Robert, are you going to answer the question?
I have answered the question. You didn't like the answer.
Jesus is Lord over ALL THINGS even sin.
Robert, are you going to answer the question?
No it doesn't.
Even if He created men with merely 'foreknowledge', He still created men to destruction at will.
You can't really escape predestination, that's the point of Reformed doctrine being called such- it's a reversal of centuries of heresy and men trying to be in control of everything. Who is God- Him or your 'free will'?

All you gave was one of your canned responses; a supposed "out" when posed with a question that requires defending your beliefs. Now I will ask you again why God would impute sins ( that shouldnt even exist if they were destroyed and forgiven) back to people if you claim that they will not be judged according to their sins? Can you handle that?
If you are NOT found to be "In Christ" your sins will be imputed to you
WHY? Robert, WHY? will sins be imputed, do you understand the question? WHY? Answer WHY? sins will be imputed!! Are you sure you can handle this Robert?
All of your questions will be answered in the judgment.
I hope that you are one of the blessed.
"Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin" Romans 4:8.
Couldn't handle it.
I knew that it was to much for you to believe.
Election encompasses everything in Calvinism - salvation, justification, sanctification - yet no person can know it is true of himself.
I believe that he did. Predestination means that you were saved before the foundation of the world.
Yes, it's called the predestined elect.
They will know their fate by their measure of faith.
If they lose it for a time, they will come back to it if they are of the elect, and thus were saved from the beginning.
Likewise, if they never return, they were never saved to begin with.
Calvinism is the Gospel. Other theology, especially open theism, has utterly conflicted the sovereignty of God and made man his own force. They've thrown the perfect image of the Word under the bus for the sake of control.
Must've been predestined :thumb:
@AMR
Hyper Calvinism is just the last inch toward the inevitable that others don't want to admit is there.
If Calvinism is the Gospel and people are saved by being predestinated then God is unjust.
Why didn't God predestinate everyone to be saved? Why just "some certain persons"?
Here is your real problem. It is not possible to have saving faith in a God that predestinates people to hell for no reason other than they were born after Adam.
Blasphemy against God !
You teach also that Christ death alone failed to Save them He died for, that is also Blasphemous!If anyone is a blasphemer it is you.
You teach that people are not saved by believing in Jesus.
We are sinners because our first Father who we are related to sinned.
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon ALL MEN, for that all have sinned" Romans 5:12.
To believe that God gives some life so that he can damn them to hell is not biblical and carries with it sever spiritual consequences.
To believe that God would do such a thing is to believe that God is an unjust tyrant.

Not if He elected those who bowed to HIS deity and put their faith in HIS promise of salvation while at the same time refusing to elect those who rejected HIS deity and HIS promise of salvation. Thus He elected those who wanted to marry HIM and left the others who did want to marry him but made themselves demons, to their fate.
Because some chose by their free will to reject HIM interfering with their choice to put their faith in him being a false god telling lies. As eternally evil by choice, they cannot come under HIS election promise of salvation by HIS Son.
This is YOUR problem RP, YOU believe in Adamic sin tainting our natures, you believe HE knowingly created those who would never be saved. And you share these problems with your dreaded enemies here on earth...weird eh?
