06:50 Calvinist's position on whether God can truly love us

[Sousabird]

Sorry Calvinist friends, I was predestined to find Calvinism unconvincing.

[LukeBowman]

being a Prot, i dont understand why it is more popular to critique Catholic ideas of salvation rather than Calvinistic ones. I still disagree with Catholics but at least we can say to anyone that God loves them so much that in order to save us from our sin be in relationship with Him, He sent His Son to die for you. great vid!

"Jesus loves me, this I know
As for you, debatable.
If you're elect, He loves you still,
but if you're not, He never will!"

Calvinist Nursery Rhyme

[adambombdiggidy]

I never understood the appeal of Calvinism. To me, it always sounded like Protestant-flavored nihilism. Because if God only chooses his elect, then nothing we do in life matters.

[bruhmingo]

Agreed, Trent. Calvinism always felt like an unnecessary solution to a non existent problem.

[josephantony]

This is what I find funny about Calvinists. They have the audacity to smear Catholics, when their theology is not only Unbiblical, but an insult to God's Divine Mercy.

[blueberrysunday]

I don't know how my Catholic brothers and sisters feel about it, but as an ecumenical Christian, Calvinism is the most irritating Christian theology.

Former Calvinist who was predestined to find the truth of the Catholic faith

I'm a former Calvinist. I remember having this same problem; I couldn't tell people God loves them. James White would likely counter that the Gospel isn't that God loves you so much, begging you to turn to him but he just can't because of the Almighty will of man, but the Gospel is a command. Yet it begs the question: if the Gospel is a command to repent, in Calvinism, God is commanding you to do something he made you unable to do, even worse, not only can you not do it, you were determined to never do it. That's not love and yes, the Gospel is all above God's love.

Calvinism "Damned if you do, damned if you don't".

[sakoffie]

I grew up with evangelical parents and cultural Calvinism, now I'm Catholic. Just remember though, you must pray for Calvinists. I love Calvinists, because I was once one of them and I belong to a Calvinist ethnic group.

Number one thing Calvinists can't say is Worcestershire sauce

[stephenjohnson]

Calvinism is a system held by those who want you to be impressed that they have the courage and intellect to accept such a “hard” teaching.

Although I’m not a Catholic (I’m a nondenominational Christian), I’m very thankful you uploaded this video. I used to be a Calvinist and I’m so thankful I’m not anymore. God bless.

[DanOcchiogrosso-ujbe]

The three men pictured on the video thumbnail each stared ministries that have brought the gospel of John 3:16 to countless people around the world. I have personally heard all three express the need for believers to evangelize. But when people come to Christ through the gospel message, they also teach believers that they didn’t repent because of how smart or pious they were; rather because God chose them in grace.

We have no problem admitting that the fullness of Trinity is a mystery beyond our human understanding. Why does it have to be “inconsistent“ for human responsibility and God’s sovereignty to coexist? Simply because our human minds don’t fully grasp it?

[calebpearce]

A settled Anabaptist here to say this video is spot on. Can’t say enough how much I appreciate that Trent did not frame this video in a Catholic vs Protestant polemic, but kept it limited to Calvinism’s most serious problem.

[ToddJambon]

I don't remember any of this in Calvin and Hobbes.

[ArthurAndSons]

Thank you Trent. Much love and respect from the Philippines ❤️🇵🇭🇻🇦Viva Cristo Rey

As a convinced Protestant this is where I have to say the Catholic Church is correct. Calvinism seems to oversimplify the sovereignty of God to a necessary Omni-causal attribute of God rather than a Lordship he has over all things. In the one hand God is free to offer salvation on whatever conditions He sees fit in accordance to His perfect and pleasing will. But when in His Word He specifically says His love and Grace is freely offered to all and Salvation to all who believe I struggle to understand how anyone can be a 5 point Calvinist. To my Protestant brothers and sisters please consider the pastoral effects of adopting such a position when it comes to our evangelistic efforts.
