People don’t have a “mental health” problem, they have a SIN problem and sin is what gives way, gives full access to Satan!
“When people hear voices telling them to harm themselves or others, that’s not a chemical imbalance, it’s demon possession.” Rachel Gould
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9
Jesus taught us that man’s sin comes out of his “desperately wicked” heart (Jer17:9; Mark 7:20-23).
The devil and his agents have created a million ways to divert us from stopping our lives, getting honest, taking personal responsibility, humbling ourselves, admitting our sins against God, and repenting.
“When David took his sin to God in Psalm 51 he took 100 percent responsibility! He did not blame Bathsheba and did not seek therapy or medications. He took his heart to God. Repented and pleaded with the Lord to forgive and cleanse him. And the Lord restored to him the joy of his salvation. David was truly broken before God. And the only answer he sought was the Lord.” Karen Cochran
“And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.” Mark 7:20-23
Mankind’s core dilemma is sin (Romans 1-3). Jesus Christ came and died to “save his people from their sins,“ to “taketh away the sin of the world,“ and not to merely deal with fallen man on a surface level as on a mental level (Matthew 1:21; John 1:29). God doesn’t band aid broken things, He heals and makes them whole to the root because the root determines the fruit (Matthew 12:33; Luke 4:18, etc.). Christ’s salvation is perfect. Evil is in our hearts and proceeds forth from that wicked heart until Christ regenerates us (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; John 3:3, 7; Titus 3:5-7). This is why the sinner must of divine necessity be born again, must be made completely new “by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5-7). Then and not before then, the born again saint of Christ is made a “a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God” (2 Corinthians 5:17-18).
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. … 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” John 3:3, 7
Our alienated spiritual state while in sin, is not a mental health issue (Ephesians 2:1-3). Rather, sin is the spiritual state all men are in, separated from the life of God and under condemnation, until they are born again in Christ Jesus (John 3:1-8; 2 Corinthians 5:17-18; Titus 3:5-7, etc.).
Anyone attributing sin to “mental health” issues is a blinded false teacher who is preaching “another gospel” and is “accursed” (Galatians 1:6-9). Mental dysfunction is only coming from sin, it’s a mere symptom, not the root cause. Fallen man needs God – he needs the change of heart, a divine miracle at the core of his being – something the LORD alone can and will do when the individual repents and receives Christ (Acts 3:19; John 1:12-13, etc.).
Did Jesus come to die for sin or “mental health issues”?
“Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29
SIN is man’s core issue. Seems like “mental health” gets blamed for much more than is fair. And, mental health issues emanate from man’s sin which only Jesus can cure. WE have ALL sinned against our Maker and yet He is so loving that He sent His only begotten Son to die for us while we were yet sinners (John 3:16; Romans 3:10, 23; 5:6-8). “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house” (Acts 16:31).
Human reasoning is debunked by the Word of God. Read Colossians 2:8-10. Those who walk with God, who truly love God and people, give the people HIS Word which plainly states “Ye MUST be born again” (John 3).
Anything else is a lie from a hateful counterfeit, a deceiver (Proverbs 27:5-6). Only Jesus can forgive sin and eradicate demons (Matthew 9:6; 26:28). Read Mark 5 concerning the demon possessed man who after Jesus set him free was “in his right mind” (Mark 5:15). Also, memorize James 4:7 and learn that there is no getting rid of Satan until there is true repentance through which God forgives the sin that previously gave Satan access, control over that person.
The “old man“ otherwise called “the flesh” in Scripture, must be “put off” or crucified by way of the daily cross – the crucified life (Ephesians 4:22; Colossians 3:8-10). So many who pretend to represent Christ today in the apostate modern church world often speak in terms of finding out things about ones self. This they do instead of citing and reading and teaching from God’s Word what the testimony of Scripture is about fallen mankind (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3, 7, etc.). The focus is on self whom they do not identify as “desperately wicked” and in need of the miracle of regeneration (John 3:3, 7; Titus 3:5-7). God’s only answer is the cross of Christ and when He saves a man, that man is to be crucified with Christ. When you do not hear these original Gospel essentials, identify such as a false ministry. None of these things are ever mentioned in the messages we hear coming from the false priesthood of wolves who have and are commandeering the apostate modern church world further into deception and disillusionment (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). As was foretold, the great falling away has been on us for a while now (Amos 8:11; Matthew 7:15; 24:3-5, 11; 2 Thessalonians 2; 1 Timothy 4:1-2; 2 Timothy 3:13, etc..
The no sin nature people are missing the cross. The Mike Desario’s, the Charles Finney’s, and the Jesse Morrell’s of the world peddle the no-sin-nature heresy and also do not preach the cross, the crucified life. They rag on endlessly about “stopping all sin” but never mention the crucified life which is the only divine prescription for overcoming sin (Romans 6, etc.). That alone makes them false, peddlers of “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:6-9) This is why they can’t understand this. They do not realize that God gave us the solution to this sin bent (iniquity), this inherent in fallen man sin – and that answer is the crucified life which is at the heart of the original Gospel.
Christ alone is the cure FOR the curse of sin.
PSYCHO-BABBLE, PSYCHOTHERAPY IS A LIE THAT PROMISES ANSWERS WHILE ALLOWING ITS FALSE PROPHETS TO MILK THE VICTIMS OF ITS LIES (2 Peter 2:1-3).
No one needs psychology to notice and understand the flaws of the fallen man, of fallen in sin mankind. Psychology is a cheap imitation that offers zero solutions. The fathers of modern psychology were all unrepentant and vile and sinfully perverted men, children of satan. Jesus alone can forgive sin and make a man whole (Matthew 9:6; Luke 4:18, etc.). That’s why Heaven’s King came. Every other promise is a lie. The world has no answer for the sin that is the root cause of all of man’s ailments (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 1-3; 6-7, etc.). Jesus saves. Jesus forgives. Jesus makes whole – from the inside out – all the way to the root of the issue! Christ alone is the cure to the cancer of sin!
Clue: Mental health issues are merely the result of SIN! Christ’s solution to sin grants men to be in their “right mind” just like it did the demon possessed maniac at Gadara. After Jesus cast out the devils that had possessed him, and made this man whole (salvation), then it says this:
“And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.” Mark 5:15
“Mental illness” has taken center stage as the primary excuse for SIN and for justifying evil. Psychology is a lie. There is no solution in it. Only Jesus can cure the curse of sin! He died to do just that! Reject Him and you are Satan’s property!
The source of sin AND evil is rooted in Satan and is in the hearts of men. Christ alone can cure this curse.
Jesus came to raise men from their dead spiritual state. He alone can do such. He says “Ye must be born again” (John 3:3, 7).
“To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” Acts 26:18
Any person who is not genuinely born again, washed in the blood of Jesus Christ, IS the property of Satan and under his evil control.
“He that is not with me is against me…” Matthew 12:30
Reducing sin to “mental health issues” is an antichrist attack on Christ and His Gospel!
The increasing violence and evil we see erupting across our nation and world was foretold in God’s Word and is a manifestation of the evil, the wicked hearts of fallen men, unsaved men.
“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:13
Anyone not pointing out that you are a sinner separated from your Maker, and not pointing you to the salvation that is in Christ Jesus alone, is misleading you. Sinful man has no solution in and of himself. Only God Himself can make you whole. And, He desires to do just that! Today is your day to turn your life to God, to confess what He already knows – that you are a vile sinner. And to receive the salvation, the forgiveness of all your sins by receiving the perfect Lamb of God who was slain for your sins – to bring you to God! (John 1:12-13, 29)
“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: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. … 29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:12-13, 29
Those in sin are blind and can’t see this. They vainly believe that “reforms” can turn this tide of evil. But only God can solve this problem of sin and He will only do that where there is repentance and faith in Christ (Acts 20:21). Spiritual bankruptcy is only solved by repentance and being washed in the blood of Jesus Christ, who is the only answer to man’s sin problem. “What must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house” (Acts 16:30-31).
Those without God look within for reform when all there is is sin within. Reform is not what’s needed. Change is needed and only God can make that change in a man and He calls it “regeneration” and being “born again” (Titus 3:5-6; John 3:3, 7). Only the LORD can solve man’s sin problem and He did just that when He sent His only begotten Son for the sins of the world.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
Sin is man’s problem. Sin is at the root of man’s dilemma, not a “mental disorder” or disease (Colossians 2:8). Sin is man’s core problem from which all his ailments emanate (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 1 and 3, etc.).
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.” Acts 17:30-31
The Bible never says “know thyself”!!! God’s Word commands all men to “repent,“ to submit to God (Acts 17:30; James 4:7). The Word says “DENY,“ crucify your evil self! Read Luke 9:23-24; Romans 6, etc.. When we look within the Bible we find that mankind is fallen and full of sin within. That sin must be forgiven at initial salvation and crucified for the remainder of the life of that disciple while on earth (Romans 6).
After Christ saves us, we don’t evolve into being a better “Christian.” No. There will always be that sinful, iniquitous nature called “the old man,“ which must be daily crucified as we “put on the new man.”
“Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:” Colossians 3:9-10
The SINNER, the vile wretch I must first and foremost confront and continually crucify, is myself! (Read Rom 7:18, 24; Ps 39:4-5; Eccl 7:20.) It’s essential to begin to understand the flesh, the fallen man, the iniquitous old man, in order to realize what we’ve been saved from and what must be crucified daily. The cross is God’s solution, prescription to “put off the old man with his deeds.”
“That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;” Ephesians 4:22
“Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;” Colossians 3:9
What about this evil nature we all have….. what does Scripture reveal? Let’s talk about how the only solution is the cross, to X it out, to cancel, to crucify it to nothing, that Christ might reign – the Gospel reenacted in our daily lives – death, burial, resurrection. Saints, this truth must be explored, studied, and learned from God’s Word.
That evil, that iniquity working in us perhaps hastens us to His cross for forgiveness, mercy, and to put it off, crucify it. Have you noticed, like Paul, that it’s nothing but ugliness? Romans 7. One disciple writes:
“We want to TRY against evil (law and human effort) but the only way is to DIE to evil and be raised up with new life (grace).”
We must see the sin in our own evil hearts and repent, confess, and cry out to God to cleanse us (Psalms 51; 139:23-24; Matthew 5:8, etc.). Then, take up the cross and follow your Savior.
“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.” Ezekiel 18:30
The Bible says to examine yourself but it never says to look within yourself for any virtue or anything good at all because the heart is deceitful “above all things and desperately wicked”! (Read 2 Corinthians 13:5; Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3, etc..)
“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” 2 Corinthians 13:5
Judge yourself in order to avoid damnation with the world:
“For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.” 1 Corinthians 11:31-32
God Himself is good and perfect and just and we are continually told to be “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2).
Now read Hebrews 12:1-12 and know that God’s correction is simply the clear proof that He loves us – that we are HIS! Rejoice! Then read Revelation 3:19.
“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” Revelation 3:19
GOD WILL NOT WORK IN OUR LIVES UNTIL WE OPENLY ADMIT AND ANNOUNCE OUR OWN UTTER DEPRAVITY, OUR POVERTY OF SPIRIT, AND CRY OUT TO HIM TO SAVE, DELIVER, AND MAKE US WHOLE – AS HE ALONE CAN DO!
Paramount to your understanding of divine redemption of the fallen race via the cross of Christ is your recognition, your understanding of the utter depravity of fallen mankind.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3
Note, “poor in spirit.” Not poor financially or religiously. The Greek word translated into English as “poor” is PTOCHOS. It means pauper, beggar, poor…..desperate and spiritually impoverished. Christ looks to desperate, hungry and thirsty people who want more of Him (Is. 66:2). Their hearts pant for more of Him (Ps. 42:1-2). They deeply desire more of His presence and Word.
ALL who seek to hide/cover their sins instead of repenting and forsaking them, will perish (Proverbs 28:13).
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13
“Repentance is to TAKE SIDES with God against yourself. It is a CHANGE of attitude toward SELF, toward SIN, toward GOD, toward CHRIST that is so REAL that it RESULTS in a changed life. It is raising the WHITE FLAG in SURRENDER to God and turning to Christ as your only LORD and Savior. Repentance is NOT a work … works are the fruit of repentance (Ephesians 2:8-10).” Trent Austin
The Truth about Fallen Mankind – That Includes You!
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Genesis 6:5
“And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.” Genesis 6:12
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9
“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. … O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Romans 7:18, 24
Is Romans 7 Before or After Paul’s Salvation?
Defusing the iniquity of self-righteousness increases exponentially when we begin learning the biblical doctrine of fallen mankind (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 7:18; Psalms 39:4-5).
Don’t trust yourself, trust God and deny self! “He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered” (Proverbs 26:28).
Only Satan and his children live by the diabolical edict of “be true to yourself.” Knowing how wretched they are of themselves, without Christ, those who are known of God live by “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6).
“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.” Romans 3:19
There’s a difference between justifying sin and honestly admitting the truth – that we are nothing and in utter need of an abiding felloship and union with Jesus! There is no justifying the sin Jesus died to forgive and deliver us FROM! (See Matthew 1:21; John 1:29; Romans 6:1-2.) One of those sins is self-reliance/pride/self-righteousness – self idolatry – which leads us to not admit our utter present and perpetual need for divine mercy and grace! (Read Matthew 5:3; Romans 7:18.) You are nothing and do nothing to please God without Jesus, even in your “best state” (Psalms 39:4-5; John 15:5).
Satan is not only the king of self-love and the result of being alienated from God, but also “he is a king over all the children of pride.” (Job 41:34)
Anyone living in the sin of pride instead of humility is in the grip of Satan himself!
“They are all under sin; 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” Romans 3:9-10
Why was there the judgment of the Noahic flood? Why will there be judgment in the future?
“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Genesis 6:5
Man is by nature and therefore in deeds sinful. After the first man and woman the LORD created sinned, death (spiritual separation) passed upon all men born after them (Rom. 5:12).
“Repent” is the very first word of the Gospel (Matt. 3:2; 4:17) and men cannot and will not realize the need to repent and believe in Jesus Christ if they aren’t first shown that their core problem is the sin that separates them from their beloved Creator.
“But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” Isaiah 59:2
It is the false teacher/leader who refuses to hold up this foundational truth since the realization of it doesn’t make people feel good about themselves and that is what the deceiver aims for in order to position people to support his ministry.
“Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.” Lamentations 2:14
According to what the Holy Spirit reveals to us here in Lamentations 2:14 concerning false leaders, we should discern those we listen to very closely. He tells us here that false prophets do not discover or uncover and deal with what God calls sin. Paul did (1 Cor. 6:9-10; Gal. 5:19-21, etc.). Jesus did (Mk. 7:20-23; 9:43-49, etc.). The apostle John dealt with the issue of sin (1 Jn. 1-2:2; 3:1-10; Rev. 21:8, 27, etc.).
Laughably, false teacher James Dobson says that lack of self esteem is man’s root problem. Total diabolical lie!
Instead of tending to the things that matter to the LORD, counterfeit leaders today deal with surface issues – “vain and foolish things…false burdens.” Any man in leadership who refuses to deal with sin by name and head on, is false. He is so very puffed up in his own fleshly mind that he thinks he is wiser than the Almighty and vainly believes and reasons out that he knows more about what men need than the infinite One who made man. Regardless of his reasoning, any person in leadership who does not address sin and the holiness of God, is completely false. Please allow this writer to encourage you to do an inventory on those leaders you are currently listening to and run for your life if any of them are not addressing what the LORD told us violates His holiness.
NEVER EVER LOSE SIGHT OF THE FACT THAT MANKIND IS FALLEN. IT STARTED WHEN THE VERY FIRST MAN AND WOMAN CHOSE TO REBEL AGAINST OUR MAKER. SIN IS MAN’S CORE PROBLEM, NEED, AND ISSUE. ONLY CHRIST CAN CURE THE CURSE OF SIN AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHY HE CAME.
The heart of the “wise virgin” believer is flooded with the light of God through daily diligent study of His Word (Psalms 119:130). What most don’t realize is that darkness immediately descends upon the heart left unattended – the heart not daily receiving the light of divine truth through diligent study of the Holy Scriptures (2 Timothy 2:15). The heart left without the bright shining light of God’s Word shining into it daily, WILL revert back to type – darkness, iniquity, “desperately wicked,” “only evil continually” (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9, etc.).
The ministerial beguiler, whose goal is not to fear and please God but rather to build a bigger church congregation, has to remove Bible doctrines that sting the conscience (Isaiah 30:9-10; 2 Timothy 4:2-4). God’s desire is to prick or sting the conscience of man in order to bring to him conviction of his sin and repentance. Yet the wolf who hides in sheep garb must entertain and only speak of smooth things that do not interrupt the lifestyles of those he seeks to gain and keep the support of (Matthew 7:15). Regrettably and yet in fulfillment of prophecy, the landscape of the visible church world is littered with such false teachers (2 Timothy 3:13).
“That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits.” Isaiah 30:9-10
Sinful man betrays his own eternal soul in seeking to console himself in order that he might continue to enjoy his temporary pleasures. Beguilers in leadership refuse to interrupt this death march of the wicked (many who believe they are saved). There is no end to the false prophets who have risen to accommodate such a state of depravity. Oh, just think of the light fanfare messages and book titles that entice men to experience the self life to the fullest. “Your Best Life Now” is one that comes to mind. If the premise of this book by Joel Osteen were biblical, it would have been titled “Your Best Life THEN.” Why do I state this? Jesus guaranteed that those who truly follow Him would “be hated of all men for my name’s sake” and that many would be killed for following Him and promised that His Father was preparing “mansions” in Heaven for those who endured to the end (Matt. 10:22; 24:10-13; Jn. 14:1-6). In direct contrast to Osteen, we see that Jesus Christ taught that the best life for His true followers would be then not now. Suffering with joy and grace to sustain us now (in this short life) and eternal bliss then is the consistent message of Scripture (2 Cor. 4:16-18; Phil. 1:29). Do you remember that the prodigal (apostate) son departed from his father only when he demanded his best life now? See Luke 15.
“And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.” Luke 21:16-17
Below is an example of the most obvious false teacher in America and yet there are “many,” “many,” other false teachers as Jesus repeatedly told us there would be in this late hour (Matthew 7:15; 24:4-5, 11, 24):
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15
“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:11
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matthew 24:24
Jesus Christ or Osteen? Who’s False?
BEWARE of the message of the many self-exalting, Christ-demoting Luciferic Wolves of this late hour! Isaiah 14:12-15 says it all! The 5 “I”‘s of Lucifer!
Joel Osteen / Lakewood Church have as their slogan “Discover the Champion in You.” That’s because it’s all about YOU (idol) in their luciferic theology/mythology! But what champion? WHO is the true Champion? Who is the mere depraved pauper utterly unworthy to be forgiven and saved?
Did Jesus, Paul, or any of the apostles use any such language as “discover the champion in you”? No! Does the Bible teach that we are to discover JESUS or something in our own depraved, wicked nature?
“The only champion in me is God! And last I checked I didn’t need to unlock him!” Ray Zeitler
This spineless moral coward, Joel Osteen, who deceitfully poses as a Christian leader, holds up a Bible in his services and has everyone repeat these words with him: “This is my Bible, I am what it says I am…” BUT does Joel even begin to believe this? Do those he is leading astray believe this?
When is the last time your favorite author brought forth these divinely-inspired words spoken by the very Son of God? When is the last time Joel Osteen preached on suffering (a major theme of Holy Scripture)?
Stop for a moment and ask yourself 2 simple and important questions:
1) Why won’t Joel Osteen and other deceivers communicate these words of Jesus?
2) Why do they pick and choose and always come up with easy things to say that won’t offend people?
Osteen says:
- “I don’t get deep and theological.” Joel Osteen, New York Times July 18,2005
An internet search using key words “Osteen quotes” will turn up mostly new age, positive thinking sites. Why? Because the world of sinners gladly receives those who will not communicate the biblical truth that they are sinners and need to be born again. It seems from observing the above quote and Joel’s ministry, that Osteen only gets as “theological” as is necessary to draw the “Christian” crowd and support. As you will see in his many self-actualization type positive thinking quotes, Osteen has enough wherewithal to invent these self-sayings and yet chooses not to “get deep and theological.” How telling.
When speaking before a lost sea of human souls on national television, Osteen openly denies Bible truth and Jesus Christ (see Joel Osteen Exposed). He never hints that sin is man’s core problem and that the blood of Christ’s cross is the only solution. Like it or not – This alone makes Joel Osteen a bona fide false prophet.
Contrast this: Joel makes people feel good about themselves while living in their sins, while Jesus Christ identifies then cleanses the sins of men, giving them the deep peace He alone shed His own life blood to give them.
Do men need a band-aid or the only real solution that gets to the root of their dilemma?
Who will you believe? – the mere sinner Joel Osteen, or Jesus Christ, the nail-scarred risen Savior and LORD who died for all your sins? Is sin an offense against the one true holy God or did Jesus come in vain to the earth to pay for the sins of the whole world? Who is the liar in your mind and heart?
So you think Joel Osteen is a nice guy? Does he make you feel good? Does Osteen have nail-scarred hands and feet? Did Joel die for your sins? Did Osteen rise from the dead to justify you before a holy God and Judge? Is Joel Osteen coming back from Heaven for you?
What about Jesus Christ? Is He a nice guy? What did He do for you? Do you believe in Him? You sure? If so, you completely embrace every single thing He gave you in His Word and it takes complete and superior precedence over the words of any other mere man or men – “yea, let God be true, but every man a liar.” (Rom. 3:4)
Is Jesus Christ the only way to God and Heaven or did Christ lie to us all? Discern for yourself: Below is a partial transcript from the “Larry King Live” (CNN), Monday, June 20th, 2005 Interview with Pastor Joel Osteen:
KING: What if you’re Jewish or Muslim, you don’t accept Christ at all?
JOEL OSTEEN: You know, I’m very careful about saying who would and wouldn’t go to heaven. I don’t know …
KING: If you believe you have to believe in Christ? They’re wrong, aren’t they?
JOEL OSTEEN: Well, I don’t know if I believe they’re wrong….But I just think that only God will judge a person’s heart.
KING: You don’t call them sinners?
JOEL OSTEEN: I don’t.
KING: Is that a word you don’t use?
JOEL OSTEEN: I don’t use it.
CALLER: I’m wondering, though, why you side-stepped Larry’s earlier question about how we get to heaven? The bible clearly tells us that Jesus is the way, the truth and the light and the only way to the father is through him. That’s not really a message of condemnation but of truth.
KING: So then a Jew is not going to heaven?
JOEL OSTEEN: No. Here’s my thing, Larry, is I can’t judge somebody’s heart. You know? Only God can look at somebody’s heart, and so — I don’t know. To me, it’s not my business to say, you know, this one is or this one isn’t. And I just I think it’s wrong when you go around saying, you’re saying you’re not going, you’re not going, you’re not going, because it’s not exactly my way.
I’m just…
KING: What about atheists?
JOEL OSTEEN: You know what, I’m going to let someone — I’m going to let God be the judge of who goes to heaven and hell.
The Son of God asks:
“Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?” Matthew 16:13
Who shall you believe? Does Osteen have a Bible? Has he read it and believed it or is he simply using certain parts of it for his own advantage and calling Jesus Christ, the very Son of God a liar? Weigh the following quotes from Jesus Christ against what Osteen told the world on Larry King Live. Christ stated:
“I am THE way (not a way)…no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” (Jn. 14:6)
“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” (Mk. 16:16)
“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (Jn. 3:36)
Is Jesus Christ a liar or is Joel Osteen a deceiver and a liar? Hint: Can’t be both. You must choose. Jesus said “He that is not with me IS against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” (Matt. 12:30)
Osteen clearly denies Jesus Christ and His words and is therefore under the judgment of God (Mk. 8:38). Why would any authentic, born again believer want to support his ministry? Why would any caring believer not warn others of such falsity in order to protect them in the truth?
When the smooth talking false leader goes into the Bible to pick and choose what he wants to say to the people, he has to intentionally ignore and dodge volumes of statements/Scriptures like this that the Son of God spoke. This is because he is doing ministry for himself and not truly for Christ. If he were truly serving the LORD, He would openly and without shame proclaim the full counsel of His precious Word/truth (Ps. 119:104, 128; Prov. 30:5; Mk. 8:38; Jn. 8:47; Acts 20:20, 27). What did Jesus tell us was going to happen to those who denied Him?
“Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.” Luke 12:8-9
The forever fires of eternal damnation await these vast audiences, but do you think the slew of self-serving entertainers care? Are they not likened to the preying “brood of vipers” Jesus cited in Matthew 23?
In the 5th chapter of Jeremiah, the Holy Spirit gives some detailed insight into the world of religion and how it all works as an industry. He speaks of the false leadership, giving earmark, identifying characteristics and how the people (those who support the deceivers) gladly participate in this treason against the LORD.
“Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. 26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. 27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. 28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. 29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; 31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?” Jeremiah 5:25-31
While their sins were holding back good blessings from them, the false prophets were catering to the people and telling the people what they wanted to hear and not what God wanted to tell them. This is the first thing to learn in discerning a false leader – they don’t preach the naked truth from God’s Word. Nothing has changed. There is no new thing under the sun friends (Eccl. 1:7; 1 Cor. 10:13). Were we not warned of this same scenario transpiring in the very last days of this age? – a mutual mutiny (rebellion) against the LORD involving false prophets and the people who make their reign of treason and deceit possible by supporting them? (Read 1 Tim. 4:1-5; 2 Tim. 3:1-7, 13; 4:1-5.) Both parties are equally guilty before God and impending judgment awaits all who do not repent and begin exposing false prophets instead of supporting them – “what will ye do in the end thereof?” (See Jeremiah 5:31.) It is a biblical mandate to mark (not cover for) false teachers and teachings (Rom. 16:17-18; Eph. 5:11; Jude 3-4).
Let’s look closer at Jeremiah 5:31 above. Note that there are 3 players mentioned by God here – prophet, priest, and people:
- “The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means” – the leaders were working together (prophets & priests) to bring mutually satisfying returns to their own coffers.
- “my people love to have it so” – those who claimed to know the LORD loved hearing things that made them feel good in the now, so they could enjoy their best life now. These people are not valiant for the truth and do not want to deal with what God says is sin against His holiness. They had no thought of eternity and what was ahead in the fierce and horrible Judgment of the God they would soon stand before to give account. Like those today, the false prophets in Israel had intentionally ignored and removed from the people the doctrines of judgment to come, the essential of personal holiness, sin, eternal damnation, etc..
- “what will ye do in the end thereof?” – what will be the end of those who were led astray by these deceivers? What will be the end of those who support such falsehood and false prophets? Without repentance (before it’s too late) these people truly are experiencing their best life now – because damnation awaits both parties.
The Intoxicating Effect of Self-Serving Reciprocal Falsity
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3-4
Speaking of the facilitation of false prophets by His people, the LORD said “my people love to have it so” (Jer. 5:31). Of all the deceivers peddling their wares today, warring against the LORD Almighty, none seem to have made inroads into the hearts of people like Joel Osteen. I have talked to dozens of people who believe they are truly following Christ, who have bought into Osteen’s new age feel-good message sprinkled with a few Scriptures. Like the days of Jeremiah, there seems to be a soul-tie between false prophet and people. From what I hear coming from those who listen to Osteen, it seems that Joel makes people feel so good about themselves (with no need to change-repentance) that they have been intoxicated by that feeling and lost track of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. These people are truly not enduring “sound doctrine; but after their own lusts” are heaping “to themselves teachers, having itching ears (unpurged sinful lusts).” They have turned away their ears from the truth, and been turned unto fables.
Concerning the Lost
Sin is mankind’s root dilemma and Jesus is the only Solution.
Be not deceived: the Bible informs us that man’s core problem is the sin that separates him from his holy Maker. How can one aggrandize the preciousness of the Savior if he doesn’t first realize the depth of his own depravity and need for God’s forgiveness? He simply cannot. So, give the lost the law (Ten Commandments) and let the LORD convict and break them, bringing them to repentance and into His glorious salvation (Gal. 3:24).
“The heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart.” unknown
The only SOULution to man’s sin dilemma is the blood of the sole soul Savior.
“For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Matthew 26:28
“Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29
“But God commendeth (displayed) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” Romans 5:8-9
“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15
Beloved, this fundamental biblical truth (above) is utterly essential to memorize in these last days where the enemy’s lies are going to increase yet more and more, deceiving those who are not soundly standing and rooted and grounded in the love and truth of the LORD Jesus Christ (2 Thess. 2:10-12; 2 Tim. 3:13-4:5). Hordes of deceivers (as clearly foretold) operate feverishly in the ministry, psychologizing the faith and leading millions astray (Acts 20:20, 27-32). Don’t be a casualty. Devour His precious precepts that you might fully love and please the One who bled and rose again for your sins and endure to the end as we await His soon return from Heaven (Matt. 10:22, 24:10-13; 1 Thess. 1:10).

