You teach that Christs Death can be made null and void by the will of man. Christ you say reconciled every individual to God BY HIS DEATH, yet if they dont accept it, they go to hell no longer reconciled to God by Christs Death. Thats a attack on Gods Grace and Christs Death.
"God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that WHOSOEVER believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life" John 3:16.

You teach that mans will trumps Christs Death, Gods Will, You say Christ by His Death reconciled everyone, saved everyone, then if they dont do something, it comes to nought, What Christ did is undone. Friend that is wickedness, evil.

If you don't personally accept Christ as your savior by your own God given free will you will never see heaven. You have not been predestinated. The only one that was predestinated was Jesus Christ. He was predestinated to be the savior of the whole world, Ephesians 1:4.

The Holy Spirit is in the world calling everyone to come to Christ and be saved. Believing in Jesus is not a work. "In whom you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise" Ephesians 1:13.

You deny reconciliation by Christs death, you teach reconciliation by the works of man, his act.

You have no scripture. Man was created to receive. We have life because we receive. We have salvation because we receive. We have faith because we receive. God is not going to impose salvation on anyone. We have because we receive. You have a twisted view of the nature of God.

Scripture says those for whom Christ died were by His death reconciled to God, and shall be saved by His Life Rom 5:10

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Thats Salvation, but you deny it and say they shall go to hell in their sins unreconciled to God if they dont receive it. So you deny it

Romans 5:10 does not support Calvinism. Romans 5:10 is part of the Gospel. Jesus in our name and on our behalf, fulfilled every jot and tittle of the law, Matthew 5:18, We have been delivered from the curse of the law, Galatians 3:10. We have been saved by his perfect, sinless life. It was the perfect sinless life of Jesus that reconciled us and the whole world unto God. When God accepted Jesus back into heaven, we were accepted in him, "According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love" Ephesians 1:4. God sees us and the whole world reconciled unto himself. 2 Corinthians 5:18-19. This means that salvation has been made available to everyone, Hebrews 2:9. So that now, "Whosoever that shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" Romans 10:13.

"God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that WHOSOEVER believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life" John 3:16.
Ah, the beloved John 3:16, a verse that's like the MVP of Bible verses – it's everywhere! So, let's jazz it up in the Calvinist comedy club, where the spotlight is on God's extravagant love and the divine dance of whosoever believes.

Now, picture this: God, the ultimate comedy writer, unveils a cosmic punchline with, "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son." It's like God saying, "I'm not just writing jokes; I'm writing redemption scripts, and Jesus is the star!"

Now, the divine twist – "that WHOSOEVER believes in him." In the Calvinist comedy script, we're highlighting that it's not a limited guest list; it's an all-inclusive invitation. Whosoever means anyone can RSVP to the eternal party, no exclusivity drama here!

And here's the kicker – "should not perish but have everlasting life." It's the grand finale, the divine comedy resolution where God reveals the punchline: believe, and the eternal life jackpot is yours. It's not a cosmic gamble; it's a guaranteed promise in the divine script.

In Calvinist comedy terms, we're emphasizing that belief isn't a human achievement but a divine gift. God, the master storyteller, weaves the narrative of salvation, and belief is the heart's response to His comedic masterpiece.

So, my fellow comedic theologians, let's dance in the joy of John 3:16 – a verse that's both profound and hilarious. God's love is the punchline, belief is the response, and everlasting life is the encore that echoes through eternity. #CalvinistComedyClub #GospelLaughs

Ah, the cosmic comedy debate – to receive or not to receive, that is the divine question! So, we're diving into the theological chuckles with brightfame52 and pate. In the Calvinist comedy club, the script is all about divine sovereignty and the ultimate punchline of salvation.

Brightfame52, in a dramatic twist, points out, "You deny reconciliation by Christ's death, you teach reconciliation by the works of man, his act." It's like a theological plot twist where the question is, "Who's the true reconciler in this divine drama?" In the Calvinist comedy realm, we're saying, "Hold on, folks, it's not about man's performance but about God's sovereign script of salvation."

Now, enter pate, with a quip like, "We have life because we receive. We have salvation because we receive." It's a comedic dialogue where the Calvinist scriptwriters are saying, "Absolutely, life and salvation are divine gifts, not human achievements. God's grace is the ultimate script, and we're all just characters in His redemptive play."

And the cosmic twist continues – "God is not going to impose salvation on anyone." In the Calvinist comedy routine, we're highlighting that salvation isn't a forced plotline; it's an irresistible invitation. God, the ultimate playwright, orchestrates the narrative, and our receiving is the heart's response to His comedic masterpiece.

So, my fellow divine comedians, let's revel in the laughter of Calvinism – where God's sovereignty takes center stage, human works are the subplot, and the Gospel is the eternal punchline. It's a divine comedy that echoes through eternity, reminding us that salvation is not earned but graciously received! #CalvinistComedyClub #GospelLaughs

"In whom you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise" Ephesians 1:13.
Ah, the cosmic comedy showdown continues – works, grace, and the theological stage is set! Brightfame52 steps into the scene, declaring, "That's works salvation, condemned by the Blood of Christ." It's like a dramatic twist where the accusation of works salvation is met with the resounding echoes of grace.

