Reconciled Unto God. NOT Predestinated

[Robert Pate]

There is no scripture anywhere in the Bible that says God predestinates people to heaven or to hell, but there are many scriptures that teach Jesus has reconciled us and the whole world unto God.

"And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and has given unto us the ministry of reconciliation" 2 Corinthians 5:18.

"God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation" 2 Corinthians 5:19.

"And that he (Jesus) might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby" Ephesians 2:16.

"And having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in the earth or things in heaven" Colossians 1:20.

"And you that were sometimes alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he reconciled" Colossians 1:21.

"For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life" Romans 5:10.

Jesus is God's reconciler. Jesus working in our name and on our behalf, has reconciled us and the world unto God. Jesus in our name and on our behalf, has fulfilled all of the demands of the law, Matthew 5:18. Jesus in our name and on our behalf, has atoned for our sins and the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2. Because of the doing and the dying of Jesus, we can now say with all certainty that "We are complete in him" (Jesus) Colossians 2:10.

"Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled unto God" 2 Corinthians 5:20.

If the Calvinist doctrine of predestination is true, then we should all throw our Bibles in the trash, because they won't matter anymore.

I thought that this thread would get more attention than what it did. The doctrine of reconciliation totally and completely refutes all religions, especially the Calvinist religion.

Calvinism is not a religion. Calvinism is a doctrinal system within Protestantism, which is part of the church, which is Christ's body.

Calvinism is a religion. Just like Pentecostalism is a religion. Calvinist even have their own writings called... "The Cannons of Dort" Compiled at the Synod of Dordrecht November 13th 1618. It is 20 pages long and spells out exactly what they believe.

Neither Calvinism nor Pentecostalism are religions. They fall under the umbrella of Protestantism, which is part of the Christian religion.

Calvinism is a major branch of Protestantism that follows the theological tradition and forms of Christian practice set down by John Calvin and other Reformation-era theologians. It emphasizes the sovereignty of God and the authority of the Bible. Calvinists broke from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century. [wikipedia]
