking/serving/believing in Jesus means God has drawn me.
Why would Calvinism shipwreck anyone's faith?
If you believe, God chose you. If you weren't chosen, you don't believe, you wouldn't care nor call upon the name of the Lord, and you would find the gospel as foolishness, which is man's natural fallen state since Adam.
Anyone worried or wanting salvation will find it. Period. Because God initiates the whole process from predestination, to calling, to Justification, to Glorification.
@willp.8120 why would you need to ask that question? You think believing much less potentially teaching or proclaiming a man made doctrine other devil would improve one's faith and relationship with God?
I do not! I don't claim any abomination (I mean denomination) because in my opinion that's not Bibical! There is only one church and that's the Church of the Living God and it has one Teacher and that's the Lord Jesus via the Holy Spirit!
*doctrine of a devil..
@@jesusislord7733 You are confused.
If anyone believes they are chosen. If they don't believe yet, they may be chosen and come to Christ later. However, unbelievers who were never chosen view the cross as foolishness.
You really need to search the scriptures as a view of salvation without predestination doesn't put faith in the proper context in which the Bible speaks.
@willp.8120 tell me about limited atonement, your replacement theology, and most likely your kingdom now beliefs then tell me again... I need to search the scriptures...My friend.
I'd advise stop watching preachers like VB and the like who preach ONLY about the Lord who once was and is to come again....instead of realizing he's living here in some of us now. Look at the fruit of the calvinist church, it's big name preachers, and big church's and tell me God Almighty is moving there...is calvinist evangelism going on in other countries and saving multitudes? Do most "once saved always saved calvinist" you know live Holy lives? Or are they very carnal earthly worldly ppl who turn church on for one hr a day once a week? Do they preach a Full Gospel or do they discount many New Testament scruptures on healing, miracles, and much more ?I'm being honest and asking you these questions not accusing with only predetermined opinions ?
Thank you sir for giving me light …God has lead me to you for guidance..
I was raised Lutheran and never knew the connection of Calvinism. But for sure you are right. Per the words of the Bible. God has certainly used you as a light for those of us in the dark…thank you!!

I am not a Calvinist but my understanding is that because of original sin we are, as the Bible says, born in sin …… A baby doesn’t sin but has a nature that will reveal itself as the child matures. You don’t have to teach a child how to lie. We are born with a fallen nature hence ‘You must be born again’ The new life in Christ is our Redemption, our entrance to God’s Kingdom, spotless and without blemish. We are washed, made clean from Sin (our nature that we are born with) though the completed work of Christ on the Cross when we repent (turn from our sin) and receive Jesus as our Savior.
*God Is Good All The Time, But Man, Who He Granted Free Will, Does Evil By Choice, It Is Not Of God...*
Amen
It's not free will, it's the will in bondage to sin; that is, as far as the natural man's will is "free", it is free only to act without love for God.
I love you, Michael & Debbi Pearl, family, and ministry! My theology isn’t exactly like yours, I am sure mine is off somewhere and I will find out one day (see through a glass but dimly) but your ministry taught me about sanctification and turned my life around! God bless you all!
Pastor Pearl, I listen all you videos every time I see them on mi lost on youtb. Let me tell you, I learn a lot every time. God bless you !!
Glad your back home brother
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the anabaptists (Balthasar Hubmaier for example) were calvinists. I think I've seen them classified as a part of the "radical reformation."
They preexisted the Reformation
IF you were "baptized" as an infant / small child, you were dedicated at-best.
I would suggest, as an adult, you now get baptized, (if you believe the Gospel).
Michael Pearl can you get a hold of Matt slick he's on 106.5. The truth Network Monday through Friday at 6:00 p.m. Eastern he's a calvinist and he really needs to hear this message
Giving all the glory to God is not hard for a man born of God.
sola de you’re missing the forest for perceived decrees. Choose wisely.
Every day I get more and more discouraged. ‘This is right, not it’s not, it’s heresy. This is what’s really right. Not, that’s not right either and you’re going to hell. ‘ I can’t find a shepherd in my town because I don’t know what in the heck is right! I’m overwhelmed and want to give up! If God wants us so badly, why is it so difficult to follow him? After several years of seeking out and listening to different pastors, doing years of Bible studying (of which I have no real clue how to do it and find myself either confused or bored to tears by the begats and rabbit holes just reading the Bible takes you on - as each line requires study into the time period, the audience and meanings of practically each word being used), I’m more confused than ever. I don’t believe I stand a chance of making it to eternity with God. As I see it, it seems absolutely impossible. I’m hurting, lost, angry, defeated and most likely hell bound. The thought of thinking I’ve done everything Biblical to get to spend eternity with my precious Savior only to read that I could be told to depart from Him because He never knew me? I mean seriously? What is the answer? If you don’t trust God enough to KNOW you’re going to Heaven, that fact alone kicks you out! I mean, what?!?! Does anyone really know anything?
