    Argument Against “Double Predestination” and Support for the Tripartite View

    Most reformed reject double predestination. But its impossible to say Calvin didn't explicitly teach it, and do his best to defend God against any charge of wrong doing. Where the Reformed blow it is their supposing only a remnant will be saved. Billions will be saved, uncountable like the...

    Argument Against “Double Predestination” and Support for the Tripartite View

    What others say is irrelevant to me. For example, God foreknew those He predestined, not by looking into their future.... As God is omniscient He already knows the future without foreknowledge. Rather, the meaning of foreknowing is to "know before". If you highlight text, it is "known before"...

    Argument Against “Double Predestination” and Support for the Tripartite View

    If it could be refuted you should have done so. You didn't, it can't. As for "these my brethren" who Christ clearly is pointing to, who are neither sheep or goats, but once were humans who the sheep aided, but the goats did not....obviously are the raptured church. The Sheep and goats were...

    Argument Against “Double Predestination” and Support for the Tripartite View

    To illustrate my reaction to icons: You are speaking to someone behind you. You never saw him, don't have a clue what he looks like. But you speak directly to him without an image of what he looks like. That' how I pray to Yahweh, Father Son and Holy Spirit, our One God in Jesus' name. I know...

    Argument Against “Double Predestination” and Support for the Tripartite View

    Thanks for the info. I might do that. When researching early Christian belief the Orthodox should be first on one's list. Athanasius is my hero for a lot of reasons. Peace.

    Argument Against “Double Predestination” and Support for the Tripartite View

    I do. I don't charge the Orthdox with idolatry, their conscience evidently agrees with it being "veneration". I just can't do it, it would be sinful for me. So I am applying Romans 14. When I pray I know my prayer is passing through the heavens, going to God Himself in His Holy of Holies. It...

    Argument Against “Double Predestination” and Support for the Tripartite View

    By predestination we mean the eternal decree of God, by which he determined with himself whatever he wished to happen with regard to every man. All are not created on equal terms, but some are preordained to eternal life, others to eternal damnation; and, accordingly, as each has been created...

    Argument Against “Double Predestination” and Support for the Tripartite View

    And they are right. God clearly says we pay for our own sins, not those of others. They are right about the Filioque also among other things. I might consider myself Orthodox except for icons, can't abide with them. Its too close to idolatry for me, even if one can split hairs and claim its...

    Argument Against “Double Predestination” and Support for the Tripartite View

    That isn't what I believe. You misunderstood what I said completely. You quote me out of context to allege a pretext, I don't believe God looks forward to learn things. This is what I said, I'll copy paste it from my site: What if the Bible Teaches Both Predestination and Free Will...

    Argument Against “Double Predestination” and Support for the Tripartite View

    Only God doesn't contradict Himself. I used bold font to show his opening words. Deny them if you like, I don't see the point. Rather than rush to defend Calvin, rush to defend God. Lots of error is presented today as Christian that would cause Christ and His disciples to vomit. Rather than...

    Argument Against “Double Predestination” and Support for the Tripartite View

  13. Alfred Persson

    God so loved the world even that crusty old Theologian John Calvin can be saved if he believes

    God is Sovereign, everything is His. He can do anything He wants and its still right. That's not the question. Does the bible teach God predestined some to be reprobate? I don't think so and I listed my reasons.

    Argument Against “Double Predestination” and Support for the Tripartite View

    In the two comprehensive definitions that follow, Calvin summarized his doctrine of double predestination: We call predestination God’s eternal decree, by which he determined with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life...

    I think you ignore ancient history. But that's ok. I didn't say it wasn't excessive, but spawning your own army was something the patriachs wouldn't mind doing.

    Argument Against “Double Predestination” and Support for the Tripartite View

    Argument Against “Double Predestination” and Support for the Tripartite View Many theologians reject the Calvinist doctrine of “Double Predestination,” which asserts that God has predestined some individuals to salvation (the Elect) and others to condemnation (the Reprobate). These theologians...

    A youtube comment also didn't like the AI voice I chose. Perhaps I'll use another in the next video.

    You haven't talked to any Mormons. And Solomon is a scriptural example.

    For those who believe they have a message to share with others

    That would be wise. Its possible the Antichrist's birth name be something else, but when he reveals himself to be the prophesied "Son of Destruction" that he adopt the name Adonikam precisely because a Janus Parallelism proves its the name of the Antichrist. Then looking for the name won't...

    You must reread my "elegant" defense (Post #21). I didn't base it on a conincidence at all.
