Amen, hallelujah, God is sovereign...holy, hallowed, set apart. He does what He pleases and for His glory!

Hey Keith, I am a 5-point Calvinist; I'm on your team. But, I am concerned with your flippant use of “heretic” to refer to the different members of the body of Christ who disagree with us.

How do you define “heretic”?

[daddada]

Stay away from calvinism.
Stay away from fanaticism of men.
Follow Jesus, become a Christian.

[birybenjamin]

God gives grace to whom He desires;
God already knows people's hearts and He knows who's heart is obedient and who's heart is not, ;
He predestined his people already.

God will have mercy on whom He will have mercy. If you keep reading it says God has bound all men to disobedience to have mercy on them all. God’s mercy and grace is for all, His grace is for all but you must have faith in Jesus Christ, you must receive the gift of grace. No Non Calvinists hate Calvinists, you are bearing false witness against your neighbor. We simply and lovingly disagree about the Bible saying That Jesus didn’t die for the World, or desires all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.

[st.christopher]

Actually, the truth is that God hates the Calvinist heresy, even though Christ died for the Calvinist heretics themselves.
✝️🙏🏼😇

This is why Calvinist are not taken seriously. If its a biblical position and people reject it then its heresy, but to say if people reject Calvinism, as if he wrote it, then they are heretics. We are not called ot preach the Gospel of John Calvin, but that of Jesus Christ. If my theology aligns with scripture and Calvin happens to agree that's great, but I don't go around stating that I am following anyone other than Christ.

Don’t stop sharing biblical truth …. Because sharing biblical truth is the most loving thing you can do for someone. Tell them God’s eternal freight train of judgment is well on the way!! Repent!!

[JesusSaviorJudge]

R C says it best….He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy….

[dinovalente]

Where in the Bible is Sola Scriptura taught? What according to the Bible is the "pillar and bulwark of truth"? Who put the New Testament Canon together and by what authority were certain books excluded?

[daddada]

Calvinism God created people then determined them to be in hell... we are blessed that is not the God of the bible & not the God of Christianity.

[kevinwells]

So, God just randomly chooses to bestow grace and mercy on whomever without rhyme or reason? I get that some people do more wrong and thereby require more grace but ... Wow ...

This is the kind of God Richard Dawkins says we believe in: capricious. He just randomly sends some people on to eternal damnation, but then goes on to save others because He feels like it? How is that just? We say God is "just" and "loving" ... How is that loving? I get that **in this life** we will find trouble and things might not be fair ... **in this life** we might not see justice ... but after this life, the judgment. *That* is when God's "justice" will be on full display ... and in THIS life, things might not work out ... and I am okay with that ... but you're saying God is playing favorites, Keith. How does that square with Him being just? And please explain to me from the Calvinist perspective how God is *not* the capricious monster Richard Dawkins makes Him out to be?

I went through "The God Delusion, " and my conclusion was, "If God was actually the way Richard Dawkins made Him out to be, I would denounce God and become an atheist, too ... but, Richard is mistaken. God is not actually like he describes. Where is Richard getting this stuff about Christianity?" Apparently from the Calvinists ...

... and you have a Spurgeon quote while playing an RC soundbite ... that's a little confusing, but ... that's just off topic constructive criticism ...

Ephesians 1: Redemption in Christ
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will

1 John 3:Sin and the Child of God 4Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

2 Corinthians 6:Be Holy 14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
17 Therefore
“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”

John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Romans 8:Sonship Through the Spirit
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

1 John 5:Knowing the True—Rejecting the False 18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

1 Samuel 15:22 So Samuel said: “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord?Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.(21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.)
Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king.”

1 Peter 1:Greeting to the Elect Pilgrims 2 elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:

1 Peter 1:A Heavenly Inheritance 10 Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, 11 searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. 12 To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which angels desire to look into.
Living Before God Our Father13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
17 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your [f]stay here in fear; 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you 21 who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

John 11:The Plot to Kill Jesus 49 And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, 50 nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.” 51 Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

Leviticus 20:Penalties for Breaking the Law 26 And you shall be holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine.

[carlandre]

Grace does not need any adjectives to explain it.
Your videos are walking on thin ice.
False teachers cause division where there should be no division.
in other words there are things to be divisive about and then there are not.
Your expression orders on hatred. learn what it means to be humble and merciful.
This not the inquisition
R.C Sproul is not infallible and Calvinism is a wrong interpretation of many verses in the Bible.
This does not make him a false teacher.
Just means people can sincerely make mistakes.

[rauldelarosa]

If you call Calvinism salvific and condemning anyone who's not a Calvinist you sir are adding to the scriptures.

RC Sproul was a liar and lied about Arminians and what we believe...
You repeating sound bites from dead preachers is a narrative that you must push.
