Works based religion.
IE: "Arminianism"Arminianism, {the alternative doctrine to Calvinism} must exclude God's attribute of omnipotency.
Their reason behind this heresy is that when all power is vested in God this precludes human input to salvation. Thus to honour the Arminian hypothesis of "man must cooperate with God to save" (or salvation by works) unto salvation, the Arminian must find a way round God's omnipotence and sovereignty. Thus the god of the Arminian, free willer, Roman Catholic and Liberal is an image contrived by the sinner to allow human action - human faculty - or "human" faith to contribute to the work of salvation. This in effect is the idolatry of the Arminian, free will brigade. This is why we find some in the church reducing the Biblical definition of sovereignty of God. Thus teaching a weaker or lesser god. Many churches and denominations today teach this human ideology of unbiblical Arminianism; - They are false churches and false teachers. The solution to this fallacy is Calvinism as taught in Scripture. |

"Look closer", and you might just see yourself in a mirror, as it were.
John 9:24-31 KJV Another random bunch of verses which have nothing to do with the discussion John? What is that the Arminian art of deflection?Your Arminian heart refuses to receive the omnipotence of God within His creation. "3. And truly God claims omnipotence to himself, and would have us to acknowledge it,—not the vain, indolent, slumbering omnipotence which sophists feign, but vigilant, efficacious, energetic, and ever active,—not an omnipotence which may only act as a general principle of confused motion, as in ordering a stream to keep within the channel once prescribed to it, but one which is intent on individual and special movements. God is deemed omnipotent, not because he can act though he may cease or be idle, or because by a general instinct he continues the order of nature previously appointed; but because, governing heaven and earth by his providence, he so overrules all things that nothing happens without his counsel. For when it is said in the Psalms, “He has done whatsoever he has pleased,” (Ps. 115:3), the thing meant is his sure and deliberate purpose. ...." (Calvin Inst: 16) |

Is not the word for everything foreordained "Fatalism"? You Arminians still want to fight in every corner for human power beyond God, don't you. By your constant insistence that God is partially dissociated from specific actions of creation you are planting the seed of doubt - Which is the ultimate aim of free will Arminian heresy. God is sovereign over the existence of all that exists. The true Christian knows this to be true and it is not a problem for him. But those who want human intervention to play a part or seek by sin to raise themselves above Total Depravity, inveigle by whatever sinful means to superimpose human faculty upon God's purpose and plan. Idolatry is where your heart is John. It would appear you don't understand or comprehend God, Christ and the Holy Spirit. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. ....." Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear |

God created the tree. That is not a cause of disobedience, neither first nor second. God created millions of trees shrubs and plants in the garden.But only ONE tree of the knowledge of good and evil. What was the purpose of that ONE trees existence? The purpose was worked out in the Covenant of Redemption by the Trinity when they met before the world began. Question: If that particular tree was not there in the garden six thousand years ago, would Adam and Eve have committed that original sin? |

If WCF accepted the obvious truth that "neither is God the author of sin," it would not have said he unchangeably ordains "whatsoever comes to pass." Mike; Who planted the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? |
