Excellent exposing of the Catholic church. Now take offense at what I am going to say, but do not be so offended that you do not listen...the Calvinist doctrines are also false. Think about this harder, God does not save unbelievers while they are still unbelievers.
After Jesus saved me, the Calvinist doctrines were argued to me. I struggled with this strange doctrine. I could barely eat and drink for weeks. I prayed and searched what I was told according to the Calvinists, but God revealed to me it was not true. I am not saying you are not saved, I just want you to see more clearly God's Truth and know Him better.
God chooses whom he will save, according to his good pleasure. In that election, God knows intimately all those whom he predestined with a love that cannot be compared to the world, a love that's transcended. As no person deserves salvation, and are unable to redeem themselves, God is just, to choose whosever he pleases by grace, and pass over others, in order to judge them according to his justice. We come to him by faith, that faith is a gift of God, but that person must be regenerated first. They are spiritually quickened, by the Holy Sprit, they are drawn, by the hand of the Father, so that they will abide in Christ forever. He does all of this, to the praise of his grace and for the elect, to savour all that God is, enjoying him forever.
The Bible tells us plainly who Jesus saves and when, and it is NOT as you say.
Jesus saves those who believe and obey him.
"Arminianism is the very essence of Popery."There is NO scripture ANYWHERE that says God saves unbelievers.
What you believe is NOT from God.
"Arminianism is the very essence of Popery."
the church is a place to gather in His name
-the church is a place to get fed
-the church is a place you can trust
You are not my sheep because you do not believe. Or you do not believe because you are not my sheep? Which one is the cause of the other ?
