I must clarify, I do not reject a God who predestines multitudes to eternal torment, I do not think this God exists.
If this God does exist, who are we to question what He does or does not do? Taking a lesson from the book of Job.
Did we have any say in being born?
Did we have any say in where we were born?
Did we have any say in whether Jesus sacrificed Himself for our sins?
So why should we think we have any say in where we go when we die?
Just following that line of reasoning, it seems to me calvinism is consistent with an omnipotent, sovereign God.
Therefor I put me in the hand of God, the creator of all, and trust Father to do with me whatever Father chooses. I just trust no ?, no doubt and if it be not with Father then okay, why? Because I trust plain and simple, it is not by works or doing any good or evil one is saved
Romans 9:32 Wherefore? Because
they sought it not by
faith, but as it were by the
works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Galatians 2:16 knowing that a man is
not justified by the
works of the law, but by the
faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the
faith of Christ, and
not by the
works of the law: for by the
works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection;
not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead
works, and of
faith toward God,
Revelation 2:13 I know thy
works, and where thou dwellest,
even where Satan’s seat
is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast
not denied my
faith, even in those days wherein Antipas
was my
faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Father knows me, you and all, who believes Father and who does not, even if one says one does believe, my prayer is prayer for it to be true. for all will stand at the judgment seat and truth will be revealed
Loving this knowing Father is the only one good, and that is where my trust resides, deeper and deeper each day, as I die daily, anyone else care to join in to see the new life possibly?
