The NFT (New Fatalist Translation) For God so loved the world of the elect...
Funny, yet sad some believe it is saying that.
Calvinism is more sinister the more I look into it. The devastating effects of fatalism can be seen in places like India, where many believe in hinduism, which, along with islam and calvinism believe in predestination of all things.
A belief like that is guaranteed to breed complacency and in the case of Calvinism, fear that you may not be one of the elect, but one of the deceived.
To eliminate the free will of man is to eliminate genuine love for God and human responsibility. I agree with Justin Martyr on that one.