Brother, the first thing man must receive the knowledge of is His depraved, sinful state. Gen. 6:5, 12; Jer. 17:9, Rom. 7:18, 24, etc. This is a luciferic myth that is leading millions astray who think they know Christ. Delusion! Man cannot possibly appreciate and glorify God until they begin to realize the depth of their own depravity! We have to be brought to the lowest depths of the realization of our utter depravity before Him who is “Holy, holy, holy” before we can be anything in God.

How Has Women Leaving Their Homes Hurt Culture?

by The Transformed Wife, Lori Alexander
Many women despise my teachings on women being keepers at home. They will often give me names of all the great and powerful women who left their homes and did good things in order to back up their defense that women don’t need to be keepers at home. They will tell me that I am shaming women for teaching these things. They confuse shaming with conviction. God’s Word convicts them. If they feel shame, they are really feeling conviction. If they are doing what they know is right, no one would be able to shame them.
How has women leaving their homes hurt culture? It has hurt culture in many, many ways. Children are no longer being raised by their own mothers. They are being raised by daycare workers and teachers. “The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame” (Proverbs 29:15). Children need a lot of teaching, training, and discipline. They aren’t receiving this if their mothers are away from them most of the day. These mothers are giving their best to others instead of to their children. These children are bringing shame to their mothers as they grow up. We are told this in God’s Word. All of the people we see rioting and burning down buildings were most likely not raised by a mother full time.
Women leaving their homes have hurt marriage. Women now initiate divorce 70 percent of the time since they no longer need to depend upon their husbands but can instead take half of what he owns and have them pay child support for many years. They are often too tired to put much time or energy into their marriages due to their careers. Marriage and raising children is FAR more important than having a career. There is nothing more important than raising the next generation, and children need a mother and father under the same roof and involved in their lives.
Women leaving their homes has hurt the old people. Old people no longer have their daughters around to help and give them comfort because their daughters are pursuing their careers. Young mothers hurt because they no longer have their mothers help because they have careers and they don’t have any older women involved in their lives due to careers. Neighbors don’t have people they can call on when they need help when all of the women are working away from their homes.
Women are more depressed and suicidal than ever before. They can’t expect anything different when they leave the clear path that God has chosen for them to pursue their own paths. God is our Creator and He is good. His ways for us are good. Women have been affected negatively since leaving their homes. Children have been abandoned and have been hurt the most. When the least among us is hurt the most, then we must carefully examine the path that we are on and switch course.
God-fearing women, I encourage you to go back to the paths that the Lord has laid out for you. If you think you can’t afford it, step out in faith in Almighty God. He tells us that His commands are not burdensome and that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. He wants you home full time. This is where He has given you to work and minister. Your work at home is not worthless! God will use you in powerful ways as you obey Him. He will bless you abundantly and the older you get, the more you will realize this.
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Jeremiah 6:16
GOD’S STATED WILL FOR YOUNG WOMEN – AND THE ULTIMATE WAY TO LIVE FULFILLED
“I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.” 1 Timothy 5:14
— marry
— bear children
— guide the house
The Role of the Woman – to bring new life into the world, to raise the next generation. Could there be a more noble calling?

Was Jesus the “One and Only Son” OR the “Only Begotten Son”? [podcast]

Why was the virgin birth of Jesus Christ an absolute necessity, essential?
WHAT does the Bible word “begotten” mean to salvation? Everything! Remove it and there is no salvation and God lied!
AND you still don’t think the changes made by satan’s agents in the new fake “bible” versions doesn’t change essential doctrine? You better think again.
What are the 2 central, essential reasons Jesus had to be born of a virgin – “begotten of the Father” in the womb of a virgin? (John 1:14)
- Because the Messiah had to be sinless in order to be the perfect sin offering to expiate the sins of fallen men (Hebrews 7:26; 1 John 2:22, etc.).
- In fulfillment of Messianic prophecy (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23).
“Begotten of the Father” is the only way the virgin birth could occur and the only way Jesus could be sinless (John 1:14).
One writer notes:
“The woman cannot transmit the sin nature to her offspring. The male DNA chromosome is the carrier of Sin that passes it down. Jesus could not be born to an earthly father.
Jesus had to partake (participate) in our plight (Heb 2:14) for us to participate in His resurrection, ascension and session. He was willing to take our sin condition in exchange for His victorious righteousness and glory. He came down to earth and even went under the earth to rescue us to the top of heaven. Eph 2:6.
Jesus demonstrated that it would never be by military might, control, threat, coercion, violence or killing that He would deliver us but only by becoming a helpless little embryo in the woman’s womb then a weak little baby lying in a filthy manger between the ass of ignorance and the ox of self-will. And then a carpenter.
The weakness of God is stronger than man. In the divine economy, power is perfected in weakness.”
John 3:16 compared:
King James Bible
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
NIV
“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”
ESV
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
NLT
“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
To say Jesus Christ was “the one and only Son” of God contradicts Holy Scripture
Unlike the new “bibles”, the King James Bible uses “only BEGOTTEN Son” as is correctly translated from the Majority Manuscripts.
Jesus Christ is unique in all history in that He alone had a divine Father. He was begotten (generated) of Father God in the womb of a virgin. This miracle has never nor ever will happen again. a virgin conceived and bore the “only begotten son of God.”
From now on, when you hear someone quote that Jesus is “the one and only Son,” you will know they are quoting from one of the many fake news “bibles.”
In John 3:16, the Devil’s new “bibles” say “his one and only son” instead of the “only begotten Son” which is essential to the plan of God, the Messiah, the church, and the people of this world for whom Jesus died. Make no mistake: This is a frontal attack on our LORD and Savior by His arch enemy. First off, Jesus was not the “one and only son.” That is a contradiction. How could Jesus possibly be “the one and only son” when the Bible says – “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God…” (1 John 3:1)?
This is a robbing of the glory of God which is the work of none other than Satan himself. If Jesus weren’t the “only BEGOTTEN SON” then He wasn’t born of a virgin and isn’t the Messiah. Biblical truth 101 ! The Bible says that we, His people, are “the sons of God … Beloved, now are we the sons of God.” (1 John 3:1-2)
Webster’s 1828 Dictionary:
BEGOT’, BEGOT’TEN, Procreated; generated.
After Adam, only one human being in History was procreated, generated by the heavenly Father. Jesus. ALL other men, women, had an earthly father whose blood was contaminated by sin (Romans 5:12, etc.).
Hundreds of years before Jesus was born in Bethlehem, God’s prophet Isaiah foretold that the Messiah would be born of a “virgin.”
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14
Jesus Christ, if not “the only begotten of the Father”, is not the Messiah and is a fraud. There could be no more essential doctrine to the Christian faith.
If Jesus is not God He’s not the Messiah. Jesus says: “if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” (John 8:24 )
Isaiah told us that the Messiah would be born of a virgin, “begotten,” and the “mighty God” and “Immanuel”, “GOD with us.” (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6-7; Matthew 1:21-23)
What are the 2 central reasons Jesus had to be born of a virgin – “begotten of the Father” in the womb of a virgin? (See John 1:14.)
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
Only by being both deity and humanity could Jesus Christ bridge the sin-caused chasm that divided the two parties after the first man sinned (John 1:14; 1 Timothy 3:16).
“No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.” John 1:18
The “spirit of antichrist” denies that Jesus came in the flesh which means He was born of a virgin, begotten of the Father, and therefore divine.
“Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” 1 John 4:2-3
Holy Scripture informs us that “God was manifest in the flesh” and that was only possible by way of the divine Father God who begot Him in the womb of a virgin. “Immanuel” means God with us (Matthew 1:21-23; 1 Timothy 3:16 etc.).
There cannot possibly be a perfect sacrifice without a virgin birth executed by divine operation.
One writer notes:
“The DNA/chromosomes of the Sin Nature (“Sin” Rom 5:12) I believe can only be passed down thru the male. The woman cannot pass it down. Therefore the woman could be impregnated by the Holy Spirit and the child, Jesus, did not receive from Mary a sin nature or flesh. He was 100 % human but without a sin nature. God with sinless skin on. He maintained this state of sinless perfection all his life and had no sin nature until He drank and absorbed the cup of Sin right before He died. He was “made sin” in order that we might get rid of sin and become the righteousness of God having received the life of God in this very real exchange that happens at the cross. 2 Cor 5:21.”
Jesus’ blood had of necessity to be sinless, and it was. This is exactly why He had to be begotten, generated by God the Father in the womb of a virgin – one who never knew a man:
“For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.” Leviticus 17:11
“And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.” Hebrews 9:22
“The Blood”
“The Blood”
“The Blood”
“it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.” (Leviticus 17:11) Say that out loud beloved of God.
Anyone who doesn’t believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, begotten of the heavenly Father, and is divine, is a Christ-denying unbeliever and not saved.
The Only Begotten Son of God [podcast] | Fake News Bible Versions Exposed
God knew that wicked men, posing as His representatives, would appear throughout history to change His Word, as if it were a living, malable document. Not. This is why He told us He never changes and that His Word is “settled in heaven” and will never change by way of Him (Psalms 89:34; 119:89; Malachi 3:6; Mark 13:31, etc.). The LORD who “changeth not” specifically attached highest price tag, most severe punishment, to anyone who dare add to or take away from His words (Revelation 22:18-19). Satan himself is the one who influences wicked me to change God’s Word – “Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word.” (Mark 4:15). This description is not limited to and yet definitely applies to the “bibles” which are peddled by seminarian salesmen as being “easier to understand” and yet, these vile deceivers never mention how the content, the text of Scripture has been butchered.
For the above mentioned biblical reasons, we know of a certainty, that any person who participates in or justifies the changing of God’s Word, is of the devil (Proverbs 30:5-6; John 8:47, etc.). Beware.
Personally, I cannot endorse what are clearly Satan’s cheap subsitutes and counterfeits of God’s Word and therefore cannot recommend and definitely discourage any and all believers, not matter the maturity level, to read the King James Bible.

