Calvinist Corner - July 2012

I am going to pen (OK, keystroke) a series of short infomercial type blog posts for those that want proof that Calvinist is false. Each post will deal with a specific topic briefly. The collection will be geared toward dispelling the myth that is Calvinism, and the further myth that Christians are either Calvinists, or Arminians.


First up: Let's tackle the concept that the scripture in any way denotes that we are predestined. Of course, this is absolutely false. Calvinists will try to use verses such as Romans 8:29 or even Ephesians 1:11. But these verses talk about what He has predestined for people, not whom will be saved. But is there a verse that directly states this? Yes, there is:


II Timothy 1:9

For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus.

There is it in black & white: God's plan from the beginning of time was to show us His grace through Christ Jesus. Not whom, but what. 

And, we all know the scripture does not contradict itself.
