The Lies Of Calvinism

Rob Rufus Talks on the Lies of Calvinism and how it affects us and himself.

Thank you Rob for sharing this overview of 5 point Calvinism, for me I feel like you're on the money, it's a word for this season for the body of Christ. I'm sure you could unpack your message with eloquence and detail to clarify the nuances of God's Word. But this wasn't the time for it, even though I'd love to hear it 😉 Thank you for sharing your testimony. You are a prophetic teacher who is not afraid to tackle the elephant in the room but you put it out there like a Martin Luther nailing his 95 theses to the Church door in Wittenberg. Love your heart for Jesus. Power on!

Please understand PREDESTINATION before doing any critics. What you are explaining here as predestination is actually determinism. God created free will for a reason, and his predestination lies also with taking account of free will. God did not tell Eve to eat the apple, or tell Adam to listen to Eve. But God has determined the consequences. And we also need to realise that the suffering in the world is our fault. But the agenda of the gospel of prosperity is to let christism believe that it is not God’s will that bad things happen to us. Romans 8:28 shows us that God works in all circumstances, and when Paul asked to be healed from his ills, God said no because His grace should be sufficient. Predestination is not about God determining all things that happen in your life. It is about God oredestinating all who believe in Him to spend eternity with Him.

But you are not differentiating between the different kinds of God's will, and it is causing you to slip into error.

God has a will that can be likened to "desire" in the sense of God's inclinations which directly relates to Hid character and nature (cf. 1 Timothy 2:4). God has a will of decree, that is, His eternal purpose that He providentially carries out in time (cf. Ephesians 1:11, Daniel 4:35). God has a moral will, or a will of command, this is God's will whereby He makes "ought" statements to creation, such as in the 10 Commandments, or in places like 1 Thessalonians 4:3.

God’s actions are always determined by His eternal purposes (Ephesians 3:9-11), not His desires, therefore this means that God disapproves of some of the things that He ordains, and some of the things that He desires, He does not ordain.

This is a fundamental truth that helps explain some otherwise perplexing things in the Bible, namely, that God often expresses his will to be one way, and then acts to bring about another state of affairs, such as:
(1) God opposes hatred toward His people, and yet He ordained that His people be hated in Egypt (Genesis 12:3; Psalm 105:25— “He (that is, Yahweh) caused them to hate his people, and to mistreat his servants.”)
(2) He hardens Pharaoh’s heart, but He commands him to let His people go (Exodus 4:21; 5:1; 8:1).
(3) He makes plain that it is sin for David to take a military census of his people, and yet He ordains that he do just that (2 Samuel 24:1; 24:10).
(4) He opposes adultery, but He ordains that Absalom should lie with his father’s wives (Exodus 20:14; 2 Samuel 12:11).
(5) He forbids rebellion and insubordination against the king, but He ordained that Jeroboam and the ten tribes should rebel against Rehoboam (Romans 13:1; 1 Samuel 15:23; 1 Kings 12:15-16).
(6) He opposes murder, but He ordains the murder of His Son (Exodus 20:13; Acts 4:28).