The Idiocy of Calvinism

The Five Filthy Falsehoods of Calvinism
The Shocking Connection between Calvinism and Catholicism
Calvinism’s Terrible TULIP:
- Total Depravity
- Unconditional Election
- Limited Atonement
- Irresistible Grace
- Perseverance of the Saints
Calvinism and dispensationalism are example of cult systems that displace the final divine authority of Holy Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Not even 1 point of calvinism is true. All 5 points of calvinism are patently false.
Below is more on the corruption of Calvinism and those “ungodly men” who teach and promote these false doctrines (Jude 3-4).
Calvinism is NOT Christianity …. it’s a diabolical perversion of the message of Christ and His holy apostles and fulfills Jude’s prophecy in Jude 3-4.
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!
Jim Borge writes: “I was brought up Lutheran and taught that the Reformation was a good thing. How untrue. What the Church needed was REVIVAL (righteousness and truth!), and not more dead doctrines of men!”
Jim Borge is correct: In the period of time we call “the dark ages,” when darkness had fallen on the peoples of the earth through the antichrist cult of Rome, the body of Christ simply needed and now needs to get back to the Bible. It doesn’t need to be mixed or rewritten but rather to be read honestly and thoroughly (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17). The Word of God, like its divine Author, “is settled in heaven,” for ever and is unchanging, is eternally constant (Psalms 119:89; Isaiah 40:8; Mark 13:31, etc.).
We must go back further than the “reformation.” Nothing needed to be RE-formed…. because we have a Bible which is the final divine authority (Mark 13:31; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.). Many of the “reformers” were absolute heretics such as the demon possessed murderous maniac, John Calvin.
“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” Psalms 119:89
Yet there was much mixture and error that came from the so-called “reformers.” We don’t need them – we need God’s Word. Some waste hours and even years studying “church history” instead of just getting into the Word of God. Sad. Today’s long established apostate seminaries spend more time on church history and other extra-biblical books than the Bible. The Bible is set aside and attention is given to what mere men said about the Bible instead of simply reading God’s Word itself. Beware. | Church History or the Scriptures?
“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” Mark 13:31
Calvinism is a cancer being spread by some of the most insidious wolves in the business. Oh and I mean business because they are about their father Satan’s business.
— TOTAL DEPRAVITY
Calvinists say that God punishes man for what man can’t help and that God supposedly commands men to do something man can’t do and then turns around and judges those men for what they can’t do. Here’s what I mean: Calvinism’s TULIP (five falsehoods) begin with “total depravity” (the “T) which in this evil theology means that man is so depraved that he has no ability to respond to God when God draws that man.
The doctrine of “total depravity” as created and defined by Calvinists, means that man is so very sinful that he has no will or ability to make the decision to obey what God demands – repentance and faith in Christ (Acts 20:21). So their terminology and definition of “total depravity” is not only ludicrous but patently false.
“In either scenario the first step is the same and from this understanding everything else in the Calvinistic system follows. The doctrine of Total Depravity says that due to the sin nature that we are born with man is incapable of hearing the Gospel and responding to it in a positive manner, i.e., respond in faith and trust God for our salvation through his Son Christ Jesus. Without God first making us able to have faith in Christ, after having chosen us to such a grace (and conversely, not choosing the others), we would never have faith in Christ.” Kirby Hopper
So even though God “commandeth ALL men everywhere to repent” and “is not willing that ANY should perish,” according to this evil theology, he only gives certain, special, elite people the ability or gift to repent and be saved. Such an idea is unscriptural, misleading, and completely false (Acts 17:30; 2 Peter 3:9). Actually, in this Satanic system, the demon god it depicts, repents for those special, respect-above-all-the-others persons. These Calvinists frame themselves as the elite elect who have no personal responsibility. The Bible teaches that we must receive and not deny Christ to be His elect. The “called, chosen, and FAITHFUL” will be with Him (Revelation 17:14). So, Calvinism has twisted the meaning of the “elect.” Even though the Bible informs us that “There is NO respect of persons with God,” the false god (evil spirit) behind Calvinism is said to have had respect of persons by arbitrarily hating and assigning some to eternal damnation in the lake of fire before the foundation of the world (Romans 2:11). That my friends, is not the one true God revealed in Holy Scripture who “is love.” (1 John 4:16)
“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:” Matthew 25:41
Jesus says that hell was NOT originally created for any man. He said hell is created for the devil and his angels and yet calvinism teaches that God ordained certain, the un-elect to go to hell from the foundation of the world (Matt 25:41). God’s Word says that Jesus “is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD.” (1 John 2:2) Jesus foretold that He was going to go to the cross to die and “draw ALL men” to Himself and so that has to mean He intends to save all men (John 12:32).
DID or did not Jesus die for “ALL men”?
The diabolical cult of calvinism claims that Jesus died for some and not “ALL men.” Anyone who believes the system of calvinistic lies is a highly delusional counterfeit.
“God our Saviour; 4 Who WILL (it’s His will) have ALLLLL men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for ALLLLLL, to be testified in due time.” 1 Timothy 2:4-6
Calvinism is the doctrinal system that attracts spineless moral cowards who want nothing to do with personal responsibility and accountability to God. They refuse to truly repent, lay down their lives in this sinful world, die to self, and truly follow Jesus. Repent sinner.
“And he is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of THE WHOLE WORLD.” 1 John 2:2
John Calvin was an absolute heretical fraud and so are all who espouse and are teaching his demonic errors.
One cannot possibly be a Bible believer and a calvinist.
The first point, total depravity, as defined by Calvinism, says that man is so depraved that he has no ability to do what God tells him to do, repent. Some who see this evil teaching for what it is define it as total inability. According to calvinists, God commands men to do something He doesn’t allow them the ability to do – “repent.” For example “God … commandeth all men every where to repent.” (Acts 17:30)
IF YOU HAVE SEEN CALVINISM, YOU HAVE SEEN SATAN HIMSELF.
IF YOU HAVE HEARD THAT ONE WHO TEACHES CALVINISM, REFORMED THEOLOGY, AND ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED, YOU HAVE SEE AN “UNGODLY” MAN, A WOLF (JUDE 3-4).
“I was listening to a Q&A with RC Sproul a couple years ago. The question was asked “If I have 2 kids and one has been predestined for heaven and the other predestined for hell … How do I deal with this” Sproul said that God’s grace would be demonstrated on the one. And he being a just Judge will judge the other kid sending him to judgement. That answer made me sick to my stomach to the point where I almost felt like throwing up. It left a feeling of disgust in my soul that lasted for a few days. Have never listened to him again.” MM
Calvinistic thinking is completely self-centered just like the author of Calvinism himself – Satan (see Isaiah 14:12-15; Genesis 2:17; 3:4, etc.). Have you noticed that you have never met a Calvinist who doesn’t believe that he (of course) is one of those special, “elect” persons whom God chose to be His while supposedly preordaining the remainder of His population to go to eternal damnation? How convenient.
—— AUGUSTINE WAS A CATHOLIC.
JOHN CALVIN REPEATEDLY ADMITTED TO GETTING HIS DOCTRINE FROM THIS PAGAN DEVIL.
ALL OF CALVINISM IS BASED ON A COMPLETELY FALSE PREMISE….. IT SUPPOSES THAT ANOTHER THING OR DOCTRINE OR SET OF BELIEFS IS NEEDED – TULIP – WHICH DENIES THAT SCRIPTURE IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY AND THE ONLY DOCTRINE NEEDED FOR THE BORN AGAIN SAINT (2 PETER 1:3-4; 20-21; 2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17, ETC.). In other words, the doctrines of calvinism displace, replace the Bible as final divine authority. THAT my friends is a cult. CALVINISM CALLS GOD A LIAR. CALVINISTS SAY THAT GOD DID NOT GIVE US SUFFICIENT TRUTH IN HIS WORD – THAT ANOTHER EXTRA-BIBLICAL “SOURCE” OR SYSTEM IS NEEDED. SO THE BASIS OF CALVINISM IS THAT THE BIBLE IS NOT ENOUGH – THAT ANOTHER MERE SINFUL MAN OR MEN (IN THIS CASE A CONSUMMATE MURDERER) WERE AND ARE NEEDED TO DETERMINE TRUTH.
“Those in the Reformed / Calvinist movement believe God ordains everything including man’s sins; which would make God a sinner himself; which is a lie from Satan himself. God is Holy and separate from sinners! Calvinism is a man made doctrine to boost man’s ego and pride which God says is an abomination. Jesus gave repentance to all of Israel but they willingly rejected Him. Jesus did not say Israel could not come to him, he said he wanted them to come to Him but they would not come to him. Calvinism is a cult.” Brian White
Oh and guess what? ONLY those who buy into this package are the Calvinists. No non-elect Calvinist will ever be heard teaching this absurd demonology. In other words all those who believe this just so happen to be the special “elect.” Go figure!!!!
“Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.” 1 Peter 1:2
Have you ever studied the “foreknowledge of God”? Foreknowledge – knowing beforehand – in no way means God robbed individuals of their free will which He gave them to begin with. “Foreknowledge” simply means God knows all things past, present, and future. He knows the decisions people are going to make and yet He “cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.” (James 1:13)
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.
Individual human beings are only “elect” in the sense that they elect to serve God on His terms. His foreknowledge does not in any way mean that He tampers with man’s will or makes the choice for him. God in His Word assures us that He “cannot be tempted with evil.” – “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.” (James 1:13)
So God told us that He is “NOT willing that ANY should perish” and yet you say He sadistically preordained some for hell? The Bible says that God is “not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
God sovereignly chose to give man the choice … and His will is that all would be saved: “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:4)
“CALVINISM IS A THREAT. ULTIMATELY, THIS FALSE THEOLOGY WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD IS A GOD WHO IS PLAYING CHESS WITH HIMSELF, DECIDING WHO HE LOVES BEST OUT OF ALL HIS EQUALLY SINFUL CHESS PIECES, LIKE A KID PLAYING FAVORITES.
WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES YOU SO SPECIAL OVER THE REST OF GOD’S EQUALLY SINFUL CHILDREN? HOW ABOUT A DESIRE TO GET TO KNOW HIM OF YOUR OWN FREE WILL? THERE MUST BE A DIFFERENTIATING FACTOR. A JUST GOD CANNOT REMAIN JUST BY CHOOSING WHO HE WILL SAVE FROM A MOB OF EQUALLY SINFUL CHILDREN. THEY SHOULD EITHER ALL BURN OR ALL GO TO HEAVEN, RIGHT? AFTER ALL, ALL MEN ARE EQUALLY SINFUL IN HIS HOLY EYES. FURTHERMORE, WHAT LOVE IS THERE IN A GOD WHO SAVES SOME CHILDREN FOR NO SPECIAL REASON, KNOWING IN ADVANCE THAT HE WOULD SEND THE REST TO HELL? YET, SOMEHOW HE LOVES US?
THE TRUTH IS, THAT GOD HAS TO HAVE A REASON FOR CHOOSING YOU TO BE SAVED. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING THAT SETS YOU APART FROM ALL THE OTHER EQUALLY SINFUL CHILDREN. THAT WOULD BE YOUR FREE WILL AND DECISION TO RESPOND TO HIS DRAWING, REPENT, PUT YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST, AND FOLLOW HIM.” MARION MILLS
“Choose you this day whom ye will serve.” Joshua 24:15
Think how delusional it is to claim that a just God is going to punish people who had no choice in committing the sin that sent them to hell. That’s a “another Jesus”, a demon. Anyone teaching such is a wolf (2 Corinthians 11:2-5).
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?
Simple question: How, why would a just God punish those who CHOSE to do evil if they had no choice, free will in the matter? He wouldn’t. To claim such is to say God is not just. “God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.” (James 1:13)
This following passage ends the calvinistic delusion for all honest Bible students:
“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
Calvinism blasphemously makes God out to be an accessory to and agent of evil.
On the difference between Calvinism and truly following Jesus, Bruce Pepper writes:
“I started studying Calvinism in order to refute him. In the first paragraph of one of his books, it said God predestined the fall of man for His own perverse pleasure. I read all I needed to know to notice that this man was with the devil and not a Christian. And Calvin was also a murderer. There are many people who follow Jesus the way THEY think best, which is not following Jesus at all. They’ll all be in hell. There’s one way to follow Jesus and that’s HIS way – the way He prescribes in His Word. The narrow way is the way that only a few there be that find it. Being a true Christian is being a follower of Christ and therefore following Him by laying down one’s life for Christ. All the wants, desires, hopes, and aspiration of the true disciple of Jesus is in Christ alone. The authentic follower of the Son of God, follows only the Holy Scriptures in such a way, that Christ Himself, and His ministry still walk the earth in a man. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. The dead are still raised, the blind see and I still see the deaf ears made to hear.”
It should be noted that in this deformed system of theology all five of its points are interrelated. In other words, if one of the points are wrong, they are all wrong and any true Bible believer knows they are all dead wrong.
— Calvinism is a false system of theology through which men think they see God ….. it completely misleads the individual who is too lazy to study God’s Word for himself as the Word commands us to do (Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 2:15). It’s a diabolically crafted grid or prism though which deceived people see “God” when in fact it’s not the LORD at all. Calvinism is a doctrine of devils which is bought into by those who refuse to die to self as Jesus said one must do to be saved (Luke 9:23-24; 1 Timothy 4:1-3). Calvinism teaches them that they have no free will and so, in delusionally believing they are the elect, the special chosen, in this theology, they vainly believe they are not personally responsible for any sin or for not living for Christ, etc. Utter nonsense.
Those who authentically honor God do so by honoring His Word and denouncing all religious affiliations and affinities, hating them compared to their burning love for Christ (Matt. 7:6-9; Lk. 14:26-27). These are the few that He is going to save (Lk. 12:32; 21:19; 1 Pet. 4:18).
***Bryan Davis writes: “The god of Calvinism is the most cruel, hateful being imaginable. He guarantees that people will sin, punishes them eternally for doing so, and forces a select few to become his followers, though he doesn’t provide them with enough grace to escape sin, yet just enough to appear righteous on the surface, making them models of hypocrisy and therefore the laughingstock of the world.”
The doctrines of Calvinism and OSAS (once saved always saved) were the exact message of the false prophets of Israel and are the message of the grace-perverting wolves of today.
SATAN said “Ye shall NOT surely die” (Gen. 3:4) which is a direct contradiction of what God had just told the man and woman – “Thou shalt surely die” if they sinned against Him (Gen. 2:17). THIS is the same exact message of “once saved always saved” or the diabolical doctrines of Calvinism. This same devil has used “ungodly men,” false teachers throughout history to teach this lie.
