Calvin's God is CRUEL!
Показать описание
The atonement is limited? No. There is a limited response to atonement. (Romans 1:16)
God dooms people to Hell? No. Unbelievers go to Hell. (2 Peter 3:9)
We are punished in Hell for our sins? No. We are punished for our unbelief. (John 3:18)
Calvin's version of God is loving? No. The God of the Bible is loving. (Romans 8:39)
Jesus only died for the elect? No. Jesus' sacrifice is only efficacious for those who believe. (1 Timothy 4:10)
We must confess our sins daily? No, not for salvation. ALL of our sins are immediately forgiven the moment we are saved. (Colossians 2:13)
We must work to prove salvation? No. We work to show thankfulness for our salvation. (Romans 12:1)
Please note: A full discussion of the scope of the atonement is not found in Calvin’s writings. However, we can deduce from his writings that he believed in a "definite atonement" a.k.a. limited atonement. For instance the following quote from Calvin points to this: “I should like to know how the wicked can eat the flesh of Christ which was not crucified for them, and how they can drink the blood which was not shed to expiate their sins.” Also many of his followers, most notably Beza did deal explicitly with limited atonement, a matter to which Calvin never disagreed.
