What you decide to do in the next 30 seconds is not "God's doing", its your doing.

What Adam decided to do was Adam's decision, not God's will.

See, once the deception that is.. "= God caused you to do it", is believed, then personal accountability is removed, and that will never happen.
You are in charge of your behavior, not God.

The thing that Calvin's disciples can never understand, is that if God caused you to do it, then God can't hold you accountable.
Yet He does..., and thus endeth the Hyper-Calvinism nonsense.
What is Calvins? And hyper-calvins?

Good subject. And documentation.


Yes, some are predestined and chosen before foundation of the world. We're talking about the Election. They were judged in first earth age. Jesus can intervene in lifes of the election.
Documentation, Romans chapter 8 and Ephesians chapter 1.

Revelation chapter 7.

Four Angels are holding back the four winds. Why??. Untill 144,000 and election are sealed. Then the end comes. We're in latter times.

First peter chapter 1. The Elect are predestined. Thier sanctified. They have holy Spirit.

The position for election can't be voluntary. God chose the election in first earth age. We're in second earth age.

Romans chapter 9
Vessels for destruction.
These are reprobates. They're cast away, rejected.
They won't repent and change from their wicked ways.

Galatians chapter 5.

The Spirit is in conflict with the flesh.

The election have Holy Spirit.
Reprobates Walk in the flesh. It ends in destruction.

2 Timothy chapter 3. Tells us about reprobates. Habitual sinners who won't repent and don't care. There hell bound.

3td group. These are spiritually Dead. They sat in church All there life and are bibillcy illiterate. Our Great grandfather's, and ancestors. They're in sheol. It's holding place for the spiritually and wicked until judgment Day. The spiritually dead will be taught during milliumum by priests, revelation chapter 20. This group has good chance at eternal life on judgement Day. Jesus is fair.

We have 3 groups.

If anyone has trouble understanding. I suggest studying with shepherds chapel. They have videos on YouTube.

Election
Spirit of slumber
Gates of Hell

Peace.

John Calvin, a lying demon possessed heretic, created a theology whereby The Cross is misrepresented, denied, and blasphemed.

What Calvin did was create HIS Theology, that says....>>"The Cross is not for everyone, its only for those i have defined as "predestined".

So, that is the root "doctrine of devils" that is the core of Evil Calvinism.

And once His Teaching gets your mind, you will then find yourself as HIS Mouthpiece, teaching HIS Theology, and you will BELIEVE its True.

A.) Calvinism is a "doctrine of Devils'..... Hebrews 13:9. Its a CREATION.... its a FALSE Theology, that was CREATED by Calvin, not by Paul, and not by the Bible, and absolutely NOT by the Holy Spirit.

People with total free will do not exist, that is a myth. Everyone makes choices according to what they have experienced in this life.
God is the best teacher but we are not very good learners, so God must reveal Himself to their inner man of the Spirit, which is why you must first be born again of God in order to believe in and follow Christ, as only such people can be successfully taught to come to Christ.

Proof is in the history of the world and what men do is generally evil. A man's imagination is evil from his youth God says.
Genesis 8:21
And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.

So then get on board with what God testifies of men and you will see salvation is of the LORD.
Evil men continually reject Him and His ways.
The only reason you do good, is due to the Spirit of God working in your life, and it is a good thing to believe in His Son.


John 6
41 The Jews then [g]complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” 42 And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, [h]“Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who [i]has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes [j]in Me has everlasting life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”


44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who [i]has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.

What this is saying, Only those God has taught come to Christ and are saved. All the saved were taught to believe in Christ as only they were the ones God drew to Christ.

People with total free will do not exist, that is a myth.

Everyone born is born with "a measure of faith" and Free Will.

One of the ways you understand that you have freewill, is.......that God holds you accountable for your choices.
And had you no free will, He would not do that, as you would not be making choices, freely.

And i assure you, Reader, that you made every choice, freely,.. = today, yesterday, and tomorrow... .......and thats your proof of YOUR free will, that is GOD given.

Now...Calvinists, who have a mental block that is caused by a "doctrine of Devils" that is "Calvinism".... will deny freewill, partly or absolutely...., because they are trained by Calvin's "doctrine of Devils'.... to exercize no logic or common sense, when reading verses, or regarding understanding the FREE will of a human being...... that is given by God to be used, as you will choose to use it.

Calvinism is of the Devil.
Do not read John Calvin's Theology, as it will trap your mind, and you probably will never be able to escape from it, once it controls your mind.
Few are able to realize it as demonic, who are controlled by it.
When they do, and its very few, they are delivered from a teaching that has such Satanic deceiving power, that its literally like a Theological Mind Blinding Cancer on the Body of Christ.

God made His promise to save some people, He never said He saves all people, just some people from every tribe, nation, tongue are saved.

Revelation 5

Worthy Is the Lamb​

8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:

“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made [a]us kings[b] and priests to our God;
And [c]we shall reign on the earth.”

Revelation 7

A Multitude from the Great Tribulation​

9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