This is very misleading. Many of the prominent Calvanists of today believe children go to heaven, John Macarthur even wrote a book about it.
RC Sproul, Washer, Spurgeon, Macarthur etc all affirm infants as being saved, using David's baby boy he had with Baishaba that died as their primary example.
You should know this, you claim to do due diligence but on the part of calvanism (silly term, reformed is the correct term), you misrepresent it.
In the examples you showed here, the authors are saying the baby is a human and therefore a sinner with a sin nature, not that babies go to hell when they die.
Let's say they did mean that, that's not what modern reformers believe is it?.... I don't know , have never heard it said or ever read a single book or article from any calvanist that would agree with you here. Try to find one?...just ONE!? You will not find a single one.
Reformers are huge on the Bible, the Bible clearly teaches two things, that man is a sinner, and that babies go to the Lord, not to hell.
This video appears to be thorough but is very sloppy!!! Go and engage with reformed theology advocates, read their books etc, stop strawmanning the position as a whole by digging up and cherry picking out of context writings from centuries ago, or fringe ideas that don't represent the theology as a whole.
I heard a staunch, anti-calvinist, free-willer say that babies born from unsaved mother's go to hell. He feared for the unborn being aborted. It was a Calvinist that corrected that thinking for me.
I am around many Reformed believers (with the exception of one) that believe all babies go to heaven.
I like a lot of Pearle’s teachings. I think this anti Calvinist stems from his time at false teacher school where they beat this stuff into him.
You have to humble yourself before the Word of God and just believe what it says. If you do that it’s clear God does the choosing.
@phillipgoodson2057 100% agree with.
I love brother Michael, but you're right in that he has a bee in his bonnet about it for reasons I think even he hasn't realised or admitted to himself.
Every video he does on reformed theology is somehow wrong or exaggerated in someway, and he's not usually this sloppy.
I think he struggles with the concept of it as a whole. Quote mining people that identified as "calvanists" (I really don't like that term), isn't an honest way to assess the view.
I'll stick with God who IS love.
Psa 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
2Pet 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
WE ALL NEED OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST,…………AMEN TO THAT ❤
Calvinism puts Satan out of work!
As a calvinist how do you know that you're chosen? How do you know that you are the one that God has picked to be saved? Does he contact you in some way and sayes yes you're one of the good ones. I've always wondered that how does a person know if it's not by Christ's sacrifice and the shedding of his blood how else would you know that you're saved?
You know you are saved when you mourn over your sin .
All you have to do is believe Jesus died for you on the cross and he saved you from your sin! Believe in God that he is Lord Jesus Christ!!! Confess your sins and then turn away from your sins! And you are saved! That’s all!

Yet, knowing all things that would come to pass because of it, including every child that would be abused in the future, he forebore righteous justice anyway and allowed them and their sinful progeny to live. God is not the author of evil but by his perfect plan he is allowing evil to persist in the world until the end of the age. Whether you like it or understand it, God uses all things for his glory, both the good and the bad.
“And what if God, wanting to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath having been prepared for destruction, and in order that He might make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory-”
Romans 9:22-23
That verse means exactly what it says. It’s not Calvinism, it’s the true word of God. All men are wicked but God chooses to make some righteous.
Amen!
Works, works, works, denying the Lord that bought them.
I think that one of the greatest insults to God? Is to take The Preaching Of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery of the Gospel, and attribute it to John Calvin or any man! This is The Revelation of Christ unto His Church, His Body, which He hath purchased with His Own Blood!
Free will vs God's sovereignity has been debated for 1700 years. Forgive me for doubting that you have resolved the issue.
THANKS FO R POSTING against the Calvinist doctrine. I've never been a Calvinist. The only thing I knew was the old joke that John Calvin fell down the stairs on the way to breakfast, got up and said "I'm glad that's over".
After experiencing a personal tragedy I had an old friend call to offer comfort. He said "at least you can know this is God's best for you today"🤯🤦🏻♂ He's become a Calvinist. I began my study.. I knew it was nonsense but it took some time to properly frame their misuse of scripture and their proof texts back into proper context. The level of cognitive dissonance necessary to maintain the Calvinist positions is mind-numbing. Evidently they are impervious to it. I would encourage you to spend more time addressing it. This theology has exploded among many young Christians who are sorely in need of truth and answers to the polished arguments Calvinists bring to ensnare the unprepared.