“…ye shall NOT surely die…” Genesis 3:4 ~Satan. Satan added “not.” Compare Genesis 2:17 and 3:4 for a blockbuster revelation. In other words, you can sin against God and you will not lose your place with God, even though He’s “Holy, holy, holy.” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8)
“…we are delivered to do all these abominations?” Jeremiah 7:10 ~false prophets.
In other words, we have our “saved” badge and are not accountable or responsible for how we live. Jesus covers all our sins no matter what! We are going to Heaven and don’t want to be bothered with the details of truly repenting and making Jesus the literal LORD and Master of our daily lives (Lk. 9:23-24; 14:33; 19:27).
“…ye shall have peace, no evil shall come upon you.” Jeremiah 23:17 ~false prophets. The false leaders of Jeremiah’s day were telling Israel that they were eternally secure in their sins, ushering them into the bowels of hell while they vainly thought they were secure in their lukewarmness and sin. They were abusing and perverting the grace of God (Jude 3-4; Titus 2:11-14; Rev. 3:15-16).
“…where is the God of judgment?” Malachi 2:17 ~false prophets. God hasn’t judged us for our sins and so He won’t in the end.
“The evil (our sins) shall not overtake nor prevent us (from entering Heaven).” Amos 9:10 ~false prophets. Our sins won’t prevent or hold us back from receiving the blessings of Heaven. We believe we are once saved always saved like our leaders have told us.
Satan has not changed (Eccl. 1:9; 1 Cor. 10:13), and neither has God (Mal. 3:6; Heb. 13:8; James 1:17). No unholy person, regardless of his past relationship with God, will enter eternal glory but rather will be cast into the lake of fire for all eternity (Ezek. 33:12-13; Heb. 12:14; Rev. 21:8, 27; 22:11; etc.).
The Bible tells us that those who teach these things are “ungodly men” no matter what they pose as. These are the very wolves in sheep’s clothing Christ warned us about (Matt. 7:15).
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4For 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 3-4
“THE EVIL SHALL NOT OVERTAKE NOR PREVENT US” (AMOS 9:10) … This is the Evil Attitude of Some Who Claim to Know Christ….
“All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword (judgment), which say, The evil (judgment for our sins) shall not overtake nor prevent us.” Amos 9:10 …..
Note here in this very important verse that the LORD points out an inner attitude among His very own people (of all generations) that has and is leading to their undoing and ultimately the eternal damnation of many. Should we hearken to this warning and learn from history? It is incumbent upon us that we understand and carefully and conscientiously heed this warning before it is too late.
This simply means and identifies the attitude that “our sin will not prevent us from entering God’s eternal kingdom.”
“The evil (our sins) shall not overtake nor prevent us (from entering Heaven).” Amos 9:10 (message of the false prophets of all generations)
Of the cult of Calvinism, Michael Bonacquisti writes:
“Calvinism is a gross heresy and a gross misinterpretation of Scripture…it is a great lie! In reality, John Calvin was a serial murderer, who was counting on his Roman Catholic infant baptism for his salvation. He never had a born again experience. He died unrepentant, not one of the Elect……John Calvin basically hijacked Augustine’s theology and claimed it as his own…..”
CALVINISM: Theology of the godless, spineless moral coward who sits around doing nothing while the world goes to hell in a hand basket. Why? It’s simple: In the delusional mind of the Calvinist, all of Christ’s commands to evangelize the lost are null and void because after all, only the predetermined, “elect” can be saved and even they have no say so in that matter. So, to the maniacal mind of the Calvinist, to obey Jesus’ command to go and preach the Gospel to others would be a waste of time.
Calvinism is not only not “biblical Christianity”, it is a gross attack on the original Gospel of Jesus and the character of a loving and just God. The origins of the cult of calvinism are disturbing to put it lightly. Its roots are cursed. It is “another gospel” and so all who espouse and promulgate it are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9). | Calvinism’s Origins and Historical Roots [podcast]
Moral cowardice sums up the average Calvinist. People who buy this package of lies (Calvinism) only do so because they want no personal responsibility in the way they conduct their personal, daily lives …. they are enemies of the cross of Christ as Paul put it (Philippians 3:18-19) They love this sinful world and the love of the Father is not in them (1 John 2:15) … think about it … if they have no free will, they are not personally responsible for any of their sins …. it’s all His fault because He pre-ordained them to live in sin…. but the Bible says “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)
“Sovereign grace” is the term used by calvinists who hide behind the lie that they have nothing to do with their relationship with God but were rather roped into it before the foundation of the world. In the demented theology of calvinism, God chose only a select few to be His His “elect” whether they like it or not and so they are forced to remain “stuck” with the LORD for all eternity. Oh, and in the diabolical doctrines of calvinism all those who aren’t the special “elect” were elected by “God” to be damned – before they had the opportunity to choose or reject Him for themselves. Now that is a doctrine of devils among many other diabolical heresies espoused by calvinists. The false doctrines of calvinism clearly reveal that their author is not a loving and just God but rather Satan himself.
In Satan’s masterpiece of DE-formed theology (Calvinism), there is the “U” of the terrible TULIP. The “U” stands for “unconditional election” where God is said to have pre-selected certain people to go to Heaven and certain to suffer eternally in hell. This is in the face of the fact that Jesus told us that He was going to “draw ALL men” to Himself when He went to that cross (John 12:32). Christ’s apostle John later told us that Jesus Christ “is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of THE WHOLE WORLD.” (1 John 2:2)
Jesus died for “the WHOLE world” – that’s everyone. So, yet you say God sent His Son to pay the price for “the WHOLE world” and yet He simultaneously ordained – before they even lived – for some to be damned??? That is a demon, not the God of the Bible.
No Free Will?
So God told His very own people to “CHOOSE you this day whom ye will serve” and yet they can’t choose? (Joshua 24:15) In other words you are saying they have no free will to choose? So, God is a lunatic for telling His own people to make a choice they couldn’t make?
So God told mankind to “CHOOSE life” and yet mankind has no free will to “choose”?
“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
— CALVINISM DEBUNKED! BUSTED! JOHN CALVIN was a murderous heretic who got his theology from a catholic (Augustine). ISM is just another extra biblical system of theology that contradicts Holy Scripture …. a completely false system of belief… “another gospel.”(Galatians 1:6-9)
When He foretold dying for the sins of mankind, WHO, HOW MANY did the Son of God tell us He was going to “draw” in order to save?
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw ALL men unto me.” John 12:32
WHY would Jesus say He was going to “draw ALL MEN” if it weren’t His intent to save “ALL MEN”?
“Jesus Christ the righteous … 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of THE WHOLE world.” 1 John 2:1-2
ALL of Calvinism is straight from hell. 2 Sam. 12:23 clearly proves that all babies go to Heaven! When David and Bathsheba’s baby died, here’s what we read in 2 Samuel 12:23: “But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.” David, a man of God, the very king of Israel told us here that he was going to go be with his now deceased infant son when he died and we know that is Heaven for the righteous.
Now, do you see yet one more of the many reasons why it’s clear that Satan himself is the author of this evil system of theology? Throughout the centuries, Satan has taken from the ranks of the true body of Christ, men who refused to obey God’s Word and were therefore easy prey for this delusional system of theology called Calvinism. You will never see a Calvinist who is a soul winner for this reason expressed above. They could care less. The Calvinist is smug and arrogant and self-righteous based on believing he is the special, chosen, “elect,” a special breed. He believes that God has respect of persons when His Word clearly states that “There is NO respect of persons with God.” (Romans 2:11) Actually, to obey Christ’s command to evangelize the world around us would contradict what the Calvinist’s theology teaches because no one can be saved or will be saved if God hasn’t somehow predetermined him to be. But the LORD’s apostle Paul told us that it was through “the foolishness of preaching” that God will “save them that believe.” And belief is clearly a choice God gives to every man (John 1:12; Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:15, etc.).
“For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.” 1 Corinthians 1:21
Can we now see how that the Calvinism sees the preaching of the cross as “foolishness”:
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:18
Being that in his distorted mindset, he has no reason to evangelize, the Calvinist dupe simply becomes the little moral coward who is simply a good church member, obeying his cult leaders like a good little patsy and making no waves with the public like Christ and His apostle did. The Calvinist is a moral coward who likes this little ease of life and hideout because it brings no suffering or persecution or reason to die to self and lose his life in this sinful world.
— THE PERSON WHO DENIES CHRIST FOR CALVIN AND HIS CAUSTIC COHORTS, HERALDS HIS SO-CALLED “CLASSIC” DEFORMED THEOLOGIANS’ WRITINGS IN BRAZEN, OPEN, AND UTTER DENIAL OF THE ONLY CLASSIC, ONLY DIVINELY AUTHORITATIVE WRITINGS – THE HOLY SCRIPTURES! THE BIBLE ITSELF IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF TRUTH FOR ALL TRUE CHRISTIANS. THE CALVINIST TRUSTS IN MERE SINFUL MEN LIKE JOHN CALVIN AND A MYRIAD OF OTHER FALSE TEACHERS WHOSE WORKS THEY READ IN LIEU OF READING AND HEEDING GOD’S WORD.
Calvin’s Cowards
The Calvinist selectively decides, against Scripture, what “sovereignty” really looks like or means. Like a bunch of little whining pansies, if you touch the evil falsehoods of deformed theology, the dupes come out in droves to defend their “right” to have no personal responsibility. They are moral cowards who hide behind the thin, temporal veneer of this unscriptural theology of sinful men and Satan himself. It’s a doctrine of devils (1 Tim. 4:1-3). You see, that’s what this evil system of theology does – it says that God does EVERYTHING “sovereignly” and so man can do nothing and therefore is not accountable. That’s exactly what Satan told the first man and woman – “Ye shall NOT surely die” if you disobey God (Gen. 2:17; 3:4). The enemy of souls promised the first man and woman that God would not judge them if they disobeyed Him (which was a choice). But God kept His Word and kicked them out of His holy presence – they were “cut off” and had to be restored by blood and their own repentance. You are fooling no one except yourself. “They that observe lying vanities (such as Calvinism) forsake their own mercies.” (Jonah 2:8)
***John Piper, John MacArthur, Chuck Swindoll, Charles Stanley, and other Calvinist wolves are real crafty deceivers who are deceiving millions of people who refuse to know God themselves. Heresies serve a divine purpose – to separate those who truly love God and those who love self and cloak themselves with this no-personal-responsibility system of delusional theology (1 Corinthians 11:19). The tares are satisfied to follow mere sinful men and will pay eternally for refusing to be “valiant for the truth” and thereby rejecting Christ (Jeremiah 9:3; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). In fact, because they do not choose to fear God and love His holy truth that He gave in His Word, God Himself has helped them along by sending them “STRONG delusion.” He has done this so that they will believe the lies and ultimately be damned. God takes it personal when people don’t seek out, embrace, believe and live by HIS Word. This is all part of the great falling away we see in 2 Thessalonians 2. See 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12.
***Deformed Theology Dupes: Calvin idolaters will be crying out on their deathbed “oh John, Mr. Calvin, please save me! help John, help!”
Their cries will go unanswered because John Calvin is not only a mere sinful man, he died an unrepentant murderer of more than 60 people and as a false teacher, a heretic.
You could attack Jesus Christ Himself and they wouldn’t dare think of defending the Son of God the way they run ever so swiftly to defend their beloved evil and murderous master, a dead heretic, John Calvin. Astounding! Delusional! Idolatrous! Adulterous! Hell bound!
One writer notes:
“It is common knowledge Calvin was personally responsible for killing scores of professed Christians who disagreed with him about doctrine. Usually about infant baptism, the trinity and transubstantiation. That doesn’t include the untold numbers tortured, imprisoned and those who had all property confiscated. Google Calvin, inquisition and you will see many references. Servetus was an interesting case because Calvin promised if Servetus ever stepped foot in Geneva he would have him killed. He later tried to say the reason he was killed was due to a civil matter instead of a religious matter. What a guy!” Alex Greystone
****Calvinism is a cult no different than Mormonism and here’s one proof: In calvinism, the Holy Bible is demoted. As far as authority goes, Calvinists place God’s Word under the extra-biblical writings of mere sinful men (Calvin and all reformed theologians and pastors and writings). Like the false leaders of Christ’s day, to Mormons and Calvinists, God’s Word is not truly final authority (Mark 7:6-9; John 8:47). For the Mormons it’s the Book of Mormon that is highest authority and for the Calvinists it’s John Calvin’s and all other reformed theology writings that are finally authority. The false teachings of reformed theology/Calvinism are clearly “another gospel” and those perpetrating this system of profound heresy are “accursed.” (2 Corinthians 11:2-5; Galatians 1:6-9)
There is NO doubt that any person teaching OSAS (once saved always saved) and the doctrines of Calvinism has a “seducing spirit” behind this “doctrine of devils.” (1 Tim. 4:1) How is this certain? – Satan is the author of this lie which guarantees that any person teaching it is under the influence of a devil (2:17; Gen. 3:4).
One of the marks of a cult (like Calvinism) is that they place the writings of mere men on the same level or above the authority of Holy Scripture. The fact that the Calvinists put John Calvin and those who bought and propagate his myths on the same level or above the words of Scripture, clearly reveals Calvinism to be a cult. It doesn’t matter if in their blindness they see this or not, it’s still the truth. John Calvin was a murderer and a brazen heretic and to place him or any other mere sinful man on the same level of authority as the Holy Spirit inspired Scriptures is a spiritual death knell.
***John Calvin’s Reign of Terror:
- He had Servetus burned at the stake on October 27, 1553,
- Gentile beheaded in 1566,
- 34 women burned at the stake after accusing them of being witches who caused a plague that had swept through Geneva in 1545,
- “Freckles” Dunant dies under torture in February 1545 without admitting to the crime of spreading the plague,
- Several men and women are apprehended including a barber and a hospital supervisor who had “made a pact with the devil” in 1545,
- 2 women executed by burning at the stake for sorcery by spreading the plague in March 7, 1545,
- Belot (an Anabaptist) chained and tortured – against infant baptism in 1545,
- 7 men executed concerning the plague outbreak in May 16, 1545,
- a child was whipped publicly for calling his mother a thief,
- a girl who struck her parents was beheaded,
- Jacques Gruet accused of writing a poster against Calvin, was arrested, tortured, then executed in July 1546,
- and the list goes on, his victims ranging in age from 16-80.
If John Calvin was Elect, then so was Hitler! 58 murders is as good as 6 million.
