Consequences ofArminian Free-will doctrine

[Fastfredy0]

Arminian Free-will doctrine … It magnifies man into God; it declares God’s purposes a nullity, since they cannot be carried out unless men are willing. It makes God’s will a waiting servant to the will of man, and the whole covenant of grace dependent upon human action. Denying election on the ground of injustice, it holds God to be a debtor to sinners, so that if He gives grace to one He is bound to do so to all. It teaches that the blood of Christ was shed equally for all men and since some are lost, this doctrine ascribes the difference to man’s own will, thus making the atonement itself a powerless thing until the will of man gives it efficacy. Those sentiments dilute the scriptural description of man’s depravity, and by imputing strength to fallen humanity, rob the Spirit of the glory of His effectual grace: this theory says in effect that it is of him that willeth, and of him that runneth, and not of God that showeth mercy.

Maybe you could share a scripture.

How does this article you pasted from the internet help those of us who are not “Arminian” or “Calvinist”?

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16


Do you believe God loves the unsaved people of the world?

Arminian Theology of salvation in the end would make the most important determine factor our own choosing and will, for how else can they explain just why some hear and believe whiles other hear with deaf ears? They must be better as responded rightly

Do you believe a person chooses to believe or they are forced to believe by God?
