There is no verse in a BIBLE that says that "free will was lost", and later "restored".
Most of the "hyper Calvinist'" ive dealt with, teach that Free Will isn't .
There is no verse that says unsaved man has free will. but there is a verse that says unsaved man is a slave to sin, cannot do the law of God, cannot please God and thinks the things of God are foolish. Doesn't sound like free will to me.
You define yourself as Calvin's Theology.
So, that is not my "accusation", that is your Mind.
Wrong again oh prevaricating one. I said I accept the biblical foundations of the five points of Calvin, not his whole theology which I cannot speak to.
Im a Christian.
God makes : Christians.
Calvin makes : People like you who need to tell us all, that you are a CALVINIST.
Calvin is so proud of you, while God isn't.
Do you need double doors to fit your swelled ego out? When did you become the decider of who pleases god or not. YOu pretend
that one who accepts common names of identification with certain points of theology are slaves to that, Shame on you for your deception.
I am a follower of Jesus and you know what it means when someone says they are a five pointer or three pointer or pre trib or post trib or amillenial etc. You just are more interested in slandering believers than having a genuine discussion where you actually use integrity and defend your positions with Scripture.
1 John 4:14, says that.... "God sent Jesus to save the World".
Calvin lied about that verse and says..>"no, God sent Jesus to save the elect, pre-destined".
Paul said.."God was in Christ in the world, not counting people's sins again them".. 2 Corinthians 5:19
Calvin lied and said..>"Its only the ELECT's SIN that Jesus was sent to forgive"....
So you are a universalist then? If God no longer imputes sin to the world then all are saved. but if you accepted the whole counsel of God instead of your myopic view, you would know that was sent to save.
John 3:18
King James Version
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
God says you are wrong!
See that "WHOSOEVER"?.....that means ALL who will believe.....
And that is "God sent Jesus to save the WORLD"...
Calvin lies and says.....>"NO, not the WORLD.. not ALL.. .not WHOSOEVER will Believe....but only the ELECT who are chosen (caused) to believe".
See Calvin's lie? This is TULIP .
Its the devil's lie.
Not a good idea to believe it and its worse for you, when you teach this lie.
Yes all who berlieve will be saved. That is a simple statement of fact and not a statement of free will.
but Gods Word also says this:
John 6:44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent
me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
There isn't a verse in a Bible says that a person has no free will. And there isn't a verse in a Bible says that a sinner can't of their own free choice, choose Christ as their Savior.
The verse says..>"All that believe in Jesus, shall be saved".....>It does not day......"Calvin said that if God chooses you to believe, then you will".
John 6:44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent
me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:37
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise
cast out.
See you can't come to Jesus unless the father gave you to Jesus and drew you to HIm.
Also those folks:
Ephesians 1:4
According as he hath
chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
I was chosen to be in HIm before God even created the world! I was going to be saved in time because God chose me! I do not deserve it but Grace gave it.
Romans 8:8
King James Version
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
You need to read Gods word more.
