Description
Jesus Christ never predestined people to Heaven and hell, before the foundation of the world, this is a false doctrine taught by the Calvinist, they always like to use verses such as :
John 6:44: No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
but they always fail to mention:
John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw ALL MEN unto me.
Jesus Christ did not choose who he wanted to go to heaven and hell, it was mans choice, they can choose where they want to go.
Calvinist's always like to base their entire false doctrines off a few verses but just excuse the tons more that have more details etc... you can't just pick and choose what verses you want to use for your doctrine and excuse the rest. and also they like to use the verse:
Romans 9:13: As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Well first off, this has totally nothing to do with Jesus dying for some elite elect. it is talking about two brothers, and Esau was not doing right, and Jacob was.
The bible says in multiple occasions stuff like:
"....Not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance." The Bible says: For God so loved the WORLD....."
Not some elect that he chose from the foundation of the world. This false Doctrine is Wicked, and it makes God look bad, it would be like a guy who had the cure for cancer, But he said he was only going to give it to 10 million people, which he could give it to everyone with cancer, but he only chose to give it to 10 million. now would people be like:
"WOW! What a great guy! He is giving the cure for cancer to 10 million people!"
No!, they would be like:
"What a monster, He will not even give it to all the other millions and millions of people. " and that is what it is like.
it is making God look like a monster.
DO NOT FALL IN THE PITFALLS OF CALVANISIM.
