Does Anyone Here Teach The Following?

[stonesoffire]

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.
Know that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving
And His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His lovingkindness is everlasting
And His faithfulness to all generations.
Psalm 100:1-5

There we go...teach it! good DesertRose.

Um, who exactly are the "they" John Calvin is speaking of? "Calvinists?"

Your quote isn't serving your cause even though you think it is. It is doing the opposite, and it was used as slander against him just as it is against us by enemies of the Gospel and certain doctrines.

Those who didn't support John Calvin's view and theories that who, but like I said people who follow his views call themselves Calvinist practicing Calvinism, John Calvin was against using names to support his views, thought today the same don't adhere to his teachings, though I feel as I'm beating my head against the wall with you, nothing is getting through.

Probably doesn't matter anymore, it's a matter of time, and the knowledge tree will be spit in half.

There we go...teach it! good DesertRose.

Sing to the Lord a new song;Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, bless His name;
Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
Tell of His glory among the nations,
His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised;
He is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But the Lord made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory of His name;
Bring an offering and come into His courts.
Worship the Lord in holy attire;
Tremble before Him, all the earth.
Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved;
He will judge the peoples with equity.”
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, and all it contains;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
Before the Lord, for He is coming,
For He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
And the peoples in His faithfulness.
Psalm 96:1-13

Oh my land! I just googled something my father talked about.Its called a tur...

This is what he ate the first time he visited my moms family when they began dating.

This is what they look like alive...

For example he was against the fact that only few are chosen.

But in the Bible you can read: "For many are called, but few are chosen." Matthew 22:14

yet ALL were invited....hello

 

[Johnny_B]

I've look into that, yea what ever floats people's boat, everyone has the right to believe and choose.

Though for the people who believe in Calvinism and call themselves Calvinist, you going against exactly what John Calvin thought was a insult, go figure people follow his teachings and use the title that he himself deemed as a insult. Probably better off calling yourself a reformist than a Calvinist, because that would be going against their teachers view that the word Calvinism is a insult. John Calvin statement below.

They could attach us no greater insult than this word, Calvinism. It is not hard to guess where such a deadly hatred comes from that they hold against me.

— John Calvin, Leçons ou commentaires et expositions sur les Revelations du prophete Jeremie 1565[9]



I've have wondered, what ever happen to being just simply called (a follower of Jesus), why has the world Christians place so many fences of titles and names and bibles and denominations for so many different groups. surely this statement below has been at the for front for many years.

Luke 12:53
King James Bible
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.


In today's world is nothing but endless titles and names and bibles and denominations. I doubt very seriously this was of God's plan.

It is interesting that you say that, because being called little Christ's was an insult as well. I don't call myself Calvinist or Reformed, but call mr Reformed or Calvinist. Did you notice that he said they hate him, out of all the doctrine in the Christian faith no other like the Doctrines of Grace get people so stirred up that they misrepresent them. They are so afraid of them that many call them from satan, a doctrine of demons, it's gnostic in nature when all it is about is placing God in a position to be glorified for the salvation of men and that upsets people so much that it makes me wonder what the problem is, because lifting man over God in salvation, is not loving God with all our mind, all our soul, all our heart and all our strength, it is worshiping the creature over the Creator. They are the most misrepresented doctrines around, I like the one that says, Calvinism teaches that you can live anyway you want nd still make heaven your home, it is true that you can live anyway you want and if you are a believer you are going to want to worship God and be holy as He is holy, if you live a life of sin that mean you don't know God. So yes in any denomination you should live how you want, because what is in your heart is who you are, but most people would rather take the credit for their salvation by getting it and maintaining it.

Jesus said they will hate you for the words I gave you. John 17:13-15 But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.

Does anyone get stirred up over Arminianism, Dispensationalism, Pentecostalism or any other form of doctrine, the way they do over the Doctrines of Grace? Out of all the doctrine that we can hold to none is hated with it's followers more than Reformed/Calvinism. I remember meeting George Bryson, I asked him a question about Calvinism and his answer was so twisted that it made me do my own investigation because it just did not make any sense as to what he said. Plus the owner of the book store I always went to, would always graciously answer my questions and order all my crazy books, like Kenyon. Hinn, Larkin. Then one day after the store had closed down, we bumped into each other at a conference with MacArthur, Sproul, Ferguson and others. He could not believe I was there.

Not sure if its true but Ive heard some things that are not so good about Hillsong. But I do love music,it can reach the heart sometimes where a sermon cant.

 

[trofimus]

yet ALL were invited....hello

But only the chosen ones will be saved.

Also, the only word you made in CAPSLOCK - ALL is not in the text. Its "many", not "all".

Read more carefully.

Both are for our good.

Wicca is satanic, who they worship doesn't matter,the entity is still satan.

Wicca are pagan and that is very different than what a Satanist is. If you tried to witness to a Wicca and told them they worshiped Satan and were satanic they would call you a typical Christian idiot and walk way.

While we know the entity is still Satan and any form of witchcraft is Satanic, it is importation to understand the enemy and how he operates.

If you told a Wicca they worshiped the goddess and her god and follow a pagan religion you would have their attention.

 

[Meggido]

I am glad you have no beef with me, because after being called a "bully," "mow em down, accuse them, rip em down," "little back bone," "attributes of Lucifer," "blinded by false teachings," "No love at all because God chose them," and "indoctrinated," I'd hate to see you when you do have a beef with someone.

(And that's the short list.)

So, tell me something. Where is your love? How are you better?

I never called you any of those things, but I am thinking the term drama queen is starting to fit.

 

[peacefulbeliever]

Okay. This explains it. No point in discussing predestination if you believe God isn't omniscient.

Just wondering, are you an open theist? Or is this just a personal belief you adhere to?

The bible teaches God knew everything before he created it. He knew Satan would rebel. He knew we would be deceived and follow suit. The bible also teaches that he predestined people before he even created the world. I gave scripture to support it. The idea of God being limited in knowledge and not knowing the future isn't biblical.

This explains it . . . explains what? I don't know what an "open theist" is . . . just as I did not know what Calvinism was, nor many other terms until I heard them on this site.

He knew Satan would rebel - but created him anyway? God really didn't want a relationship with man in the beginning when he declared "all things to be good"? Or did man disappoint him by the choice man made? From that moment on man's course was changed and God set up a plan, a course of action to redeem mankind - that plan to redeem man; i.e. salvation is predestined and predetermined through our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah. So, I didn't say God did not know the future as in what he has purposed and what he has planned according to OT prophecy.
God's plan of salvation predetermined through OT prophecy is set before ALL men - man only has to believe what is set before him.

. . . 1 John 1:5 says that God is light and in him is no darkness at all - so how can darkness be attributed to God?

Did God predestine you to have the job you have today? Did God predestine what type of car you would drive? Did God predestine what color socks you would put on today? Did God predestine who you would marry, if you would marry, how many children you would have? I do believe that God sets before me the BEST for me but by my will, my choice, my decision, I could get way off track -