If you are following the teachings of Calvinism, you are following a dead, murderous heretic who was a mere sinful man. John Calvin followed the false teachings of a deranged, pagan Catholic (Augustine). You are not following Christ whatsoever if you are a Calvinist. You cannot follow Christ outside of believing and obeying “the doctrine of Christ” given in the Holy Scriptures (2 John 7-10).
The Catholic Roots of Calvinism
***CALVINISM/DEFORMED THEOLOGY IS CATHOLIC: In the 1536 edition of the Institutes of the Christian Religion, Calvin quotes Roman Catholic monk Augustine 24 times. By the 1559 edition, he quotes Augustine 400 times. Here’s just a snapshot:
•68 citations about the sacraments
•54 citations about the church
•34 citations about God’s will
•34 citations about sin
•28 citations about grace
•17 citations about predestination
One writer commented: “What the Reformers and Calvin espoused was religion, not a personal relationship with Christ. They left Catholicism but took much of it with them when they went. They established another arm of it just as the “Mormon Fundamentalists” did with “Mormonism.” They were basically a break off group of Catholics forming another branch of Catholicism.” Gwendolyn W.
The SOLE identity of His true remnant disciples is Himself – Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Savior and soon coming LORD who revealed His heart and will in His Word.
We are to be identified only with Christ and His body who gain their knowledge of God only from His written Word as taught by His Holy Spirit. We, Christ’s blood bought disciples are not even arminians … even though their doctrine is straight. We must be those who declare Christ, identity only with Him and His true followers and never move the glory from being pointed only and directly at JESUS!!!!! Col. 2
“Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.“ (1 Corinthians 10:21) … calvinism is completely false … all 5 points and there are evil spirits/devils behind this doctrine of devils 1 Tim. 4:1-3; 1 Cor 10:19-21
Divine foreknowledge is never mentioned by calvinist. In fact, in speaking with scores of them over the years, I never met one who is even aware of this Bible word and doctrinal truth – foreknowledge. God foreknows who will and who will not choose to serve Him and yet that in no way means He tampers with with anyone will. He sent Jesus so “ALL men” would be saved and that’s His clearly and repeatedly stated desire (1 Tim. 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 John 2:2; John 12:32, etc.).
Those who authentically honor God do so by honoring His Word and denouncing all religious affiliations and affinities, hating them compared to their burning love for Christ (Matt. 7:6-9; Lk. 14:26-27). These are the few that He is going to save (Lk. 12:32; 21:19; 1 Pet. 4:18).
“If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:26-27
It’s undiluted idolatry to give credence to the words of a mere man and to follow his twisted line through Scripture, denying the only final authority Teacher, the Holy Spirit (John 14:26; 16:13; 1 John 2:20, 27). Spiritual adultery occurs when we alienate the affections of our hearts away from our “FIRST love” and onto ANY other person or system of theology (Revelation 2:4-5). Father, please forgive us for our sins and quicken us by Thy holy fear in repentance!
Calvinism is not the Gospel of Jesus. You are lying against the LORD to say such. You have done exactly what the Pharisees did. You have mixed and replaced God’s pure Word with a whole system of theology that is an extra-biblical system that repeatedly contradicts known biblical truth. God is calling you to repent friend before it’s too late. Mark 7:6-9.
Calvinism is not a part of the original Gospel or the apostolic Christian faith whatsoever. The very fact that Calvinists make statements like that is proof of the brainwashing they have undergone. Such a statement is fully unfounded. Those who follow this false gospel are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 3-4)
Reformed theology is a system of theology removed from Holy Scripture which the Calvinist has obviously been steeped in without getting into God’s Word for himself but rather following the line of reasoning placed, forced, or imposed upon Scripture by the wolves who have schooled them in this evil system of theology. No one in history has ever just studied the pure Word of God, been taught by the Holy Spirit, and come away with even one of the 5 points of Calvinism. It’s a system that has to be taught to others by men and devils, just like any other antichrist cult.
It’s willing ignorance in most cases. Moral cowards who want no personal responsibility gladly buy into such a fairy tale system of lies. Also, have you ever noticed the false, demonic smile on the countenance on consummate Calvinists? After all, they have much to be proud of right…they are “God’s elect” right? What a joke! God says He hates this arrogance! Proverbs 8:13
The Calvinist is ex-ing Jesus and His holy original apostles out of his false theology … Where did they go around teaching what later became crafted, contrived, and sold as “the doctrines of grace” “reformed theology” or “the 5 points of Calvinism”???? Chapters and verses please. You are simply not following the LORD but rather the doctrines of sinful men and God is calling you to repent and truly get saved. When you do, you will bring forth the fruit of repentance which will begin with trashing this fairy tale theology you have bought into.
The moral coward – the one who refuses to die to self – will fight to the death to defend his sense of false security which he vainly imagines grants him license to live as he so chooses with no eternal consequence. This is the exact lie Satan told Eve in the Garden (Gen. 2:17; 3:4). The sinner who wants to think he is unconditionally eternally secure hides behind this diabolical lie. It is a myth, a farce, and a fairytale to believe one can get genuinely born again and then keep on or fall back into sin and still be saved (Lk. 8:13). One is self-deceived if he thinks he can keep on sinning and is still saved. OSAS inevitably gives the gullible the notion that there is no reason or responsibility to repent and confess and cease his sin (Prov. 28:13; 1 Jn. 1:7-10; 2 Cor. 7:1, etc.). Jesus is coming – ready or not. He’s coming for a Bride that is without spot or blemish …. Eph. 5:25-27
“For IF (that means it’s possible) after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. ” 2 Peter 2:20-21
If a person does not truly desire, seek after, and embrace the truth of Holy Writ, God will gladly send him a “strong delusion” so that he will believe a lie and be damned (going to hell). See 2 Thess. 2:10-12.
Have you ever read and circled the 5 “I’”‘s of Lucifer? (Isaiah 12:12-14) He wanted to reign as his own god just like those who don’t want to humble themselves in true repentance and let Jesus Christ truly be LORD over their lives. “Ye are DEAD and your life is hid with Christ in God.” (Col. 3:3) It’s time to die the death – to deny self, take up the cross (implement of death to self) and follow Christ (Lk. 9:23-24). Otherwise, we are not following Him and are on our way to eternal damnation.
After telling some eternal securist that they should immediately repent and cease teaching their diabolical lies, they said I was bringing division. But the truth is designed to and always divides the wheat from the tares. They have chosen to retain lies and are heretics according to Holy Scripture (Tit. 3:9-10). I told them they were preaching something that 1) the Bible never teaches, and 2) that the Bible repeatedly refutes. Jesus preached to many men but all left except 12 (John 6:60-67). The many who departed were divided because they were self-serving, Savior-rejecting, moral cowards who refused to simply listen and obey Jesus. The 12 were the remnant. John 6:66 says “From that time MANY of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” This clearly tells us that “disciples” or those who follow Christ, can go “back” (backslide) and no longer follow Christ. See 1 Pet. 4:18)
After reading passages like Colossians 3:5-6, which was written to God’s very people, what could possibly be clearer than that those who were once saved and who now live in sin are under God’s wrath and not His grace?
“Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:” Colossians 3:5-6
If being “CUT OFF” after knowing the LORD were not possible, why do we find this term and warning when the Holy Spirit is warning NT believers about going back into sin?
Romans 11:22 says: “Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, IFFFFFFFFFF thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be CUT OFF.”
God is love and is good towards those who are His and continue to be willing and obedient to Him (Isa. 1:19-20). The LORD is severe in His holy wrath to those who like the Jews, once knew Him and then went back into sin. This is the context of this warning and several other warnings to NT believers. God will severely/harshly and eternally judge those who fall away after knowing Him. He will cut them off from His holy kingdom in His severe condemnation upon sin that Jesus came and died for to eliminate from those who would be His. Need more examples? Read Jude 3-12 and 1 Corinthians 9:27-10:12.
In Holy Scripture, saving faith in the blood of Christ is not conveyed as a one-time, fix all. Though saved on the spot upon believing (John 6:47), that Savior told us that those who believe and are saved, can “fall away” if they cease believing/abiding in Him (Luke 8:12-13; John 15:1-6).
If perseverance is automatic then man has no free will. Calvin’s doctrine of the perseverance of the saints is a fairy tale. Why bother with this diabolical heretic? Why learn his foolish system of theology instead of simply learning God’s Word which teaches no such thing.
Justin Martyr- c. 100/114AD – c. 162/168 AD. He was another early Christian apologist (defender) of the faith and was martyred by beheading. His works represent the earliest surviving Christian apologies of notable size:
- Man acts by his own free will and not by fate. (20)
- We have learned from the prophets, and we hold it to be true, that punishments, chastisements, and rewards are rendered according to the merit of each man’s actions. Otherwise, if all things happen by fate, then nothing is in our own power. For if it be predestined that one man be good and another man evil, then the first is not deserving of praise or the other to be blamed. Unless humans have the power of avoiding evil and choosing good by free choice, they are not accountable for their actions-whatever they may be…. For neither would a man be worthy of reward or praise if he did not of himself choose the good, but was merely created for that end. Likewise, if a man were evil, he would not deserve punishment, since he was not evil of himself, being unable to do anything else than what he was made for.(21)
- But that you may not have a pretext for saying that Christ must have been crucified, and that those who transgressed must have been among your nation, and that the matter could not have been otherwise, I said briefly by anticipation, that God, wishing men and angels to follow His will, resolved to create them free to do righteousness; possessing reason, that they may know by whom they are created, and through whom they, not existing formerly, do now exist; and with a law that they should be judged by Him, if they do anything contrary to right reason: and of ourselves we, men and angels, shall be convicted of having acted sinfully, unless we repent beforehand. 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.
Of those truly saved, perseverance is not automatic but rather a daily choice. If along the way, the born again believer denies Christ, He will be denied by Christ.
“If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: IF WE DENY HIM, HE ALSO WILL DENY US.” 2 Timothy 2:12
No person in history who has been saved and then honestly began to study Holy Scripture has ever come out with the conclusions of Calvinism. It’s simply not there. The mind has to be led, conditioned, seduced, and made to believe such things as the terribly twisted TULIP of John Calvin teaches. To believe such things is to defy the LORD who bled for “ALL men,” gave us choice, and is “holy, holy, holy.” (Isa. 6:3; 1 Tim. 2:4; 2 Pet. 3:9; 1 Jn. 2:2). Then after one has been conditioned in his thinking to believe Calvin’s falsehoods, he is led to see things through the twisted mindset of Reformed theology and so he then imposes that belief system on Scripture, making God out to be a liar. This whole system teaches men how not to take God at His Word, especially the whole counsel of His Word.
The Calvinist is the moral coward who seeks to console himself while living in sin. He hides behind the teachings of a mere man, a man who was a heretic and a murderer. Sounds like Joseph Smith to me. The Calvinist does this by twisting Scripture to concoct the image of a false god who gives him assurance and security while he lives in rebellion. Now that my friend, is idolatry and spiritual adultery (Exod. 20:3-5; Eph. 5:5-7).
Anyone who believes in the myths perpetrated by reformed theology and “once saved always saved” is not a person of truth. Truth-seekers who fear God diligently search the whole of the Scriptures before drawing conclusion (Prov. 13:18). The do not rely or place the weight of their faith in mere men but instead allow God to “be true and every man a liar.” (Rom. 3:4) Such a teaching as an unconditional eternal security is nowhere to be found in God’s Word. In fact, there are volumes of warnings in God’s Word which negate the possibility of such a cliché being true.
The term “CUT OFF” in Romans 11:22 drives a death nail into the coffin of the diabolical heresy of an UN-conditional eternal security – propagated by the “ungodly men” Jude warned us about (Jude 3-4).
TO HIS OWN PEOPLE THE LORD SAYS: “IF IF IF we suffer, we shall also reign with him: IF WE DENY HIM, HE ALSO WILL DENY US.” 2 Timothy 2:12
The utter idiocy of Calvinism cannot be underestimated. Such evil and foolish logic, twisting of Scripture, and willing ignorance of its duped adherents is mind boggling. There are many examples that could be stated but let’s look at just one illustration from John Wesley of the image of a false god conveyed through the doctrines of Calvinism: “One might say to our adversary, the devil, ‘Thou fool, why dost thou roar about any longer? Thy lying in wait for souls is as needless and useless as our preaching. Hearest thou not, that God hath taken thy work out of thy hands; and that he doeth it much more effectually? Thou, with all thy principalities and powers, canst only so assault that we may resist thee; but He can irresistibly destroy both body and soul in hell! Thou canst only entice; but his unchangeable decrees, to leave thousands of souls in death, compels them to continue in sin, till they drop into everlasting burnings. Thou temptest; He forceth us to be damned; for we cannot resist his will. Thou fool, why goest thou about any longer, seeking whom thou mayest devour? Hearest thou not that God is the devouring lion, the destroyer of souls, the murderer of men” Moloch caused only children to pass though the fire: and that fire was soon quenched; or, the corruptible body being consumed, its torment was at an end; but God, thou are told, by his eternal decree, fixed before they had done good or evil, causes, not only children of a span long, but the parents also, to pass through the fire of hell, the ‘fire which never shall be quenched; and the body which is cast thereinto, being now incorruptible and immortal, will be ever consuming and never consumed, but ‘the smoke of their torment,’ because it is God’s good pleasure, ‘ascendeth up for ever and ever.’” [From the sermon Free Grace, Preached at Bristol, in the year 1740]
THE DOCTRINES OF CALVINISM TURN “GOD” INTO THE DEVIL. VIOLATING THE THIRD COMMANDMENT BY USING THE VERY NAME OF THE LORD IN VAIN, CALVINISTS ATTRIBUTE TO THE ALMIGHTY THE ATTRIBUTES HE TOLD US ARE OF SATAN HIMSELF. THIS CRUEL, FORCEFUL, CUNNING, BIASED, RESPECTER OF PERSONS, PARTIAL, IMMORAL, FALSE GOD OF CALVINISM IS A DEMON AND NOT GOD AT ALL.
Studying with honest heart the truths of Holy Scripture thoroughly dismantles this evil, mind-twisting, Christ-despising system of theology. Here’s a brief historical sketch of the murderous dealings of this 16th century maniac who is followed by many an idolater today who vainly believe they are saved.

