Calvinism Debunked

Print this Calvinism Chart:

Jas 1: 13  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 
Jas 1: 14  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 
Jas 1: 15  Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Calvinism doesn’t just mischaracterise God in horrible ways, it quashes the gospel and creates a narcissistic club for the self-righteous.

[JOHNch.v.v.to]

Pastor, if a soul is won out of the miry clay of Calvinism, that is a very rare and special miracle. Those folks are hands down some of the proudest people I've ever witnessed to.

[davidjohn]

A most important sermon!!I thank you Pastor Fannin, Yours sincerely, David from London, England

[sharonlouise]

What an awesome message! Prayers that it will bear fruit for God. Calvinism is even worse. This is what I've heard them say, "God has created the reprobate for His glory. God desires to show all His attributes, so He has the reprobate so He can pour out His wrath upon them." So God created the reprobate because He had a need to pour out His wrath. Unbelievable! Thank you for helping others understand how Calvinism isn't the gospel.

[Over-for-now]

Why are so many here obsessed with calvin? He doesn't sound like he knew the Lord
The Word of God stands SURE that God receives ALL the GLORY in EVERYTHING

[inseinenstudios]

This is absolutely ridiculous. I had to stop listening after historic greats like John Calvin and Augustine were called pagans. This man does not understand what either of those greats taught, and I doubt he has read their works, otherwise he would see how humble and God loving they actually were.

I’ve never heard a worse explanation of calvinism or mishandling of scriptures in my life.

[RickardServices-blyi]

Great job!
Thank you for making the chart available!

[jeffdollar]

Congratulations - this is one of the best misrepresentations of the Reformed faith I have ever seen.

[Over-for-now]

Forget calvin --- he's only human. However I believe the word of God that says NONE seek after God. HE will NOT share HIS GLORY with another.
HE will keep HIS plans for HIS GLORY. The Word clearly says we do NOT come and we cannot come.
If you are SAVED God chose you and awakened you to HIS claims on your life
Jesus paid my entire son debt and I'm SAVED forever to HIS GLORY

[soulosxpiotov]

So that God chooses some, elects some, predestines some, to be saved, before the foundation of the world - this is unbiblical? (now watch, no one is going to answer this question).

[Briaalys]

True wisdom consists of two things: knowing God, and knowing self. This knowledge SHOULD produce a fear of God.
Those who oppose the Gospel of Christ know neither God nor themselves...nor do they know the Bible.
Add an "ism" to the Gospel and call it what you like, it is no less the Gospel.
As C.H. Spurgeon put it, "Socalled 'Calvinism' is the Gospel, and nothing more."
In Romans 9 we read, "Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?"
In Jeremiah, "Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?"
When reading John 3, do you imagine for even a moment that you are able to give birth to yourself, either physically or spiritually?
As the word says in Ephesians 2, faith is a gift, and God doesn't give this gift to most.
Remember this when watching these YouTube false teachers railing against God, His grace, and His chosen.

[brycejeffcoat]

Calvanism is really easy to debunk when you create a strawman version of it and then debunk it. Come on man, this is just dishonest or lazy. Literally everything you said about Calvinism or claimed that a calvinist would say is totally false. I am fine with disagreeing with you over this doctrine, but at the very least don't slander or misrepresent those who disagree with you.

[erixxu]

Very good sermon, pointing out the key point that Calvinism misleading people.

[epsyuma]

Most Calvinists are Bible-believing, scripture-reading, born-again saved, orthodox teaching, and Jesus-saved Christians. Funny, I don't hear or see videos on Youtube of Calvanists telling others that you are evil. I don't hear any Christian love or charity in your words. Why aren't you preaching the gospel, instead of spending this time demeaning Christian people you don't understand? I am willing to bet you have never read a single book by John Calvin, yet you know all about him, from watching Youtube videos.

Helpful information against the heresy of Calvinism. The TULIP chart was valuable.
A. W. Pink was an Englishman who did some preaching in the early to mid 1900s in America with a couple years in Australia. He did preach against another heresy called Dispensationalism while simultaneously embracing Calvinism. Later in life, Pink seems to ease his hold of Calvinism and from his writings, opens the door to "whosoever will". His opportunities to preach were withdrawn and he relied on his "newsletter" for much of his support. He died virtually alone and isolated, on the edge of the earth in Stornoway, Scotland 1952.
The best armament against the beast of heresy is to immerse oneself in the truth, the word of God found in the KJV.

[believein]

Amen and Amen. God Bless you and your ministry.

[rolandovelasquez]

Yes. Very clear and concise explanation. Perfect.
So, John Calvin simply and sincerely got it wrong. It was a huge mistake. Comparable in magnitude to the Roman Catholic misunderstanding of Matthew 16:18.
John Calvin's god would be a pathologically insane person who creates thousands of millions of persons for no other reason than to send them to burn in hell forever, "for his glory". Said doctrine has caused and continues to cause untold damage within and without the body of Christ. Ever heard of deconstruction? Most deconstructionists come from Calvinistic churches. And you know what? They are entirely correct in rejecting Calvin's god, which, praise God forevermore, does not exist.

Let's just look at what Scripture says.

2 Thessalonians 2:13-14
But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Who is giving thanks to God always? Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy (see 1:1)
For whom are Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy thankful? The readers of this letter, brethren beloved by the Lord; the Christians at Thessalonica.
Why are Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy thankful? Because God chose the brethren at Thessalonica.
For what where they chosen? Salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.
When did God choose them? From the beginning.
How did God call them? By our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Again, for what were the Christians at Thessalonica chosen? For salvation.
When were they chosen? From the beginning.

Is there anything from the context that would show that this plain meaning is not saying this? No.
What is the context? The Christians at Thessalonica should be assured that they are saved, that the Day of the Lord has not yet come; they haven't missed it. Also, the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the Christians at Thessalonica should stand fast in the traditions they were taught.

Not all reformed are for child baptism. Reformed baptists for example.
