Calvinism vs. Arminianism | Did Jesus Die for Everybody?

I contrast the third of the five points of Calvinism and Arminianism. Calvinism is a theological system associated with the reformer John Calvin who emphasized God's sovereignty. Calvinism is often summarized with five points: total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints. Arminianism is a school of theology based on the teachings of Dutch theologian, Jacob Arminius. Arminianism offers their own five points: free will, conditional election, universal atonement, resistible grace, and falling from grace. This debate will contrast limited vs. unlimited atonement. Calvinism argues that Jesus' death on the cross paid for the sins for only those whom God has predetermined to save, namely the elect. They argue that since only the elect of God will be saved, Jesus must have died only for them. Arminianism argues that Jesus died for everyone and that those who respond by faith will experience the benefits of his death, namely atonement.

What makes the Good News Good is that it is ALL of God for His ultimate Glory that no man may boast. There is no such thing as a Calvinist cult. The vast majority of heretics are Arminian. Why? It is simple. If your gospel relies upon the will of man, man is sovereign and God is impotent. If God is impotent, then He cannot be God. But, He IS GOD. Therefore, Arminianism is false and promotes a false god and therefore a false and impotent gospel that is no good news at all. The JWs are Arminian as well as all others who deny the Trinity. They are consistent, Arminian, Anabaptists.

If Jesus only died for a select few, then it leads to the question, "how does one get selected?"

Love your videos! I believe in unlimited atonement. Everyone has a chance for salvation. What do YOU personally believe?

[michaelbolding]

Actually, the concept of total depravity of man, the concept of election and the sovereignty of God began with the writings of Augustine as he was addressing the issue of Pelagianism. It was a matter of synergism (man cooperating with God by choosing Christ) and monergism (God acting sovereignly in salvation of man by regenerating a dead heart). If God is sovereign over all, then He will not lose any of His children.

rare to see someone represent Calvinism fairly

Well done. Glad you stayed away from the heb 5:9 scripture. Requires study to understand.

The Greek word All in 1 John 2:2 is holos.

Which is different from Luke 2:1



Holos means wholly, complete.

Its hermanuetically impossible to believe in limited Attonment

[globalyexperts]

Salvation is not an offer to anyone its the Will of God for His elected and for His Glory some will go Hell and Some in heaven believe it or not, its not in your hands you have no access to it. Human dead in their sin they cannot regenerate themselves. Its like a dead man brought himself to life, thats utter nonsense. You cannot be christian untill God wants you to be one. Keep reading scriptures and sink yourself in it. : )