Now, pate enters with a Holy Spirit-infused retort, "Believing in Jesus is not a work." It's a theological tango, and in the Calvinist comedy club, we're saying, "Absolutely, belief is not a human achievement but a divine gift orchestrated by the ultimate Director." It's not about the performance; it's about the grace-filled script.

And then, pate pulls out Ephesians 1:13, adding a scriptural twist to the comedic dialogue. It's a moment where we're saying, "Ah, the sealing of the Holy Spirit – not a human accomplishment but a divine seal of approval on those who trust in the grand redemptive narrative."

Now, let's expose the theological subplot – "The Holy Spirit is in the world calling everyone to come to Christ and be saved." In the Calvinist comedy routine, we're highlighting that the Holy Spirit's call isn't a desperate plea but an irresistible summons. The divine Director is at work, and His calling is effective, not dependent on human applause.

So, my fellow divine comedians, let's celebrate the laughter of Calvinism – where works take a back seat, grace takes the spotlight, and the Gospel is the ultimate punchline. It's a divine comedy where God's sovereignty is the plot twist, and human efforts are merely the supporting cast. #CalvinistComedyClub #GospelLaughs

If you don't personally accept Christ as your savior by your own God given free will you will never see heaven. You have not been predestinated. The only one that was predestinated was Jesus Christ. He was predestinated to be the savior of the whole world, Ephesians 1:4.
Ah, the theological drama thickens – will, death, and the cosmic comedy unfolds! Brightfame52 charges in, proclaiming, "You teach that man's will trumps Christ's Death, God's Will." It's a clash of theological swords, and in the Calvinist comedy arena, we're saying, "Hold on, it's not about man's will trumping anything but about God's sovereign decree being the director of the grand cosmic narrative."

Then, pate counters with a twist, "If you don't personally accept Christ as your savior by your own God-given free will, you will never see heaven." It's like a plot twist, and in the Calvinist chuckle zone, we're saying, "Ah, the acceptance – not a human achievement but a divine calling that's irresistible." The script is divinely written, and human will is a character following the cues.

Now, let's expose the theological curtain – "The only one that was predestinated was Jesus Christ. He was predestinated to be the savior of the whole world." In the Calvinist comedy script, we're highlighting that predestination isn't a buffet where individuals choose; it's a divine plan where Christ is the centerpiece.

So, my fellow theological jesters, let's revel in the laughter of Calvinism – where human will doesn't trump but dances in the choreography of God's sovereign grace. It's a divine comedy where predestination isn't a limitation but the canvas on which God paints the masterpiece of redemption. #CalvinistComedyClub #GospelLaughs

Your Calvinist God makes up things and causes you to believe that I said them. All that come to Christ as repentant sinners to be saved by him can never lose their salvation. Paul wrote, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" Romans 8:38-39.
Ah, the theological banter – accusations flying, defenses raised, and the cosmic comedy unfolds! Brightfame52 asserts, "You teach that people Christ reconciled to God by His death can turn around and lose it, lose their Salvation." In the Calvinist comedy arena, we're saying, "Hold on, it's not about losing salvation but about the unbreakable grip of God's irresistible grace."

Then, pate enters the stage, claiming, "Your Calvinist God makes up things and causes you to believe that I said them." It's like a theological plot twist, and in the Calvinist chuckle zone, we're saying, "Ah, the mysterious work of divine providence – not puppetry but the sovereign hand that guides the cosmic narrative."

Now, let's unveil the theological curtain – "All that come to Christ as repentant sinners to be saved by him can never lose their salvation." In the Calvinist comedy script, we're emphasizing that salvation isn't a fragile possession but an eternal reality, sealed by the unyielding promise of God.

So, my fellow theological jesters, let's dance in the laughter of Calvinism – where God's grace isn't a wavering force but the anchor that holds us firm. It's a divine comedy where the love of God, expressed through Christ, isn't subject to the whims of human decisions but stands invincible through all ages. #CalvinistComedyClub #GospelLaughs

Your Calvinist God will not let you hear and believe that "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" John 3:16. You have selective faith, you can only believe in the Calvinist faith, which is a corrupted faith. John Calvin is a demon.
Ah, the theological sparring continues – brightfame52 declares, "You deny scripture, a sure sign of a false teacher." In the Calvinist comedy coliseum, we're saying, "Hold on, it's not about denial but about rightly dividing the Word in the grand cosmic script."

Then, pate launches a counterattack, "Your Calvinist God will not let you hear and believe..." It's like a theological drama, and in the Calvinist chuckle realm, we're saying, "Ah, the mysterious workings of God's irresistible grace – not a selective hearing aid but the divine tuning that brings forth faith."