What specifically do you disagree with Calvinism on? I'm not necessarily a Calvinist, but I am not an Arminian either. I am simply a man who has read scripture and discerned from it what the text says.
All I know is that my salvation was predestined before the foundations of the world, and man can not come before Christ unless the Father draws him ( John 6:44 ). Man is spiritually dead and it is God who awakens him ( Ephesians 2:1 ) because men love darkness rather than light ( John 3:19 ) and will choose darkness over light 11 times out of 10.

John Wesley and Charles Finney fought this same fight 200 years or so ago and both saw revival! God Bless all
Nice fruit of these revivals... NOT. They were serving the devil and filled the churches with tares
I've been watching "The Door" for a few years now and I always enjoyed it, however this episode he runs into the same problem with all Armenians in that he doesn't understand what he's talking about and thus he can't explain it much less argue against it. It would be like asking a Ford salesman why you should by a Chevy. I am convinced by the doctrines of grace (calvinist), however i agree that most of what he's describing is heresy (because he's not describing calvinism). It just seems silly only listening to one side of the argument (and the side he didn't believe). Look up what other calvinists said about calvinism, (Spurgeon, Warfield, Whitfield, Sproul, Begg, Baucham, and many more). Study your Bible, and ask the author of scripture (God) to help you understand, God is faithful and he will show you the way. I'm not here to argue, I'm here to offer clarity, perspective, and hopefully bring unity to the brethren.
Great point. He presented a straw-man argument that's much easier to attack.
"Predestination" is a Bible Word. "Hell" is also a Bible Word. Many people refuse to believe the Bible regarding these Words.
Predestination is not a Bible word.
.
But Predestined is.
.
It's used once here:
.
***Romans 8:29
For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
.
.
They were not predestined to do God's will.
.
They were predestined to be saved, because they were willing to do God's will.
.
They didn't seek their own understanding, but truth.
Yet there are many other words in the bible too, and those words and the arrangement thereof create meaning, and it is the meaning created by the words in their order, divinely inspired, that matter!
@@rouleauxvanzyl2834 I think the condition you are creating here is not always true. Some words stand alone, such as "believe" and "hell." People are always looking for reasons to excuse their own lies.
@@jls0037cslewis1 I don't think I understand what you mean... Context matters. Always. In which scenario would context be irrelevant?
"Believe" is a word in the bible, yes, but without context it does not mean much. Believe in what? What the world tells you?
"Murder" is also a word in the bible... So is "idolatry" and curse... Does that mean we can look at these isolated words and then draw our own conclusion of their meaning. Just because the word is there, does it mean God condones these things?...
It is exactly the problem - when people start taking words, phrases and verses out of their context to make them mean whatever you want them to. This causes confusion, bible illiteracy and opens the door to all kinds of false doctrines "supported" by verses taken out of context.
@@rouleauxvanzyl2834 words have meanings. Let's not be sophists.
Lutheranism and Calvinism is so much like Islam. There must be a connection there someplace.
I was thinking the exact same thing
You're right brother . The claims of calvinism corruptly portray GOD and HIS righteousness which is blasphemy by definition. Mannichean gnostics advocated for tge same doctrinal distinctives that we see in the calvinist paradigm today . One can easily see this in the debates between the mannicheans and the early church. Thank you brother.
GOD bless you
The author of this video pretends that all these doctrines are made up and not in the Bible. It’s hard to go more than a few chapters in the Bible without being told that God was responsible for something that also involves free choices of men like winning a battle that the Israelites actually fought or God hardening someones heart or Satan having to get permission from God to do anything to Job or God using Assyria to punish Israel and also judging them for doing so or how God meant the enslavement for Joseph for good while the brothers meant it for evil.
Jesus was God’s plan A promised back in Genesis 3. Not something that he figured out after something that was decided as a result of Judas’ betrayal thousands of years later.
Original sin is also clearly taught by Paul. Adam was our representative and we ratify his choice very day when we sin. However, infant baptism is not proposed as a solution in the Bible. Jesus is the solution.
The sovereign predetermination of God and Man’s free will are everywhere in the Bible. We are invited to reconcile the two, not deny one of those truths to favor the other.
Thank you for this video. It truly clears things up.
Thank you Mike, this was a blessing, for I didn't realize it was the Presbyterians that were Calvinist ,I thought it was Methodists (Im a poor old mtn boy).
...I'ma send this too my son who's been through Presbyterian seminary...I hope it changes his walk with Christ. (It was his mother's family that were big in that church had him sent there...our family was Baptist and now Church of God ...)
I don't see the difference between predestination and fate when viewed from an eternal lense.
I believe we have a small amount free will, but that our eternal fate is predestined and any major apex points in our lives are predestined.
