Why Calvinism doesn't match the Bible

-



 Today a ever-increasing idea is that of Calvinism. 

An idea that believes that God didn't die for everyone and that we are predestinated before the world.

I believe that this is absolutely horrible. It is unbiblical and goes against all God is.

Over the past year I have been interested on this subject.

And the more I read about it, the more I am disgusted with this idea that God didn't die for everyone.

But what does the Bible say about this topic??

1. Calvinism Teaches Limited Atonement
Calvinism claims that Jesus only died for the elect—a doctrine known as Limited Atonement. This means His death was not for all people, but only for those predestined to be saved.

What the Bible says:

  • John 3:16 – "For God so loved the world..."

  • 1 John 2:2 – "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."

  • Hebrews 2:9 – "...that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man."

Scripture makes it clear that Christ died for all. Limiting the atonement is wrong.

2. Calvinism Denies Free Will in Salvation
Calvinists teach that man is so dead in sin that he cannot respond to God unless God first regenerates him. This removes any choice or responsibility from the individual.

What the Bible says:

  • Joshua 24:15 – "Choose you this day whom ye will serve..."

  • Revelation 22:17 – "...whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."

  • Romans 10:13 – "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

God clearly offers salvation to all and expects a response from everyone. Free will is not denied in Scripture—it is assumed.

3. Calvinism Misrepresents God's Character
If God chooses to save some and pass over others, then He is showing love for some and not love for others. Calvinism teaches that God is not willing to save everyone, even though He could.

What the Bible says:

  • 2 Peter 3:9 – "The Lord... is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

  • 1 Timothy 2:4 – "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."

God's love is universal. Calvinism portrays a God who only loves a select few, which is not the God of the Bible.

This is My family This is my Mom and Dad. I love spending time with them. My Dad is the one that led  me to the Lord. I appreciate all that they are to me. They are fun to be around and show a great example of a good marriage. This is my older brother Josh and his wife Tabitha. He is an awesome older brother and they are actually my youth leaders. They are the best youth group leaders I could ask for.  They are personable but fun and always challenge us to grow in our walk with the Lord. And they live next door too! This is my oldest sister Beth. She is actually an author. She has written some pretty good books too, if you like the romance and mystery type of book. She is sweet and and is always helping others. And she is single too in case anyone is interested. She is 27 and is a very good cook. But you will have to talk to my dad first. This is my older sister Brenna and her husband AJ. Her and AJ run the bus route for our church and do a great job at it. They have 2 sons, A...

It has been a really good week for me. For July 4th, our church had an activity with ice cream and some really good fireworks. I'm so thankful for our nation!!! Me and my mom were able to sell the last of our spring goats on Sunday! The Goat in the pic is Aurora. She is really pretty but I'm glad she is going to a new home. I have also been doing a bunch of work with my rabbit pens and scheduling out breeding which will start the end of August! My sister Callie recently started an Etsy shop selling unique earrings.  The ducks below are glow in the dark. We had our Good News at the Park today. it went really well and 58 from our church volunteered. I was also to help lead 2 teen guys to the lord as well with a friend. It is always a blessing to hear someone pray and accept Jesus into their heart! The cookies above was from a lady that gave them to me and I'm so glad because these Publix sprinkle cookies are my favorites. Lastly I was able to receive a certificate from the Bi...

What I have Learned from the Rabbit Business.

If you don't know already, I love breeding and selling rabbits. It has been super fun and in today's post, I will be talking about some of the things I have learned from the rabbit business! 1. Pick the breed If you plan on breeding, raising, and selling rabbits, you first start off by picking which breed you want. Do loads of research to find the breed that best's fit your area, cage space and colors. I chose Holland lops. They are relatively smaller and are the most docile rabbit breed out there. There is a good market in North Florida and they work for my set-up. 2. Buy Supplies Next go to your local Rural King and buy all the rabbit supplies. You want to find a bag of grain, timothy hay and a pet water bottle. Also think about buying food dishes, brush, and treats. You can find cages on Facebook Marketplace or just buy a wire cage at the store. I have connected wire cages that are hanged from the roof using heavy-duty wire. You also want to figure out whether you are ke...
