DOES Mankind Have Free Will?
ALL men have sinned against our God. The difference? The difference between Cain and Abel, David and Saul, Peter and Judas, was that one chose to repent and the other refused. Every one of them had the call of God and ability to turn back to Him. Selah. Whose example shall we follow?
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13
There are 2 types of people in the earth, namely, professing Christians:
- The un-accountable and dishonest who deceitfully seek to cover their sins using deceitfully crafted, sin-justifying, grace-perverting, un-biblical systems of theology, and
- Those who hold themselves accountable to the LORD and face God honestly, taking full responsibility for and confessing their sin freely to Him in true repentance, transparency, the daily cross, in light of the judgment to come.
Make no mistake, 1. above is for the calvinist
God gives every man the choice to deny Him and go to hell or to repent and obey Him and go to Heaven (Deuteronomy 30:19).
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” Deuteronomy 30:19
“Choose you this day whom ye will serve.” Joshua 24:15
“Everything from God is a choice… everything from the devil is an addiction. Choose this day who you will serve. Lord help us all to make the right choice.” Stanley Dreyer
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death FOR EVERY MAN.” Hebrews 2:9
“if we deny him, he also will deny us.” 2 Timothy 2:12
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” John 1:12
If the LORD warned us: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7-8) How is it then that man has no choice, no ability to exercise his own God-given personal will to sow good or bad seed, to make decisions, to choose God or reject Him?
Of this subject, one disciples writes:
“God created Satan with foreknowledge that he would freewill rebel and turn into evil. In this sense God created evil.
God created humanity with that same foreknowledge, that they would follow Satan and also turn to evil. This is because God loves all His creatures and gives them all free will. He could not create Christ-like robots and still have a love affair with them. He does not coerce or threaten violence against those who choose decisions for evil. He wants to have a divine romance with his creatures and refuses to control their minds. There is no romance possible with robots.
He also had foreknowledge of the way He would redeem humanity if they will make a freewill choice to believe into Christ and come into union with Him (Romans 6:5).”

“I am a Monergist. Monergism teaches that salvation is the work of God alone. When the Holy Spirit regenerates and saves a person, He does so independent of any cooperation from a person’s unregenerate human nature. Thus, God receives all the glory and credit for a person’s salvation.
By contrast, Synergism asserts salvation requires cooperation between God and the individual. There are various views within Synergism with respect to how much God must do before a person responds to the gospel, but the overall belief is that an individual can resist God’s call to salvation and, in effect, has the final say over his eternal destiny.”
REPLY:
You can call this any gism or ism you want, this is pure calvinism – an antichrist, extra-biblical system of theology that grossly perverts the original Gospel of Christ and nature and character of God. Not only is this a heresy due to contradicting what Scripture clearly teaches, it’s laughable and also defies common sense.
If Free Will is True (and it is), Calvinism is Patently False (and it is)
Think about it: How in the world did Adam sin if he had no will, no choice in the matter? Case closed. Jesus, the second Adam (Romans 5), also had a will to exercise, otherwise He would never have said “Not MY WILL but thine be done.” (Luke 22:42). Clearly, the Son of man had a “will” – a choice. “CHOOSE you this day whom you will serve.” (Joshua 24:15) Calvinism is a diabolical cult.
The LORD makes a crystal clear distinction between Himself, the one true God, and the idolatrous worship of all false gods, which are of Satan (1 Corinthians 10:19-21).
“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, CHOOSE you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” Deuteronomy 30:19
Can’t blame God for the wrong choice man made in the Garden that caused the fall of mankind, nor for the bad choices that mere men have made since then. Here’s how the LORD says things go down:
“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 BUT every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” James 1:13-15
Here the LORD blames men for their sin, not Himself. Any person who is espousing a theology that blames God instead of sinful men, is under the power of “the spirit of antichrist.” (1 John 4:1-3)
“Calvinism comes from Gnostic, Greek philosophy that Augustine learned and mixed in with Christianity.” unknown (Calvin repeatedly admitted that he got his doctrines from Augustine.) Augustine was a catholic
John Calvin admittedly revealed that he was getting his doctrines from the Catholic Augustine (a total fraud). All of Catholicism, from its very inception, was Antichrist. Therefore anything coming out of it is cursed. It is a cursed tree which cannot bear good fruit.
It’s the lazy, rebellious moral coward who migrates to the diabolical doctrines of calvinism. After all, if he has no will (no free will) then God is guilty of any sin he commits because, after all, he has no personal accountability, right? Not.
Calvinism is an extra-biblical system of theology which blatantly contradicts clear, known Scripture. 1 John 2:2 alone exposes calvinism as a doctrinal system of devils.
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
A calvinist (heretic) laughably just told me that “free will is a new concept”.
REPLY:
Free will is ancient you vile heretic: “CHOOSE you this day whom ye will serve.” (Joshua 24:15) The book of Joshua was written appr. 3,500 years ago.