For instance, my wife had a nde from a failed suicide attempt. When I was resuscitating her, she was began tearing up saying "take me with you". Then the Lord spoke through her as to let me hear. He said "no, I saved you for him in highschool".
My wife, still unconscious, began weeping.
When she woke up, she didn't remember any of this.
Anyway, she had a failed suicide attempt in highschool as well. This was 3-4 years before met her.
The Lord predestined that we meet amd marry and have children. I thought I was acting autonomously, but I clearly was not with regards to meeting my wife.
Lord thank you.
The truth is something in the middle of Calvinism and Arminianism.
Great video brother!
The truth is Calvinism. Read Ephesians 1, Romans 1 and John 6 carefully. The issue comes down to the fact that we are all completely corrupt due to our federal representative's sin (Adam). We in our sinful state hate God. The problem with Armininianism, or the middle road as you alude to (also called Semi-pelagianism) is they claim God cannot violate Man's free will. But if this is the case, all are doomed because the scripture is clear that none is righteous, and the heart is unfathomably wicked "who can know it?". Consequently God must radically change our will so that we desire God (born again). Our natural will is to live Sin, God must violate our free will which is in bondage to sin. In the same way good parents must violate their childrens free will. Look how all 3 years olds are commited to sin and parents must restrain them and limmit their ability to act on their sinful desires. Adults are really no different than 3 year olds in this respect, and we in our sinful state crave sin, and are only restrained in our passions due to consequences and or extensive corrective training in childhood. However, our minds remain corrupt with out God's radical intervention.
The doctrines commonly referred to as the “5 points of Calvinism” ARE Biblically supported. When one takes into account the TOTALITY of Scripture and reads it in the appropriate Biblical CONTEXT one will see that they ARE biblically supported, as is the doctrine of original sin. I mention the doctrine of original sin because it’s imperative to understand that in order to truly understand some of “Calvinism”.
Let’s look at the Doctrine of Election/ Predestination….. Scripture is LITTERED with examples of God choosing and not choosing people. Some to Salvation, and sadly others to destruction. EVERY SINGLE one chosen for destruction was deserving of it. That is why the doctrine of original sin is so important to understand and keep mind. God remained HOLY and JUST in His Judgements ever second of every minute of it.
Have you never read the Old Testament? There are MANY examples of God choosing some and executing Judgement on others. Some of them to destruction were women and children. We can also rightfully assume that some of them were pregnant women carrying children yet to be born. Is that a hard pill to swallow? YES!!! It absolutely is. But again, He is God and we are NOT! We won’t and can’t understand it all as He does. We need to humble ourselves and remember that God is Sovereign and His ways are ALWAYS appropriate and Just. They are also higher than our ways. How dare we try to impose our feelings, our will, or our “understanding” upon Him.
“For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.”
Romans 9:15-16
The Bible literally says “predestinated” and also speaks of being “elected” or of “the elect”. When read in the correct Biblical context it means just that.
“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.”
Romans 8:29-30, 33
“having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Ephesians 1:5
in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:”
Ephesians 1:11
Jesus also said….
“No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
John 6:44
Jesus was absolutely clear, you must be “drawn” by God to be saved. Even your “decision” to believe is work of God Himself. And yes, this verse means exactly what it says.
Also,
“John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.”
John 3:27
Also,
“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.”
Matthew 16:17
Again Jesus said,
“And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.”
Luke 8:10
Also
“I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.”
John 17:6
“And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.”
John 17:11
“While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.”
John 17:12
**Them that thou gravest me**
I would point you to the following passage. Ask yourself, who are you and I (the clay) to say to God (“The Potter” in this passage) “Why hast thou made me thus”? 👇
“Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?”
Romans 9:18-21
God made one “for honor” and one “for dishonor”
I know that might make some people uncomfortable, but it’s what Scripture says. Be thankful and find comfort in being chosen! 🙂
“Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, That he may dwell in thy courts: We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.”
Psalm 65:4
** whom Thou choosest** and **causest to approach unto thee**
Also,
“For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Jude 1:4
“who were BEFORE OF OLD ORDAINED TO THIS CONDEMNATION”….. I don’t know how else you interpret this passage other than that some were in essence “marked” FOR condemnation.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of passages supporting the doctrine, but it’s enough to make the case that it IS biblically supported.
Lastly,
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
2 Corinthians 4:3-4
Note: This passage says that the “god” of this world (referring to Satan) has blinded the minds of them that believe not. In other words, Satan has caused them the be spiritually blinded so that they don’t believe the gospel.