The “T” of the Terrible Truth-Despising TULIP
The TULIP is the acronym that was crafted to explain the doctrines of Reformed Theology/Calvinism. Each letter stands for one of the five foundational doctrinal beliefs upon which Calvinism stands. Calvinistic adherents believe and espouse these doctrines. All five phony, pathetic points of this unbiblical system of theology are interrelated. This means that each one stands or falls on the validity of the other points. The very first point of the five points of Calvinism is ”Total Depravity” which is defined in Calvinism as the total inability of sinful men to respond in obedience to God when He calls them. In other words, they teach that men cannot obey or do what God told them to do because they have no will. Now, at this point, if you are a sane person, stop laughing and keep reading. 😉 Contrary to the devilish doctrine of “Total Depravity,” man is not so sinful by nature that he cannot make a decision/choose. It’s called inability, where reformed demonology teaches that man cannot obey what God commanded him to do, which is an indictment upon the Almighty. The truth-seeker need go no further than this very first of the five points of Calvinism to see that this whole system of theology is false. Clearly, the false god of Calvinism is not the one true God presented in Holy Scripture.
Free will involves the ability to choose life or death (Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:16; Romans 6:16, etc.). It seems more than obvious that if the person deceived by the false teachings of Reformed Theology hadn’t been poisoned by Calvinistic teachers, that person would never ask questions concerning whether or not man has free will. It’s obvious and self-evident that man has been given free will. Any small child knows that – it takes a brainwashing to be convinced otherwise. If man had no choice to exercise the will God gave him, then why would the LORD tell man to “choose”? Dare we call God a fool? “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)
CALVINISM WARNING: “ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (license to sin), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 4
The so-called “doctrines of grace” are “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness” or a license for sinning in the hearts of those who trade the truth for this lie (Jude 3-4). Jude tells us that such must be earnestly contended against and exposed for what it is. When the Calvinist is told that he has nothing – not one iota of involvement – in appropriating and remaining in the salvation of Christ, he loses all fear of God and is inevitably not going to be vigilant, watching for the soon return of Christ, or being holy as Christ is holy. “Lasciviousness” is a sin and is the obvious outcome of the teachings of Calvinism which produce just the opposite of the fear of the LORD and obedience to Christ which is what Scripture teaches.
John Piper: Satanic High Priest of
Indoctrination and Initiation
into the Cult of Calvin
WOLF WARNING: Beware of the many teachers of Calvinism/Reformed Theology in this late hour. These are the very wolves the Word of God specifically prophesied would be on the scene in the last hour “turning the grace of God into lasciviousness” with their perverted “doctrines of grace” as they call it (Jude 3-4). Most popular, limelight authors and radio personalities teach this evil system of theology which depicts the image of a false god. For example: John Piper, R.C. Sproul, Charles Swindoll, Paul Washer, James White, Albert Mohler, Kevin DeYoung, Ligon Duncan, Mark Driscoll, J.I. Packer (James Innell Packer), Wayne Grudem, C. J. Mahaney, Matt Chandler, Justin Taylor, John MacArthur, John Calvin, and Alistair Begg, to name but a few.
Wolves in sheep’s clothing like John MacArthur, Vodie Baucham, and Paul Washer, etc. preach repentance and yet these frauds are all calvinists and so they believe that no one can make the free will choice to obey Jesus’ command to repent. To call this convoluted delusionment would be an understatement. Run from these calvinist warlocks! | Calvinism is Heresy
Matt Chandler’s Diabolical Conversion to Calvinism
In the video below, Matt Chandler openly admits to being converted over to all five false points of Calvinism. First off, this is a staged, intentionally created video to sell others on the “virtues” of the diabolical system of lies known as “Calvinism.” In short, it is a sales job and nothing more and it’s not one that is selling people on the Word of truth found on the pages of Holy Scripture but rather it’s an indoctrination of a system of theology that contradicts and twists Holy Scripture to the destruction of those who buy into it (2 Peter 3:16). You will witness firsthand the diabolical workings of John Piper, master Calvinism initiator, high priest of this craft of Calvinism, as he demonstrates his success in sucking yet another younger pastor into the cult of Calvinism. His opening question to Matt Chandler is “How did Calvinism come about?” In other words, “How did you come to believe in the doctrines of Calvin?” Not “How did you come to believe in the doctrines of Holy Scripture?” but rather “How did you come to trust the doctrines of Calvinism?”
Chandler readily admits that “There are texts which I never knew what to do with.” And that’s where the Calvin worship cultists come in to convert people’s minds over using partial truths and mere portions of Scripture to the exclusion of the whole context and full-counsel of God’s Word. For example, they major on Romans 9 while intentionally ignoring Romans 11:20-22 which is part of the same passage.
Matt Chandler is the pastor of The Village Church located in Highland Village, Texas (in the Dallas area). Below is a video of Matt Chandler being interviewed by false teacher John Piper who is a 5-point Calvinist. In this video we see firsthand Matt Chandler’s apostasy into the dark doctrines of Calvinism. Also, see commentary beneath the video. As you view this video, note that there is little mention of Scripture. Instead, Chandler’s “warm blanket” is based on touchy, feely, subjective elements no different than Mormonism and how they determine “truth” by the warm feeling in their bosom. Amazing apostasy! So, Matt Chandler came to believe and espouse Calvinism based on something other than Holy Writ. While he mentions “Romans 9,” he refused to mention another integral part of that same passage, which would be Romans 11:20-22. Romans 11:20-22 clearly reveals something that in and of itself explodes the lies of Calvinism – the fact that covenant people of God were “cut off” from Him and that we can also be “cut off.” It’s no less than a divine threat and promise to all who currently know Him.
CHANDLER AND PIPER, TWO BRAZEN DECEIVERS, CLEARLY WANT THOSE LISTENING TO BUY INTO THEIR CALVINISM, BASED ON THEIR SUBJECTIVE, TOUCHY-FEELY, PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND NOT ON SCRIPTURE!
It’s obvious from this video interview that John Piper is a high priest of Satan’s Calvinism. It’s clear that John Piper had been coaxing the younger Matt Chandler to buy into this Calvinism package. Matt Chandler makes it clear that he had to be converted over to Calvinism and he was by John Piper.
In the video, Matt says something that many have also stated. Chandler says that coming to a full belief in Calvinism was “a wrestle” to him. In other words, he had to wrestle with believing it. Why? It’s simple – so many truths contradict this system of lies called Calvinism or Reformed Theology. The diligent, Berean Bible student will see right through this deceitful attempt to subvert the truth (Acts 15:24; 17:11; Titus 1:11; 3:11).
Watch Matt Chandler’s mannerisms and how he is acting. He’s clearly just trying to please his elder, Piper.
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try (put to the test) the spirits whether they are of God: because MANY false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1
Folks, just because someone can seems convinced or convicted about something, does NOT make that something true. Isn’t it time we begin to obey God’s command to “Believe NOT every spirit” and to “try” which means to test the spirits? That’s what the “noble” disciples at Berea did and God commended them for it. When they heard even the apostle Paul preach, they tested what he said against the written Word.
“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Acts 17:11
In this video, Chandler stumbles over his words. He uses the signature add-ins like “I think” and………. But Matt, who cares what YOU believe or think? What did God say in His Word? Has He not spoken? Yes He sure has – “I have talked to you from heaven.” (Exodus 20:22) Matt Chandler is not simply giving literal Scripture and letting Scripture teach those who would listen to him but rather he wants them to buy into some system of theology because he is now coming out of the closet as having espoused it. In fact, Chandler readily admits to not coming straight out in the open about telling his audience at The Village Church that he is teaching Calvinism. But what is there to hide Matt Chandler? Didn’t God boldly give us His truth, the light of His blessed Word? What darkness is Matt Chandler hiding? What is he afraid of? Is Matt afraid that he will lose church members since there is so much expose’ on the doctrines of John Calvin?
DID YOU NOTE THAT CHANDLER GIVES US THE ALL-TOO-TYPICAL SIGNATURE STATEMENT OF DECEIVED CALVINISTS WHO TEACH THAT THE GOSPEL AND CALVINISM ARE ONE AND THE SAME? CONCERNING CALVINISM, CHANDLER SAYS “IT’S WHAT OUR FAITH IS.” IF SUCH WERE TRUE, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT GOD DIDN’T GET IT RIGHT UNTIL MURDEROUS HERETIC JOHN CALVIN CAME ALONG SOME 16 CENTURIES AFTER JESUS AND HIS HOLY APOSTLES WERE HERE AND GAVE US “THE FAITH ONCE DELIVERED TO THE SAINTS” IN THE NEW TESTAMENT CANON OF SCRIPTURE (JUDE 3-4). SO, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT ALL MEN WERE STILL IN DARKNESS, EVEN AFTER JESUS, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD CAME. SUCH A CONCLUSION WOULD MEAN THAT GOD DIDN’T GIVE US HIS TRUE GOSPEL THROUGH MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN, AND PAUL, BUT RATHER THROUGH JOHN CALVIN WHO DERIVED HIS TEACHINGS THROUGH A DELUSIONAL CATHOLIC PRIEST’S WRITINGS (AUGUSTINE) AND MADE A SYSTEM OF THEOLOGY OUT OF THEM WHICH WE NOW KNOW AS CALVINISM.
Matt Chandler comes out and admits that his people “got over the hump” and now have bought the Calvinism package. What “hump”? The hump of truth is what people have to jump over to believe such things as are taught in Calvinism! In other words, you have to jump over mountains of Bible truth to believe such an evil indictment against our LORD God which is what Calvinism is.
Matt Chandler is very seductive and subversive in his use of Proverbs 14:12. He uses this Bible verse to teach that NOT believing Calvinism is “a way which seemeth right” but will lead to “death.” Wow! Do you now begin to see just how delusional Calvinists are in seeking to marry that system of diabolical lies with the true Gospel? The Bible tells us that those who do not receive “the love of the truth” are turned over to be deceived. The person who buys the Scripture-violating teachings of Calvinism has hated the LORD and His truth and has been sent by Him “strong delusion” so that he would believe this system of lies (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). Satan himself and damnation are also mentioned in this passage (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).
It’s obvious that John Piper and Matt Chandler are so very arrogant that they are convinced that their audience should take THEIR word for it and simply buy into Calvinism. After all, they did. But who are Piper and Chandler but mere men, dust, and in their very best state, “altogether vanity.” (Psalms 39:4-5)
“Let God be true and EVERY man a liar.” Romans 3:4
Only a wolf would seek to lead people to believe something based on the idea that they (the wolves) have believed that something. The true servant of Christ simply preaches the pure Word of God and lets the hearer believe upon the LORD Himself by His Word and Holy Spirit.
“Wrestled, wrestled, wrestled, wrestled, just wrestled, once those lenses get put on you, you can’t read your Bible.” But just WHO put those lenses on Chandler if those colored glasses are colored with that which does not align with Holy Scripture? The only answer would be Satan who is the father of all lies .. The Bible teaches us that “seducing spirits (devils) and doctrines of devils“ go hand in hand (1 Timothy 4:1)
…in this video of Matt Chandler’s apostasy into Calvinism, he speak of the “lens” or colored glasses that get put on someone who is seduced by the evil devils that coax their truth-rejecting souls into believing in the “doctrines of devils” such as Calvinism (1 Timothy 4:1-3). Note how he presents this as a conversion over into this whole system of belief known as Calvinism. It’s a demonic conversion for sure.
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits (devils), and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
Did you know that the devil has “doctrines”? Here in the above passage of Holy Scripture, the apostle Paul reveals the connection between “Seducing spirits” and “doctrines of devils.” What could possibly be clearer than the fact that there are “doctrines of devils” and people are brought into believing them by “seducing spirits” or devils? In this video interview we see Matt Chandler’s declination into the dismal, dark doctrines of John Calvin, a known murderous heretic.
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4For 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 3-4
If you understand Calvinism, you understand that it leads to futility. Why? Because when a person is seduced by devils to believe that he has NOTHING at all to do with participation in being saved, that person then tosses responsibility to the wind, does not fear and obey God. Satan loves this masterpiece he created, beginning in the Garden of creation. Get the book Lie of the Ages to delve into the origins of Calvinism and OSAS (once saved always saved) theology.
NO TRUE BIBLE BELIEVING CHRISTIAN IDENTIFIES HIMSELF AS A “CALVINIST” NOR FOLLOWS ANYTHING BUT THE PURE WORD OF GOD. THIS MEANS HE SEES CALVINISM FOR THE FILTHY, DIABOLICAL SYSTEM OF LIES THAT IT REALLY IS.
What is the difference between those who follow Joseph Smith (delusional founder of Mormonism) and those who follow John Calvin? – Nothing! They are both following the teachings of mere sinful men in lieu of God’s Word and are therefore hell bound antichrists.
Only a demon and a depraved, apostate heart could do such a thing!
“‘Do not say you are of Paul or Apollos.’ (1 Cor. 1) To call ourselves a ‘Calvinist’ is to place Calvin above Christ. ‘Calvinism’ is a cult, whenever we follow a man above Christ we have a cult.” Gwendolyn Wehage
The Calvinist ex-es Jesus and His holy original apostles out of his false theology. At any cost, everything must bow to the so-called “doctrines of grace” and “Five points of Calvinism.” The very Word of God MUST be ignored, spit upon, twisted, defied, and crassly passed over in order to keep the tradition of Calvinism. This is that cultic “spirit of antichrist” working in those who have given themselves over to this system of lies. ….. Where did they go around teaching what later become crafted, contrived, and sold as “the doctrines of grace” “Reformed theology” or “the 5 points of Calvinism”???? Chapters and verses please. You are simply not following the LORD but rather the doctrines of sinful men and God is calling you to repent and truly get saved. When you do, you will bring forth the fruit of repentance which will begin with trashing this fairytale theology you have bought into.
Calvinism does not instill the fear of God in anyone which should be a huge red flag. Without the fear of the LORD, no one can know Jesus and remain in Christ. Also, it’s obvious that Reformed theology actually promotes ease and lukewarmness (Rev. 3:15-16).
Not even one of the five points of Calvinism comes from Scripture. In fact, each one of them is the opposite of what Holy Scripture teaches. Calvinism is a mockery of Christ and His blessed Gospel.
Mormonism and Calvinism are very similar ….. Calvinism is a cult where all of the adherents are taught a whole system of lies. They are taught “reasons” why God didn’t really mean what He said. The whole aim of Calvinism is to twist, corrupt, and pervert the LORD’s words. In the face of Bible passage after Bible verse, the Calvinist, like the well-trained cultist he is, has preposterous “reasons” why God didn’t mean what He plainly said in His Word. Now friends, that is the work of the enemy of the Almighty. Just as he did in the Garden with the first woman, so he does today, adding to, taking away, and twisting divine truth.

