Calvin did not invent the doctrines of grace

nope 1 Cor 2:14 relates to the mystery, the hidden wisdom:

1 Corinthians 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory

But we speak the wisdom of God,.... Not of men, not of the wise politicians, the learned philosophers and Rabbins; that which human wisdom has no hand in forming, nor in revealing, nor in propagating, and which is disliked and disapproved of by it: the Gospel is the sole produce of divine wisdom, and in which there is a glorious display of it; even in those doctrines which are the most charged with folly, as salvation by a crucified Christ, justification by his righteousness, pardon by his blood, satisfaction by his sacrifice, &c.
in a mystery; it is mysterious wisdom. The Gospel is full of mysteries; there is the mystery of God, of a trinity of persons in the divine essence; the mystery of Christ, of his person, as God manifest in the flesh, of his divine sonship, and incarnation in the womb of a virgin; the mystery of the Spirit's grace in regeneration, of the saints' union to Christ, and communion with him, the resurrection of the same body, the change of living saints at Christ's coming, with many others:

even the hidden wisdom; the Gospel lay hid in God, in the thoughts of his heart, in the deep things of his mind, the counsels of his will, and purposes of his grace; it was hid in Christ, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge; it was hid under the types and shadows of the ceremonial law; and is hid in the Scriptures, which must be diligently searched for it, as for hidden treasures. It was hid from angels, and from Adam, until revealed; it was in some measure hid from the Jews under the former dispensation, to whom it was made known; and in some sense from believers, under the present dispensation, who as yet know it but in part; and is entirely hid from natural men, even from the most wise and prudent among them. This epithet expresses the preciousness, secrecy, and also security of the Gospel; hidden things being commonly of value, and being kept secret, are also safe; hidden and secret wisdom has been always esteemed, both by Greeks and Jews: hence that saying (u) of the latter,

"he that would be rich in learning of the law, "and that wisdom which is hidden", in a hidden and secret place, should hide and secrete himself from the children of men.''

The apostle adds,

which God ordained before the world. The Egyptians and Grecians boasted much of the "earliness" of their wisdom, but neither of them are to be mentioned with the Gospel for the antiquity of it; it is the birth of God's counsels of old, the produce of his purposes, which he purposed in Christ before the world was; a scheme of things he drew in his eternal mind; it is a transcript of the council of peace and covenant of grace, which were from everlasting; what the Jews (w) say of the law, is much more true of the Gospel,

"that it was treasured up with God (they say two thousand years, and sometimes nine hundred and seventy four ages), before the world was created;''

and often speak of it as one of the seven things created before the world was (x). Moreover, this was to our glory; under the present dispensation, which by reason of the Gospel has a glory in it surpassing the former; it is to the glory both of the ministers of it, whose honour it is to be employed in preaching it, and in being by it the instruments of converting such who will be their glory another day, and to the glory of all believers who are by it called to the obtaining of the glory of Christ Jesus.

I have read and I would think that you should have the courage to elaborate since you made the accusation.

The Gospel can be understood by people and on the basis that they can understand it they can also reject it.
No people are not regenerated first in order to understand.

Then you should know, and I have elaborated. That shows me you cant read with comprehension. Read

Friend you are an Idolator

He suffered for all, even knowing many would reject Him.

@Snacks has the true Christ Jesus, full of grace and truth, you sir do not, so no he is not an idolator.

Christ Jesus is the Saviour of all mankind, and each person can receive or reject His free gift of salvation by grace through faith!!

He suffered for all, even knowing many would reject Him.

This is the Christ of scripture, not the one you portray who only died for those He chooses to redeem and denying salvation to others based on what, no one knows, just luck of the draw I guess. smh!!!

That is indeed a false Christ!!

So who is an idolator, really?

@HeIsHere Thank you for your kind words and for defending the Gospel Truth. ❤️

The story of the Phoenician woman’s faith as found in Mark 7 shows that Jesus died for everyone, even though many would reject Him.

The spirit of these calvinists is not of God. Remember that while conversing with them.

If you believe that Christ died for people who are never saved, which we know that shall be the case, then you deny the saving efficacy of His death, thats a false christ.

I can answer ... and I have answered ... you reject ... then claim "major cop out" and/or that I "can't answer that".

The "major cop out" is the one who rejects the truth of Scripture ... conflates the gospel with the mystery, the hidden wisdom ... manipulates Scripture by changing active verbs to passive (remember that fiasco? ... it was just a couple days ago) or changes what is written in Scripture like you did here:






when the verse clearly states that strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil - Heb 5:14.

1 Cor 2:14 is about the Gospel, so is 2:7 and the natural man cannot understand it, not in a spiritual sense, because it must be spiritually discerned.

John Gill

If you believe that Christ died for people who are never saved, which we know that shall be the case, then you deny the saving efficacy of His death, thats a false christ.

Christ didnt die for anyone that doesnt come to faith in Him, since His Death effects Faith in Him, if you dont believe that, you believe in a false christ which makes you an idolater.

you didn't miss it ... you gave it a red X.

interesting you refuse to acknowledge the verse just before Phil 2:13:

Philippians 2:

12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

"Guess, you didn't want to recognize that God works within someone" as they work out [their] own salvation.

This is what I know:

Ps 103:19

The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

1 Pet 3:22

22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

And if you believe anything less, its theological athiesm

If you believe that Christ died for people who are never saved, which we know that
shall be the case, then you deny the saving efficacy of His death, thats a false christ.

That includes "turning"