Scripture is clear that Satan is more powerful than any mortal human being. This logic dictates that only an act of God can remove the spiritual blinders on a person, thus allowing them to believe the gospel. This understanding of Scripture would then make perfect sense when comparing it to John 6:44 when Jesus says that no one can come to Him unless The Father draws him.
Remember…..
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-9
As to your other points, you need to remember to read specific passages from the Bible in their proper context and to take into account proper dispensational considerations and the totality of Scripture.
The whole doctrine of Calvinism has troubled me for a long time. Almost all the people I fellowship with are calvinists. How do you think I should handle this?
Thanks for this message. Very helpful.

Invite them to channels like Soteriology101, which primarily deals with this topic. Mike Winger also has some great in-depth teachings on why Calvinism isn't biblical.
Why don't you sit down with them and ask then why they believe what they believe and then use the scripture to try and dispute it
it's about as simple as the context of what was predestinated from the foundation of the world. Jesus being the method of salvation is what was predestinated. But you'll never convince someone who is invested in their theological understanding of the passage if they don't want to be convinced.
It's like their assertion of Christ saying that no one can come unto him unless the father draws them.
They have to completely disregard the latter statement of "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, shall draw all men unto me ".
They have a fundamental lack of recognition of the difference between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God.
They fail to recognize that Jesus, in the first statement, was speaking to Jews who were seeking discipleship in His ministry before Calvary. The second statement is Jesus giving prophecy of how salvation will be offered to all after Calvary.
Calvinists lack dispensation in scripture. They apply everything written to themselves and come up with heresy as a result.
They are into lordship salvation and replacement theology, even though Jesus, Peter, James, Paul and John, all indicated otherwise.
It's like a Catholic believing that Jesus called Peter the Rock. You'll never convince them that they're wrong, even though Jesus called Peter Satan in the very same chapter.
Jesus gave Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Either the Pope doesn't understand that the church isn't the kingdom of heaven or he fully understands and just doesn't care. Which do you think it is?
@@JP-ec9rlYep spot on explanation. They do not utilize 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV and it leads them to heresy. Calvinism is so synonymous with the other cults that apply Scripture erroneously to themselves and I am astonished at how blinded they are to it. Many genuinely teach the right Gospel but are so confused with everything else.
@@flman9684 yep and you can't even get the proper meaning of
2 Timothy 2 15 if you read it from any other English Bible other than the KJV.
Good video cutting to the core of a false doctrine.
After literally months and months of studying Calvinism I have come to the conclusion that their view of the character of Christ is entirely different than mainstream Christianity.
In my wildest dreams I never knew after serving the Lord for over 38 years that there was a group of people out there claiming to be Christians who literally believe that man can choose anything except Jesus, that Jesus does not love everyone (salvation love), that Jesus did not die for everyone, and that God does not want everyone saved.
Can someone PLEASE explain how these people are truly brothers and sisters in Christ since their view of Christ is so contrary to clear biblical teaching? I just cannot wrap my brain around this.
11:15 your wit has me in stiches. Thanks for this lesson in what Calvinism is.
Calvinism is from the pit; yet otherwise sound teachers hold to it with more zeal than they do to Jesus. For many, it's an idol they just cannot let go of and all Scripture must conform to its precepts.
I think your doctrine is from the pit.
Another ripper Michael. God bless
Had many great conversations with Calvinists throughout my Christian education. It always seemed to me that their views had all the hallmarks of Christian heresy.
"all the hallmarks of Christian heresy"...could you elaborate?
Like denial of the Trinity? Pelagianism? Denial of the virgin birth? I don’t think you know what you are saying, or know Christian Orthodoxy.

Live it!! Let the Word do the work!
They are excellent books. Another devastating book is " The Other Side of John Calvin" study no. 6 from head to heart by missionary ( retired now in his 90s) Henry R Pike ( Randy). It really shows what kind of man Calvin was and his deeds from the city council of Genevas records etc . Colin John aussie.
Whatever faults you may find with Calvin's life, it is the doctrines of Sovereign Grace that are named after him, yet espoused by all the Reformers.
You cannot discuss this without addressing the numerous clear scriptures which speak about predestination. Folks argue if God is picking some to be saved and rejecting others He isn't being fair. They fail to comprehend that God is truly sovereign Lord of everything, every atom in the universe. He owes no man anything.
If I was in a group of 20 random people and a man came into the group and gave 5 people $100 each, but nothing to the others is the man being "fair"? Would I have a right to declare he wasn't fair because I wasn't one of the 5? No, because he owed me nothing. God grants grace to the whole world, yet many are called and few chosen. Quit trying to bring judgement against God. He can do, He does and will do exactly as He has purposed and doesn't need your agreement or permission. This is where anti-Calvinists miss it.