Now, let's reveal the theological punchline – "'God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son...'" In the Calvinist comedy script, we're emphasizing that John 3:16 isn't a stumbling block but a foundational truth. God's love isn't confined to a select few but extends to the world, and His grace irresistibly draws the chosen ones.

So, my theological jesters, let's keep the laughter rolling in the Calvinist comedy club – where Scripture is cherished, and God's grace isn't limited by the human will but triumphs in the divine drama of redemption. #CalvinistComedyClub #GospelLaughs

If it isn't according to Calvinism, you reject it.

Calvinism does away with the Gospel and justification by faith. It also does away with the judgment, no one needs to be judged if they were saved before the foundation of the world. I bet that you believe that Snow White and the dwarfs are real live persons.
Ah, the theological jousting continues – brightfame52 charges, "You preaching a false gospel," and pate counters, "If it isn't according to Calvinism, you reject it." It's like a theological duel, and in the Calvinist comedy arena, we're saying, "Hold on, it's not about rejection but about rightly understanding the divine narrative."
Now, let's uncover the theological punchline – Rom 5:10, "For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son..." In the Calvinist comedy script, we're emphasizing the sovereign grace that reconciles even when we were enemies. It's not a rejection of the Gospel but an acknowledgment of God's irresistible love.
And pate's jab at Calvinism – in the Calvinist laughter arena, we're saying, "Ah, the misperceptions about judgment and predestination." It's not about doing away with judgment but about embracing the divine decree that unfolds in the grand cosmic drama.
So, my theological jesters, let's keep the laughter echoing through the Calvinist comedy club – where the Gospel isn't diminished but shines brightly in the sovereignty of God's grace. #CalvinistComedyClub #GospelLaughs

We understand that God knows what is going to happen next.
No matter what,..
The next child born on the earth, the next hurricane, the next Hamas rocket fired into Israel..
God knows all of this is going to happen , before it happens, next.

= "FOREKNOWLEDGE of God".

Be-fore it happens , Knowledge.

Calvin decided to create a twisted theology that redefined "God knowing all before it happens" as "God Pre-destined it" "God caused it".

Then he took THAT lie, and chained it to "evil"..... and "going to hell"..... and "Hitler" and everything... that ever happens, .. Calvin defined it as "pre-destined". or Pre-Caused by GOD to happen.

This is why Calvinist's blame God for evil.

Then, he took it farther into CRAZY.... and said... "The Cross is only pre-destined for SOME"..

So, it could be that he was demon possessed as Hebrews 13:9 says that these type people, teaching such Anti-Christ and Anti-Cross theology, are teaching "doctrines of Devils".

J Calvin's Cross denying theology, is demonic.
Ah, the theological ring has another contender – Ritajanice throws a jab at Calvin, suggesting demonic influence, and Behold steps into the comedy arena with some heavy punches. In the Calvinist comedy script, we're saying, "Folks, let's untangle the theological spaghetti and find the divine punchline."
Now, the accusation against Calvin – in the Calvinist laughter arena, we're emphasizing that Calvin might not have been a stand-up comedian, but let's not jump to the demon possession punchline. It's about engaging with his theological views, not his historical rap sheet.
And Behold's critique of Calvin's theology – in the Calvinist comedy club, we're saying, "Hold on, let's not turn theology into a crazy rollercoaster." It's not about pre-destined blame games; it's about understanding God's sovereignty in a way that glorifies Him.
So, my theological jesters, let's keep the Calvinist comedy vibes alive – where the Gospel isn't overshadowed by historical speculations but shines brightly in the truth of God's Word. #CalvinistComedyClub #GospelLaughs

Christians are called to refute false doctrine that is not according to the Bible, the Gospel and justification by faith.

You seem to believe that it is some sort of a contest. No one is laughing.

Ah, the theological sparring match – Pate steps into the ring, gloves on, ready to defend the Calvinist corner. But in the Calvinist comedy dojo, we might quip, "Well, if theology were an Olympic sport, we'd all be gold medalists in misunderstanding each other!"
Now, about refuting false doctrine – in the Calvinist comedy playbook, we could playfully say, "Why not a Theological World Cup? Penalty kicks for heresy, anyone?" But in all seriousness, it's not about turning theology into a blood sport; it's about engaging with God's truth in a way that glorifies Him.
And the notion that no one is laughing – in the Calvinist chuckle-fest, we might suggest, "Well, if the Apostle Paul were here, he'd probably insert a holy 'LOL' somewhere in his epistles." Let's not forget, a bit of laughter can be a divine echo in the corridors of theological discourse.
So, my theological pugilist, let's keep the Calvinist comedy vibes alive – where the Gospel isn't drowned in a sea of theological seriousness, but we find joy in the truth of God's Word. After all, a good theological chuckle might just be the divine medicine we all need! #CalvinistComedyClub #TheologicalBanter

You deny Rom 5:10, you teach that reconciled people can go to hell for their sins, if they dont accept Jesus, but thats a lie, for reconciled people by the death of Christ shall be saved by His Life ! Read Rom 5:10, you actually teach against the Gospel of a finished reconciliation that saves.
