The Musings of the Calvinist

[spauline]

God is saving me and i couldn’t resist Him if I tried.

God is ALL-Powerful, therefore, God won’t LET me fall away and remain so unto death.

If I could fall away, then God is NOT all-powerful.

God hugs me so hard, I couldn’t get out.

I do what i do because God is working in me. I have no choice but to do what God moves me to do, because His grace is IRresistible.

If we could resist God, God would not be all-powerful.

At least God chose ME to be saved, and I am grateful.

Why he didn’t save you, you poor reprobate, I don’t know. Your burning in hell will vindicate his justice. He didn’t choose you. Why? I don’t know. at least I’M going to heaven. Too bad for you. But at least you will have the joy of knowing that your eternal torments will vindicate God’s justice. For now, you might as well enjoy the flesh. Go out, get drunk, fornicate, you name it. After all, there is no hope for you. At least I’M going to heaven. Well, I’m off to church to glorify the God that saved me and that fryed all the Indians prior to 1500 because He chose not to tell them what they needed to know to get out of hell. He just chose not to save them. At least He chose ME, though, HALELUJAH!

You must have done something selfless in your past life to have received such good fortune.

Catholicism is making so much more sense all the time. to me.

Only when the opposing viewpoints are presented in a false and deceiving manner. I am not a Calvinist, and neither is Spauline. That was his misattempt to sound like one for the purposes of misrepresenting it.

What part did he get wrong? I have read about this “predestination” and “Double Predestination” theory. Was it that?

Just about the whole thing. I would suggest you check Calvinist sources rather than blatantly goofy misrepresentations of them. I disagree with Calvinists on any number of levels, but I know what I am disagreeing with. Unlike the OP.

I have read some things already, like “predestination” and “Double predestination” but, there is no authentic Calvinist source to check now that the poor soul is dead.
May he really have been predestined!
Apparently, there are no calvinists today that even agree with him about what he believed anymore. I am guessing for instance one thing would be about Mary. This seems to be the pattern. Luther also was ignored by those who decided he was wrong about things too. I think Mary was one of them. How odd.
I guess things change a lot.

Well…ultimately the teachings of individual men must be judged according to the Word. We do not consider Luther right simply because he said it, but because it harmonizes with the Scriptures. If you want to explore what actual Calvinists believe, I would suggest opc.org

Those are actual Calvinists.
