Now I command you Calvinists, says the Lord, to go and lie to the reprobate. The inconsistency of Calvins inscription on God Himself is an abomination against the very nature of God.
An irresistible call is a forced response. Force does not prescribe our love to God. We have no choice in the Calvinist distinctives. Uncondititional elecation is an invention necessitating the invention of irresistable transformation. Both are theological inventions and are therefore meaningless as to regarding Biblical teachings. God has factored into our natures 'volition'. Calvinism asks Christianity to embrace a God who dissociates His Holiness from His Sovereignty.
Why does Calvinism deny God the right to save by Grace through Faith as the Bible says?
Somehow, I find it ironic that I’m explaining and defending Calvinism on a Calv/Arm thread.
Friend, I would urge that you consider something about your premise: that God’s highest aim may not be in saving all men, but glorifying His name - the elect, in saving them through Christ, and the reprobate, in condemning them for their sins. Thus, who is elect and who is not is none of our business. It is a practical doctrine of comfort for the believer. Think of Bunyan’s Christian, and the many times he needed encouragement on his long journey to the New Jerusalem. Are there times you need encouragement? This beautiful doctrine - how God foreknew and foreloved you in Christ from eternity - provides what your weary soul needs.
