One week, Andy told the kids that we'd have dessert again on Wednesday. We didn't talk about it anymore and on Wednesday, Hope-e asked, "is it Wednesday?" I said, why do you ask? And, she said, we're eating dessert tonight! Ha! She is an eater. The first to ask about snack or what are we having for dinner. She's started "savoring" her sweet snacks lately to the point that everyone else is finished and she will ask if she can save some for later.
She is also usually the messiest eater at the table...she is just so focused on eating that she can't seem to remember to eat carefully and keep her mouth shut. I thought she would have grown out of this by now, but she still talks with food in her mouth. Self control is our main focus right now.
UNCONDITIONAL DAMNATION
ReplyDeleteThe five points of Calvinism should be expressed as unconditional damnation.
The premise of Calvinism that men have no free-will and that men can only be saved if God predetermines each person for salvation.
Calvinism teaches that men are saved by unconditional election.
The antithesis of unconditional election is unconditional damnation.
THE FIVE POINTS OF CALVINISM
1. Total Depravity: Man is totally depraved so he cannot choose or desire God.
If total depravity is true, then unless men are unconditional elected for salvation, they are unconditionally damned to hell for all eternity.
2. Unconditional Election: God unconditionally elects those whom He has predetermined to save.
If unconditional election is true, then conversely all others areunconditionally damned, lost outside of Christ.
3. Limited Atonement: Jesus died only for those who have been unconditionally elected for salvation.
If limited atonement is a Biblical fact, then all who are not unconditionally elected for salvation will die in their sins because they will face unconditional damnation.
4. Irresistible Grace: When God calls the elect for salvation, they cannot resist.
Those who are not called by irresistible grace will beunconditionally damned and will spend eternity in the lake of fire.
5. Perseverance of the Saints: Once you have been unconditionally elected for salvation you can never be lost. Once saved always saved.
If God did not unconditionally give you the faith so you could believe and be saved, and you have no free-will to believe or reject Jesus; then you are unconditionally damned. You are once damned always damned.
God does not unconditionally save anyone nor is anyoneUNCONDITIONALLY DAMNED.
THERE ARE NO POINTS OF CALVINISM THAT ARE SUPPORTED BY SCRIPTURE. [Read the whole New Testament and understand God's plan for mankind]