I don't honestly understand how this is so difficult. It really is necessary to have every single quote only read in context to what the author was talking about.
I get this you don't. Let me try to help you.
Gods perfect knowledge of future events ( since he is timeless) must mean that those events will come to pass. That includes evil. God has, in his great and holy decree, determined it will happen. But God cannot be and is not ever culpable for that evil.
God has determined that evil exist and since God is incapable of evil and only good, then the decision to allow it must be good. Since his purpose in his creating all things is his glory and not ours, then all his decisions must bring glory to him.
God does not hate babies. I would like to see the context of that quote. I would be quite sure it would have been in context to our sinful nature and of coarse, in that discussion, we know that God hates sin and the bible says all who commit sin.
Non calvinists are so appalled when the God of the Bible is explained clearly. He does and will punish sin and evil so his hatred for those things is real. I read a quote from a secular professor doing research on different Christian views. His comment was very interesting.
" Calvinists are the only Christians who read the book of Job in the Bible and actually believe it" When you do read it, and I think you should, make sure you see how satan has to ask God for the permission to commit evil against Job, prior to doing so.
I am very confident that the thousands of theologians who have poured over the scriptures for the centuries have discussed and written about all these things. The only reason you and I have a protestant faith today is the reformers. were they perfect, of coarse not. But God used them to return us to a biblical model of the church.
Calvinism doesn't insult my intelligence.
Calavinists: "God is sovereign in all things, including salvation."
Anti-Calvinists: "That is an insult to God. How DARE you think God is sovereign in ALL things. That's crazy." Of course, this is said after gaslighting, straw man arguments, and PURPOSELY misrepresenting Calvinist viewpoints. Which is akin to lying.
While his comments regarding the statements of Augustine and possibly Luther may be justified, his judgement of Calvins statement around 10:30, is a strawman. Calvin is not calling infants odious, but the seed of sin within. The fact that Pearl is mocking (resorting to yet another fallacy) the doctrine of original sin, leads me to believe that he agrees with Pelagianism, which the church has always held as heresy.
Michael Pearl, if you want to make a convincing case, stop erecting strawmen, attacking the person himself, and engaging in other such fallacy attacks, by which only simple minded are persuaded. Instead, argue on the merits of the argument, using the word of God (and not cherry picking as you do in the next video). As it is, methinks you don't have any such valid arguments to make, so you continue to resort to such deceptive tactics. Such tactics are nothing but manipulation, which is witchcraft.
Bravo Michael. Well done. Few would dare call Calvinism heresy despite it being a theological system with roots in Augustine's gnostic interpretation of the scriptures.
Those who have been persuaded by Calvin's severe logic have had their understanding of the plain reading of the text changed. It is reminiscent of the Gen 3 account.
Satan gets you to doubt the plain reading of the text which leads to unbelief. He then offers the alternative rendering of the text- what God "really meant". Tampering with the Word.
I think it is a concern that Calvinism/ Reformed Theology is silently spreading through the denominations. It's subtle. You need to know their phrases. I have never felt confident debating what I believe are the flawed scriptural interpretations of Calvinism. It's like witnessing to someone in a cult. They have their verses and rely upon Calvin's logical progression to wear you down. I'd rather suggest they read Dave Hunt who wrote "What Love is This? Calvin's Misrepresentation of God's Love".
I asked God "Are Calvinists saved?" I got
"You shall know them by their fruit".
Check out the lives of Augustine,
Luther and Calvin and you can see for yourself what spirit they are of.
It's great that Michael has decided to speak about this.
Calvinism is heresy, meditate on Galatians 1:6-10.
You sir are anit-german and God is the one who picks.
You are correct!
God is the one who picks.
.
He picks those who choose to do His will.
So God the Father, in his perfect justice, found it necessary to CRUSH His own divine, sinless, Lamb Without Spot Son under His own WRATH as a propitiation for OUR sins but somehow every sinner’s baby is in no need of redemption just because it is a baby? Do you hear yourself?
Christianity Light like yours is the reason the West is lukewarm cesspool in which there is no fear of God anymore.
I really appreciate your work...raised Baptist I see a lot of friends confused thinking they are Calvinism because of eternal security and predistanation...I do believe in eternal security..but believe all are predestined if they receive Jesus.. whosoever will ..none is without excuse..please help where Calvinism confuses us.they seem to just go real far..too far to explain.making it too complicated for average person to understand..that itself is a sin..getting away from the simplicity of Christ..I have a college degree and can't get past one paragraph trying to understand Calvinism.it speaks only to the intellectual or decievers the too simple ..help please where they confuse us and draw us in with eternal security and presentation because they are both biblical doctrine..
