Calvinism Opposes the Gospel and is anti-Christ
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Calvinism is
a false religion that is unscriptural and is in opposition to the
"Historical Gospel" of Jesus Christ.
The resounding message of the New Testament is that "Jesus is Lord." He
is Lord because he has defeated sin, death and the devil and has
triumphed over all the evils of the whole world,
Colossians 2:15.
Proof of this is that Jesus Christ sits in heaven at the right hand of
God (a place of honor and respect) victorious over all things,
Hebrews 7:26.
"Far above all principalities and powers,
and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this
world, but in the world to come. And has put all things under his feet,
and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,"
Ephesians 1:21,
22.
Jesus Christ by his mighty works has reconciled a world of lost sinners
unto God.
"And all things are of God who has
reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ. To wit that God was in Christ,
reconciling the WORLD unto himself, NOT imPutin g their trespasses unto
them."
2 Corinthians 5:18,
19.
God sees all of humanity in his Son Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the
new humanity and the new creation,
2 Corinthians 5:17. The
old have passed away and the new has arrived in Jesus Christ. Jesus
Christ has put the old sinful Adamic race to death in himself,
Romans 6:6. And has
brought forth a new humanity in the resurrection,
Romans 6:5.
"God has exalted Jesus and has given him a
name above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow of
things in heaven and on the earth and every tongue will confess that
Jesus is Lord to the glory of God the Father,"
Philippians 2:9,
10,
11.
Does this sound like Jesus is going to share the universe with Satan
because he didn't atone for all of the sins of humanity, only some? Does
this sound like Jesus failed to provide salvation for all of humanity,
only some?
If you are going to believe Calvinism you must believe that Jesus Christ
is a failure. If you are going to believe Calvinism you must believe
that God is a ruthless, heartless, tyrant that condemns billions to hell
for no reason. If you are going to believe Calvinism you might just as
well throw your Bible in the trash. There is no scripture anywhere in
the Bible that says God has predestinated anyone to heaven or to hell."
If you'd like to be one of God's
elect, you can be (2 Pe 3:9).
See:
Calvinism vs. Arminianism - which view is correct? What are the five
points of Calvinism vs. the five points of Arminianism?
What is predestination? Is predestination biblical? Does God predestine
who will be saved?
What is double predestination? Does God predestine who will be saved?
Does God predestine who will go to Hell?

"It is all very simple. Calvinist believe that God's sovereignty overrides his justice, mercy and righteousness. If you are going to be a Calvinist you will have to believe that God is some sort of a mean, ruthless tyrant, that delights in sending people to hell."
It is simple. God isn't like that. You're right. Ps 145:9.