“Of the eternal election, by which God has predestinated some to salvation, and others to destruction … The predestination by which God adopts some to the hope of life, and adjudges others to eternal death, no man who would be thought pious ventures simply to deny…By predestination we mean the eternal decree of God, by which he determined with himself whatever he wished to happen with regard to every man. All are not created on equal terms, but some are preordained to eternal life, others to eternal damnation; and, accordingly, as each has been created for one or other of these ends, we say that he has been predestinated to life or to death. (Calvin Institutes 3:21:5: 06 emphasis mine)
“Creatures are so governed by the secret counsel of God, that nothing happens but what he has knowingly and willingly decreed.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 1, Chapter 16, Paragraph 3)
“…the counsels and wills of … See Moremen are so governed as to move exactly in the course which he has destined.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 1, Chapter 16, Paragraph 8)
“thieves and murderers, and other evildoers, are instruments of divine providence, being employed by the Lord himself to execute judgments which he has resolved to inflict.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 1, Chapter 17, Paragraph 5)
“The first man fell because the Lord deemed it meet that he should.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 23, Paragraph 8).
“Creatures are so governed by the secret counsel of God, that nothing happens but what he has knowingly and willingly decreed.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 1, Chapter 16, Paragraph 3)…
“that God not only foresaw the fall of the first man, and in him the ruin of his posterity; but also at his own pleasure arranged it” John Calvin (Institutes of the Christian Religion” Book III, Chapter 23, Paragraph 7)
“I freely acknowledge my doctrine to be this: that Adam fell, not only by the permission of God, but by His very secret council and decree; and that Adam drew all his posterity with himself, by his fall, into eternal damnation” (Secret Providence, pg. 267.) -John Calvin
“At this point in particular the flesh rages when it hears that the predestination to death of those who perish is referred to the will of God.” -John Calvin (Calvin’s New Testament Commentaries: Romans and Thessalonians, p.208)
“It could be asked here, if God does not want any to perish, why do so many in fact perish? My reply is that no mention is made here of the secret decree of God by which the wicked are doomed to their own ruin, but only of His loving-kindness as it is made known to us in the Gospel. There God stretches out His hand to all alike, but He only grasps those (in such a way as to lead to Himself) whom He has chosen before the foundation of the world.” -John Calvin (Calvin’s New Testament Commentaries: Hebrews and I and II Peter, p.364)
“We also note that we should consider the creation of the world so that we may realize that everything is subject to God and ruled by his will and that when the world has done what it may, nothing happens other than what God decrees.” -John Calvin (Acts: Calvin, The Crossway Classic Commentaries, p.66)
“First, the eternal predestination of God, by which before the fall of Adam He decreed what should take place concerning the whole human race and every individual, was fixed and determined.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.121)
“God had no doubt decreed before the foundation of the world what … He would do … with every one of us and had assigned to everyone by His secret counsel his part in life.” -John Calvin (Calvin’s New Testament Commentaries: Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians, p.20)
“…the reason why God elects some and rejects others is to be found in His purpose alone. … before men are born their lot is assigned to each of them by the secret will of God. … the salvation or the destruction of men depends on His free election.” -John Calvin (Calvin’s New Testament Commentaries: Romans and Thessalonians, p.203)
“Everything is controlled by God’s secret purpose, and nothing can happen except by his knowledge and will.” -John Calvin (The Institutes of Christian Religion, Bk. 1, Ch. 16, Sect. 3)
“What we must prove is that single events are ordered by God and that every event comes from his intended will. Nothing happens by chance.” – John Calvin (The Institutes of Christian Religion, Book I, Ch. 16, Sect. 4)
“When he uses the term permission, he means that the will of God is the supreme and primary cause of everything, because nothing happens without his order of permission.” -John Calvin (The Institutes of Christian Religion, Book I, Ch. 16, Sect. 8)
“He has plenty of reasons for comfort as he realises that the devil and all the ungodly are reined in by God, so that they cannot conceive, plan or carry out any crime, unless God allows it, indeed commands it. They are not only in bondage to him, but are forced to serve him. It is the Lord’s prerogative to enable the enemy’s rage and to control it at will, and it is in his power to decide how far and how long it may last, so that wicked men cannot break free and do exactly what they want….” -John Calvin (The Institutes of Christian Religion, Book I, Ch.17, Sect. 10)
“First, it must be observed that the will of God is the cause of all things that happen in the world; and yet God is not the author of evil.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.169)
“Whatever things are done wrongly and unjustly by man, these very things are the right and just works of God. This may seem paradoxical at first sight to some….” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.169)
“But where it is a matter of men’s counsels, wills, endeavours, and exertions, there is greater difficulty in seeing how the providence of God rules here too, so that nothing happens but by His assent and that men can deliberately do nothing unless He inspire it.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, pp.171-172)
“Does God work in the hearts of men, directing their plans and moving their wills this way and that, so that they do nothing but what He has ordained?” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.174)
“For the man who honestly and soberly reflects on these things, there can be no doubt that the will of God is the chief and principal cause of all things.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.177)
“But of all the things which happen, the first cause is to be understood to be His will, because He so governs the natures created by Him, as to determine all the counsels and the actions of men to the end decreed by Him.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.178)
“But it is quite frivolous refuge to say that God otiosely permits them, when Scripture shows Him not only willing but the author of them.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.176,)