Calvinists have abused Romans 7-9 , Ephesians 1 and John 6 for far to long , their entire system has such a shallow view of God
How have they been abused? What does John 6 teach? What and who was it speaking in john 6?

That's how John 6 is being abused.

@@phillipgoodson2057 your flesh is still the devil's child.
Otherwise God wouldn't be killing it.

Let's not conflate that paradigm with Him choosing who would and wouldn't believe in Jesus.
You are blending dispensations and trying to apply the entire happenings of the Old testament to yourself and then using that as an excuse to try and project an imaginary hatred of scriptures onto my account.
I just have to shake my head over that one.
"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!" Romans 11:33

Oh Horrible Decree
by Charles Wesley
Ah! Gentle, gracious Dove,
And art thou grieved in me,
That sinners should restrain thy love,
And say, “It is not free:
It is not free for all:
The most, thou passest by,
And mockest with a fruitless call
Whom thou hast doomed to die.”
They think thee not sincere
In giving each his day,
“ Thou only draw’st the sinner near
To cast him quite away,
To aggravate his sin,
His sure damnation seal:
Thou show’st him heaven, and say’st, go in
And thrusts him into hell.”
O HORRIBLE DECREE
Worthy of whence it came!
Forgive their hellish blasphemy
Who charge it on the Lamb:
Whose pity him inclined
To leave his throne above,
The friend, and Saviour of mankind,
The God of grace, and love.
O gracious, loving Lord,
I feel thy bowels yearn;
For those who slight the gospel word
I share in thy concern:
How art thou grieved to be
By ransomed worms withstood!
How dost thou bleed afresh to see
Them trample on thy blood!
To limit thee they dare,
Blaspheme thee to thy face,
Deny their fellow-worms a share
In thy redeeming grace:
All for their own they take,
Thy righteousness engross,
Of none effect to most they make
The merits of thy cross.
Sinners, abhor the fiend:
His other gospel hear-
“The God of truth did not intend
The thing his words declare,
He offers grace to all,
Which most cannot embrace,
Mocked with an ineffectual call
And insufficient grace.
“The righteous God consigned
Them over to their doom,
And sent the Saviour of mankind
To damn them from the womb;
To damn for falling short,
“Of what they could not do,
For not believing the report
Of that which was not true.
“The God of love passed by
The most of those that fell,
Ordained poor reprobates to die,
And forced them into hell.”
“He did not do the deed”
(Some have more mildly raved)
“He did not damn them-but decreed
They never should be saved.
“He did not them bereave
Of life, or stop their breath,
His grace he only would not give,
And starved their souls to death.”
Satanic sophistry!
But still, all-gracious God,
They charge the sinner’s death on thee,
Who bought’st him with thy blood.
They think with shrieks and cries
To please the Lord of hosts,
And offer thee, in sacrifice
Millions of slaughtered ghosts:
With newborn babes they fill
The dire infernal shade,
“For such,” they say, “was thy great will,
Before the world was made.”
How long, O God, how long
Shall Satan’s rage proceed!
Wilt thou not soon avenge the wrong,
And crush the serpent’s head?
Surely thou shalt at last
Bruise him beneath our feet:
The devil and his doctrine cast
Into the burning pit.
Arise, O God, arise,
Thy glorious truth maintain,
Hold forth the bloody sacrifice,
For every sinner slain!
Defend thy mercy’s cause,
Thy grace divinely free,
Lift up the standard of thy cross,
Draw all men unto thee.
O vindicate thy grace,
Which every soul may prove,
Us in thy arms of love embrace,
Of everlasting love.
Give the pure gospel word,
Thy preachers multiply,
Let all confess their common Lord,
And dare for him to die.
My life I here present,
My heart’s last drop of blood,
O let it all be freely spent
In proof that thou art good,
Art good to all that breathe,
Who all may pardon have:
Thou willest not the sinner’s death,
But all the world wouldst save.
O take me at my word,
But arm me with thy power,
Then call me forth to suffer, Lord,
To meet the fiery hour:
In death will I proclaim
That all may hear thy call,
And clap my hands amidst the flame,
And shout, - HE DIED FOR ALL!
A big point of confusion to keep in mind is that Calvinism has a different (and erroneous) definition of "Divine Sovereignty."
To the Bible-believer, "Divine Sovereignty" means that God has the Supreme authority and Omnipotent ability to do as he pleases.
To a Calvinist, Divine Sovereignty means Theistic Determinism, i.e. that "God, from eternity past, decreed all things whatsoever come to pass" per the Westminister Confession.
Big difference. The first says God is "highest royalty," the second says God is "fatalism."
