The problem is that the same "Bible" completely contradicts Calvinism. He believes in Calvinism because he read the Bible with predetermined ideas.

As for me and my house we will stay as far away from Calvinism as possible.

For the Believer…

People tend to exaggerate man’s ability. People claim the sovereignty of god but idolize and lift up man above the power of God. Mans free will, man’s choices, man’s desires, men’s apparent God giving gift of free thought and unlimited free choice.

Reality-

You cannot undo, change, shift or influence the outcome of the sovereignty of God.

Truth-

The sovereignty of God overcomes our blunders, our mistakes, our fumbles.

Cold reality-

Everything played out in the linear time was preplanned - foreknown and predestined by God himself.

So the next time you worry about screwing up a witness to an unbeliever remember that even that screwup was a part of the plan.

Never dare to assume that your own contribution caused your salvation.

You did not cooperate with Grace

You did not learn or realize who God was.

You weren’t allowed anything beyond what God allowed first.

So why would an unworthy sinner have any kind of authoritative power over the power and sovereignty of God? Either God is a Big God or he’s a god that needs your free will help.

Remember that the next time you share the word of God with an unbeliever and remember …while the whole world lies in the power of the evil one, the redeemed AND unredeemed lie in the power of the sovereignty of God and every word uttered from your mouth is the plan and action of God.

Don’t just be bold, be confident that every word spoken is not yours but his. Your mistakes are your perceptions. They neither undo nor shift or change the outcomes of God.

That is reformed theology.

Let me clear this misunderstanding with a simple summary of Calvinism & Reformed theology: Satan wants everyone. God does not.
You're welcome.

I thought that was Larry David at first

[eagleone-fflz]

Free will forgot how corrupted limited human brains is after sin

[steventaylor]

Yeah, even if it completely defies rationality and critical thought, just believe just because okay....

[HJM]

Take your own advice Piper! Believe what the Bible says about God!

[willpower]

I believe the piece where Jesus died for the sins of the whole world.
John 1:29
1 John 2:2
John 3:16.

[BruceThePugDog]

Forsake all theologians and their doctrines. Christ is the head and the Spirit will lead you to all truth.

[TheRomansGuy]

If you cared about the Bible, John, there would be no such thing as Calvinism.

[petrovlemashenko]

Capitalism Theology it is literally the study of God

[paulbortolazzo]

Calvinism is not biblical, nor from the Holy Spirit. John Piper is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, deceiving the body of Christ with a false gospel.

[Andy-mb]

Mixing truth and the lies of Calvinism.

[adrianagasino]

Only a Calvinist will say what he said 😂