“I didn’t know Calvinists believed that. I remember when I was first saved and I was reading the bible continually- then some started sharing Calvinist teachings and I “knew” they were wrong because the Bible didn’t say what they were preaching. Throughout the years I’ve heard some share these falsities and I knew they were wrong – when we know our bibles and believe what it says we won’t be deceived.” Sherry J.
“Humm. Wow!! It truly is hard for me to keep silent when I see heresy. I just have to say something.It is very seducing to believe that it is all God’s fault not our own.Thank you Jesus for continually showing me the truth. I almost bought into this lie. I do say almost. Thank you Jesus for protecting me. NO, GOD IS NOT A LIAR!! When He said ALL He means ALL!!! Everyone has been, is getting and will get a chance to repent….” CJ
“John Calvin is in the same boat as many theologians, from Luther to Smith to MacArthur. I mean, when you reject any of the scripture or explain it away with private interpretations, you are really taking the authority away from God and claiming it as your own. One says repentance is not necessary one says only faith, another says baptism is nothing and many say all you have to do is believe. Let God be right and every man a liar.” Clint Stone
“The Calvinist dogma of TULIP is 1 of implicating God in sin. According to them man doesn’t make his own choices, God makes our choices for us. This would include the sinner…
God is holy. he is absolved of all evil in the world, and has nothing to do with sin, directly or vicariously through us.
It is because of our free will the evil happens and God is absolved from it, because it is our choice not his.
Calvinism is a threat. Ultimately, this false theology would have you believe that God is a God who is playing chess with Himself, deciding who He loves best out of all His equally sinful chess pieces, like a kid playing favorites.” Marion Mills

“This is a picture of the “hypercalvinist.” An enormous difference from true Reformed Calvinistic theology (which is what all of church history has taught). If these guys are going to speak out against this in a delusional stereotypical way then they should stop setting up straw men to burn down. Are there hypercalvinists? Yep…but not to the degree these with false Arminian theology make a claim for.”
Reply:
Shawn, “all of church history” did not teach the falsehoods of de-formed theology … in fact, what of the truth of the 27 books of God’s NT Word needed to be RE-formed or formed again? That’s an indictment against the Almighty who told us that “ALL things that pertain unto life and godliness” are found in His Word – in other words, it’s complete (2 Peter 1:3-4, 19-21).
No type of Calvinism is biblical…. that’s like saying that “white magic” is okay… when in reality it’s more insidiously diabolical because it poses as being innocent when it’s laced with deadly lies.
Shawn, I am not an Arminian, just a Bible believer. This one verse alone cancels all possibility that Calvinism could be truth: “There is NO NO NO respect of persons with God.” (Romans 2:11) – Now, you must choose to deny Christ by rejecting His truth or to repent and believe the original Gospel which strongly opposes the Augustinian falsehoods of Calvinism and exposes them as being false.

“Hi! Thank you so much for writing the article you did about The Idiocy of Calvinism. I read more than half of it to my family last night and we had a wonderful time in study, prayer, and discovery. It opened my eyes very much, as I previously didn’t understand what exactly was wrong with the evil TULIP conception. Thank you very much for writing this article and I hope that it helps others as well. God Bless you brother!” Abigail S.

“I was greatly blessed and brought to a renewed repentance by reading the article on the false teaching that promotes self love but am flabbergasted by the attempt to refute Calvinism, an imperfect system at best, using the verse about God not being a respecter of persons! Whoever wrote that article is under strong delusion as to the meaning of this scripture. It clearly means that God’s choosing of one person over another is not based upon any supposed qualities God sees in the person themselves but in God’s own inscrutable will. It is a mystery to all who trust in the Savior why they should have been chosen and others passed over. It crucifies human pride and gives all the glory to God! I sincerely pray that your thoughts would be conformed to those of Christ in this vital matter. Let’s all seek to let every word of God’s revelation have its full impact, even when it challenges our presuppositions and systems. Respectfully,” Alan

The Greek word which was correctly translated as “ALL” in English in the Bible, means …“ALL.” So God wills that some perish? 2 Peter 3:9 No He wishes none to perish! That’s why He gave His only begotten Son for the “whole world.” (1 John 2:2; John 3:16, etc.)
It’s a “mystery”?
How is this divine revelation a “mystery” other than if a demon has blinded our minds because we chose to buy into a false theology?
“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.” 2 Peter 3:9
DID JESUS TELL US HE WAS GOING TO GO TO THE CROSS AND DRAW SOME OR ALL MEN? – “And I, if I be lifted up (on the cross) from the earth, will draw ALL men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die.” John 12:32-33
So Jesus died for “all men” and yet didn’t intend to save “all men”? John 12:32
“Therefore as by the offence of one JUDGMENT CAME UPON ALL MEN to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one THE FREE GIFT CAME UPON ALL MEN unto justification of life.” Romans 5:18
The doctrines of Calvinism clearly and brazenly call the very Son of God a liar. Before going to the cross to die for “the sins of the WHOLE world,” Jesus said: “And I, if I be lifted up (on the cross) from the earth, will draw ALL men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die.” (John 12:32-33)
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to ALL (not some) men.” Titus 2:11
“Well sir, I’d say in true humility, that this word is an atomic bomb that blasts this doctrine into dust and leaves nothing but any who would still side with Calvinism are left standing without weapons in a thick fog of smoke… Amen!” Tim Smith
“I used to think the same way (OSAS/Calvinism). I encourage you to seek Him and His truth. He showed me that I was wrong and deceived and I repented!” Gloria S.
Alex Greystone writes:
“Calvinists use an extremely poor and outright false bit of exegesis. The primary meaning of elko (Greek word for “draw”) is draw and in the context of John 6:44 and John 12:32 it means “to draw mentally and morally” according to Moulton’s Analytical Greek lexicon. Notice the poor logic and doctrinally driven hermeneutic: according to the Calvinist ALL men are dragged– but of course (somehow) they are not all saved!!! And then amusingly you try to rub this in the face of Arminians as some sort of proof text for irresistible grace!!!! Great example of Reformed exegesis! WOW! :)”
“Brother Todd! Thanks for exposing the “another gospel/another Jesus” heresy of Calvinism. I’m sure you’ve come under fire down through the years, but GREATER is He that is in you than he that is in the world…I’m on the front lines with ya! God bless!” ~Eric N.

“Wait, hold up. He didn’t create sin. What Bible said that? Isaiah 45:7 says God creates evil.”
Reply:
God only creates evil if you will in the sense that HE allows all to choose good or evil, darkness or light (John 3:19-21).
Typically, calvinists purposely refuse to look at the full counsel of God’s Word and hyper interpret, over emphasize, go to seed on 1 verse here and there, while ignoring the whole counsel of Scripture, as they are hell bent on promulgating certain heretical misinterpretations.
See Deut. 30:19; Josh. 24:15; James 1:13-15…..
In what way does God Create Evil? What does this mean? Well, as in all cases, the whole of Holy Scripture must be used to interpret the rest of it. Isaiah 45:7 Examined
“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” Isaiah 45:7
The cultist of calvinism are quick to use this verse to “confirm” their heresy that God ordains and desire some for destruction. The fact that God gave man free will does not mean that when evil happens that God ordained it. Only a calvinist heretic could conclude such. Like any cult, they ignore volumes of Scripture to conclude their delusions. Here’s an example of a passage they pay no attention to:
“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
At the core, the calvinist is a moral coward who doesn’t want to believe God has given men free will because the calvinist simply doesn’t and will not truly repent and obey God. In his fairy tale delusion, the calvinist blames, indicts the Almighty for the most heinous of crimes, sins. He has created a god in his own sinful image. The calvinist ignores the above passage which plainly reveals that when their is sin, it’s man freely choosing to do that sinning, not God who is “Holy, holy, holy” and tempts no man to sin (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8).
“God cannot be tempted with” evil (James 1:13) and yet God created evil in the sense that He gave the angels and mankind the choice to serve or rebel against Him (Isaiah 45:7).
Notice that Isaiah 45:7 uses the word “evil” and not sin. Sin came about by Satan and man, not God. “Evil” refers to the ability God allows men to commit, hence “the tree of the knowledge of good AND evil.” (Genesis 2:17) God didn’t create sin, He created evil or the ability for men to choose evil over good. The LORD made it possible for man to disobey Him, to sin.
The Testimony of Adam H. who was Delivered from Calvinism:
“I do not believe in the Calvinist doctrine of total depravity. I see unsaved people performing righteous deeds. I see souls coming to Christ because they were convinced of the truth and CHOSE to believe. I see God, in both the Old and New Testaments, offer mankind choices and I see men making choices. I see the word “IF” used a lot in conjunction with declared judgment.
Having said all of that, I DO see original sin. If anyone would like to discuss that, I would like to show you what I see in the Bible. I AM open to being wrong, as long as you hold yourself up to the same standard of evidence you ask of me. That and intellectual honesty is a must. By the way, I hate Calvin’s evil doctrine. I was a Calvinist, until I read the Bible without his filter on my eyes! Thanks.”
Of Calvinism, one commentator notes:
“A Calvinist is like Grover Dill from A Christmas Story. He’s the Elect, he’s on the side of his bully “god” and looks on with sadistic glee while this “god” exercises his ineffable will on the masses of the reprobate. If you dare ask the Calvinist “why?” he will stick his nose high in the air (such is the innate righteousness of the Elect) and tell you simply that “God’s in charge!” and that “It’s wickedness to ask why!” You can’t win with a Calvinist. There’s a good reason why England threw the Puritans OUT; they were a cancerous tumor on the body politic.”