Because we are all sinners, we should all die, that would be fatalism. But God in His mercy chooses to save some, so it is not fatalism, it is salvation and God is the one who determines who He will save. He gets to do that because He is "God", and He does have Divine Sovereignty.
9:06 “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”
Isaiah 45:7
I don’t believe Calvin had it 100% right, but there is a lot of scripture that seems to support a great bit of what he taught. The divine providence of God and His holy sovereignty shows us that our limited, and often self-centered views on life miss the mark of true doctrine. How can I reconcile that God is holy, sovereign, and by secondary cause, the creator of evil as this passage from Isaiah states?
I guess it comes down to whether you believe God is sovereign or man is sovereign.
How one defines sovereign. You can do
much better if you’re willing .
nice job, you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free, Thanks
16:03 makes no sense that GOD would condemn me for something that is not my fault
Great video & presentation… the only thing Roman Catholic Calvinism has accomplished in some 600 yrs is to have Christian’s @ each other,throats… w/ no end in sight… & that’s the ugly & ungodly shame of it… all❤
I totally agree with the thesis in this video. Having said that, I think it’s unfortunate that it was a very “low brow“ theological presentation. Very few (three that I counted) scriptures used.
Pastor would you consider the calvanist a brother/sister in Christ. I admit I was finding it difficult because of their Tulip but I believe many are saved despite the Tulip because they hold strong to grace by faith alone in Jesus for their salvation.
Anyone know why YouVersion and Bible Memory app are using Norse Rune “ash/ae” symbol that is used for casting spells on their app?
This stuff is tied to Musk/Grimes/technocrats I’m afraid.
Below are what I find so far. I have a feeling the Pilate/Herod sudden friendship has much more sinister meaning…
Luke 13- “Galilaeian” around the subject of mingled blood in sacrifices
Luke 23- “Caesar” is using the same ancient rune “ae” connected style.
This is wild… and concerning
You are nuts
4:57 no sir, Augustine got that from the Catholic Church not the other way around. The Bible very clearly teaches baptism is the new circumcision Colossians 2:11-12. A baby was to be circumcised at 8 days old according to Genesis 17:10-14. This is why we baptize babies at 8 days old.
That was fantastic, thanks
No it shows Gods majesty and sovereignty
Thank you so much for this overwiew. Calvinism is really insulting The Word of God, just one ex.: John 3:16 because Jesus Christ would have died and resurrected just for some elected, and that is not what this verse is saying.You, and i and everyone who believes, born again, are "whosoever"❤
I pray that when anyone reads The Bible or sees anything happening around them and says "why would God"; that they do not create their own God to suit their own experiences and/or fleshly desires which is contrary to what is already clearly written and by so doing rebel against God but rather seek God through Jesus Christ. He is the door. If you want to know the truth seek Jesus for he says that he himself is The Truth. 1 Corinthians 3:19: For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness (KJV).
Calvinists literally follow a preist that had another priest burned at the steak for heresy. There is something inherently wrong with that. A supposed man of God intentionally murdered another man of God with opposing views. Sounds like Catholicism to me. God would not have us killing each other over disagreements. Calvin is not a guy that I would follow. Read the Bible for yourself and let the Holy Spirit interpret it for you.
My church pastor loves Luther and St Augastine and he doesn't say anything you're talking about.
How did you come to salvation? Was it out of your fallen will that comes from birth? God does all of the work we just accept it. If we can't save ourselves we cannot keep ourselves.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the problem here is that we seem to have a supporter of the universally recognized heretic Pelagius!
Funny, how you say “these men invented”. When they just read the Bible and taught it. Nitpicking quotes or sentences is not convincing. It just shows that you have no argument, just bias opinions. And did you read the Old Testament??? Did you not read how much “harm” God predetermined on the Jews?? And it’s not harm like you claim it, it’s god’s sovereign plan!
Dude this guy is opinionated and not scriptural.
Amen!
What is monergism vs synergism?
Monergism states that the regeneration of an individual is the work of God through the Holy Spirit alone, as opposed to Synergism, which, in its simplest
form, argues that the human will cooperates with God's grace in order to be regenerated.
At 11;30, I suspect the pleasure they get out of Calvinism is that they feel they are somehow superior humans, being chosen/predestined, etc.
No, just the opposite. We can’t fathom why God chose to love us, vile worms and wretches that we are. The key is to realize that nothing about us merits God’s mercy, we only merit his wrath. That is what “by grace alone” means.

Why does the god of Arminianism create billions of people that He foreknows will never freely choose Him? Same result. Therefore, you have unwittingly condemned yourself.
Thank you. This is a greatly useful area of study. Looking forward to the follow ups.
