When you think about 'TULIP, ' how would you define its 'Limited Atonement' as it relates to 'Irresistable Grace'?

How would you refute the latter tenet?

Amen

Interestingly, Trent's own illustration of the prison, also negates the Catholic belief that an infant needs to be baptized. If eternal punishment is the result of being able to do good yet choosing evil, and it is. And salvation is the love of God that offers us mercy because of making a poor decision, and it is. Then an infant can't be punished for a decision it didn't make and cannot receive a salvation that it didn't choose to receive.

Great episode!

We’re forgetting the fact that God does not need to save sinners from their sin. He chose to - who are we as creation to talk back to the creator? God is not obligated to save all creation. Jacob He loved but Esau He hated.

So, show me a passage in scripture where one of the apostles approached a complete stranger to evangelize him and declared to him that "God loves you and wants you to have eternal happiness in Him."

That isn't the gospel. That's Joel Osteen.

Exactly agree this video said, thanks 😊👍🙏

Little Johnny, God has predestined the minority of people to be saved and go to heaven forever, and He has predestined the majority of people to be eternally damned and burn in the fires of hell. We have no idea, little Johnny, if God has predestined you to be forever damned or forever saved.
We love you, little Johnny, but we accept the fact that God might not love you, and that He may have plans to send you to hell for your future sins. If you do find yourself one day burning in hell because He hasn’t elected to save you, just remember that we will always love you, even if God hates you.
Take comfort knowing that we are not like God.
We will be in heaven forever only because we were unconditionally chosen for salvation before we were born. That would be the only reason that we won’t be in hell with you if you find yourself there. It won’t be because of anything we did.
So also take comfort in knowing that. It may not seem fair, but who are we to judge God?
So again, if you find yourself in hell, remember that we will always love you as we forever worship the God who loved us but who hated you, the God who sent His Son to die for us but not for you.
Please, we ask, don’t let it bother you—if you find yourself in hell—that we love the God who hated you and showed you no mercy. We must accept the fact that God is sovereign, and He does what He pleases.

My dear beloved Calvinist, will you teach that to your children or grandchildren?
I suspect that your answer will be “never.” But why not?

Why would you ever hide the wonderful “doctrines of grace, ” the “Bible truth, ” from your own children or grandchildren?

TRUTH IN LOVE

I doubt this channel guy has read an actual calvinist book let alone calvin. He always goes to a text or two, reads it and then concludes, "See, it is easy to refute these people". and then pats himself on the back as he does not see how embarrassed he should be and after 5-6 vids from him, adios.
Nothing here.

If Calvinism is true, then God's decree is the primary cause of everything - which means He is the architect of everything that unfolds. If someone had the sickest, most disgusting thought leading to the most disgusting actions like what happens in "The Sound of Freedom", it's because God FIRST thought of that disgusting behavior Himself, assigned the thoughts, motives, and actions to that person from before the foundation of the world, planned it, and made it happen with complete specificity so every dialed in detail of every heinous sin happened exactly how HE planned it and brought it to be.

THAT is why Calvinism is not only wrong, but disgusting. It's not anywhere near what the Bible portrays God to be. He cannot even LOOK upon evil, let alone plan it - as John Piper also says. When Calvinists are preaching the gospel to the lost world and portraying our God in this way, we have to wrangle the gospel out of their hands so the person doesn't get such a wrong idea about our God and reject Him because they saw a false version of the True God. God is so good! He is BETTER than we think He is! Calvinism makes Him recognizably so much worse!
