I think... this would make a terrible topic. It would devolve into a fight between the Calvinists and Arminians pretty quickly, thereby causing more of the problem that it criticizes.
What topic within soteriology does not devolve into a fight between the Calvinists and the non-Calvinists if both participate?

Heresy does not usually remove the verses, it usually adds to them a man made teaching, which creates the heresy.

How does this deceive the deceived?

They BELIEVE the twist, that has been placed on the verse, and that becomes how they SEE IT.

For example, if i was a Hyper-Calvinist....then everytime i read the NT< and i saw these words....and phrases.

"Whosover"
"The World"
"All that Call"
"As many as"
"ALL That will"
"ALL"
"Each"
"for as many"

Then if i was a deceived Calvinist or "5 pointer", then my mind would twist the verses, into "only the elect".. "only the pre-chosen".. "only the Predestined".........every time i read......."whosoever"... "as many as"... "ALL that will"... "The World"...."The World".. "each", "for as many".

This is what the bible refers to as the "Bewitching power" of a doctrine of Devils, that is always created by a MAN...

And all false religions, and heresies related to Christian Theology, are MAN MADE... .always.