God SOVEREIGNLY gave man free will:
“For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against MY WILL, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.” 1 Corinthians 9:17
Calvinism teaches that you have no will, you are a robot and so cannot obey what God commanded you to do – repent. Calvinism is a diabolical system of blasphemy that contradicts and impugns the LORD on every front. Repent is the first command of the original Gospel, is essential to salvation, and is the duty of “all men everywhere” (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Luke 13:3; 24:47; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30, etc.). The Almighty would never command men to do something they don’t have the will and privilege and ability to do. “but now commandeth all men every where to repent:” (Acts 17:30)
WHEN you hear someone use the terminology “sovereign grace” you know you are dealing with a deceived calvinist who has bought into a false gospel that intentionally over-emphasizes grace while ignoring divine holiness and justice and the God-given conditions for abiding in Christ. Cross-less. Rebuke and run if they don’t repent – which they most likely won’t because they are intoxicated with this delusion. Calvinism is a system, a set of doctrines of devils that grossly misrepresents Christ and His original Gospel! Calvinism and the Devils who Peddle it Busted!
God gave man free will and HIS WILL is indicated here in 1 Timothy 2:4 …. Jesus died to “draw all men” to Himself but they must individually choose….God SOVEREIGNLY gives all men freedom to choose or reject Him (Joshua 24:15, etc.). See John 12:32 and 1 Jn 2:2 and 2 Pet 3:9 …. He foreknew them only due to His “foreknowledge” but that’s because He is divine and knows all things, including the choices individual men will make…. yet He never tampers with their free will, other than to draw them to Himself…. the way is predestinated not the person …..
Calvinism is demonic as well as those who espouse this evil system of hatred and futility (1 Timothy 4:1). None of those Romans verses they misuse mean or say that God tampered with the free will HE gave men… as if He foreordained that some go to hell as well as forcing His “elect” into His kingdom against their own free will. Calvinists read into the text. They are indoctrinated from small children with this diabolical system.
“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” James 1:13-15
“But if the word of God foretells that some angels and men shall be certainly punished, it did so because it foreknew that they would be unchangeably [wicked], but not because God had created them so.” Justin Martyr- c. 100/114AD – c. 162/168 AD.
God SOVEREIGNLY gave man free will (Deut. 30:19; Josh. 24:15, etc.). It’s that simple. Calvinism is an extra-biblical system of theology that a gross attack on the character and original Gospel of our LORD.
Terrence Przybylski writes: “The only thing that was predestined by God was the plan of salvation for mankind at Calvary. God’s will for mankind is for all to come to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Even though wide and broad is the road to destruction and straight and narrow is the road to eternal life, the few that find it is because they individually choose to repent of their sins and receive Jesus as their Savior.”
Calvinism is a doctrine of devils, “another gospel” and those who peddle it are “accursed” and it doesn’t matter how Christian are sincere or well meaning they may appear (Galatians 1:6-9).
Satan will give people a million pounds of truth to kill them with that one ounce of poison. But calvinism has ample amounts of poison and no one who holds Scripture as final authority could possibly buy into it. “A little leaven leaveneth (ruins) the whole lump.” (Galatians 5:9) Here is a library of posts exposing the roots and false doctrines of calvinism.

Of the “sovereignty” claim of calvinism, Ken Rieske writes:
“Calvin’s Sovereignty Doctrine Distorts the Attributes of God
Calvinists are proud to proclaim, “The basic principle of Calvinism is the sovereignty of God.” This doctrine allowed John Calvin to misinterpret Scripture in any manner he desired in order to fit his Institutes theology. He simply claimed the sovereignty of God allowed it. God’s other attributes such as love, justice, mercy and grace became irrelevant so long as sovereignty reigned. John Calvin’s extreme definitions of sovereignty and sin (Total Depravity or Total Inability) laid the foundation for a religion that bears his name, Calvinism.
John Calvin falsely taught that God “elects” some people from eternity past to be saved while damning all of the others to an eternal Hell with no hope of being saved. This false doctrine is directly opposite to the Bible which teaches that God is “not willing that any should perish.” If salvation were entirely dependent on the sovereign God as taught by John Calvin then certainly none would perish, but salvation is dependent upon the free will of people to believe the true gospel by faith.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning [His] promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Certainly God is sovereign. However, John Calvin used sovereignty as an excuse to formulate doctrines which violated God’s other attributes. Calvin’s doctrines of Unconditional Election and Limited Atonement predestine much of humanity to eternal torment in violation of God’s attributes of love, justice, mercy and grace. Doctrines which are correctly interpreted from Scripture will not violate any of God’s attributes.
Certainly God is sovereign according to the definition of sovereign in a dictionary. God is Number One — the Most High, but God does not control every event and action of mankind as if people were puppets, as claimed by John Calvin. The Scripture verses below clearly show that the unbelief of the Children of Israel in the wilderness “limited the Holy One of Israel.” According to the false doctrine of John Calvin, God cannot be limited. Scripture says He can be limited. God could not secure the entry of the Children of Israel into the promised land as He desired because they would not move forward. So God left them in the wilderness for 40 years because of their unbelief, arrogance and rebellion.” Calvinism by Ken Rieske
CRUX – WHY THEY DEPART FROM GOD’S WORD AND MIGRATE TO THIS HERETICAL SYSTEM: Calvinists are among the vilest of counterfeits who love their sin, spending endless hours reading the works of mere sinful men who offer an alternative to the cross, the crucified life. They will do anything on earth except truly repent and lose their life in this world (Luke 9:23-24; 14:27, 33; 17:33; Galatians 2:20, etc.).
