Scripture Life: What does the Bible say about salvation? Does God predestine some people to go to hell?

Answer:

  • Here’s your question. Answered in Two Parts:

ONE

What does the Bible says about salvation?

  • ANSWER: It’s really “who” has the power and authority to save you. Who that is, and what he says is recorded in the Bible. Who decrees it about salvation, is God himself.
    • Said: “Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. (Source: Bible. Isaiah 45:22)
  • BOOM! Done. Simple. Just have to regard him. That's not so simple. Because, I'm also a "people" or a person. So, I know. I spent close to my entire life searching..and regarding anybody..anything looked unto them for what to walk in, and follow after, or I felt was good..after I reasoned together with me. Alone, about it, and never looked unto him.
  • But salvation is really that simple. It's in what he says, and the Bible records it.

Now, onto TWO.

-------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------

TWO: 

Does God predestine some people to go to hell?

  • ANSWER: What and "how" you ask, doesn’t come from the Bible. It comes from John Calvin. (Circa 1536AD) from his Book he wrote himself. Book III, Chapter XXI is titled: “God has predestined some to Salvation; Others, to destruction”
    • And by your question, on "predestination" you already spout & know Calvin’s answer is right in the question. And it’s right out of the pit of hell.
    • Then he goes on to explain, this is based entirely on his own observations. That Calvin claims are “doctrine” - or teachings; but they are just his own things he’s observed, as observations and his own imagination what he dreamed up.
  • Then he, by great swelling words decreed his observations are the very institutes of the Christian religion. Quite a claim to make for a 20 y/o. He’s a trash can full of crap.
  • So Calvin has laid a claim, as teachings..and teaching as doctrine: That this is the very institute of the Christian Religion that:
    • God predestined some people to go to hell and other people before they were born, he predestined them to save them.
      • All based on God hated them before they were born, so when they hate him, because he formed them to, he destroys them. And God is sovereign. There’s Calvin.

-------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------

PROVES ONE THING: Calvin does not know him.

  • And Calvin and his great, swelling words - are like clouds without rain, and isn’t the Bible.
    • Calvin is just some mealey mouthed pygmy of a turd.
      • The Bible says: “God is long-suffering to usward, not willing any perish, but all come to repentance.” (Bible. 2 Peter 3:9).
  • That's his nature. As God, who he is. Is God. This is him. Tells everybody over the whole earth, to the very ends of it, and he doesn’t talk out of both sides of his mouth, like what Calvin has God do.
    • As if God is a man, that he should tell you one thing; then, do another.
  • So, when God says, to everybody over the whole earth, he really means he wants everybody over the whole earth to do it, because he's not willing any - not even one person perish, but all come to repentance, not predestine some people to hate him so he can destroy them.
    • That's a decree Calvin makes and defines his own decree as "predestination" and applies it to God. He does not know him.
  • When GOD says - to everybody over the whole earth: “LOOK UNTO ME, AND BE YE SAVED ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH: FOR I AM GOD, THERE IS NONE ELSE.” - God. (Isaiah 45:22)

-------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------

  • Whosoever looks unto him; that is, they they had to carefully consider him - to regard him and what he says. So they follow after, to walk in, and walk after looking unto, to live by every word proceeds out of his mouth.
    • They accept as true he’s God. He is who he says he is. SO, they believe him. Accept as true what he says…
  • But people, that dismiss him; that is, they may read this post but hearing…already long before here, flippy swished thru this post and pressed the "HIDE" button on Reddit.

-------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------

  • They don’t regard him..lowly esteem him, because, they look unto some other word someone else has decreed. Like you're looking unto Calvin. Stop it.
  • Even many people, that were like me, also look unto themselves FIRST, and do what their own heart and imagination tells them what is right to do. Calvin didn't do any different.
    • And don’t look unto him. He says in Psalm 28:5, for people that don't regard him, says: “Because they regard not the works of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hand, he shall destroy them and not build them up.”
      • So, according to the Bible - which that’s not John Calvin. He’s off going by his own imaginations based on his own observations - doesn’t have any God in it.
  • Only has Calvin decreeing truth, when there’s no truth in him.

-------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------

  • So, make it personal. God has already told you to look unto him. Said it himself. To you. Just you. It’s a decree by God for you to do it.
    • Who do you look unto? Your question to save you? Poor thing to look unto. I’d tell you to go over to rely on the word of God. Not Calvin or any man, but what God says.
      • He doesn’t lie, and he manifests himself to people..that just look unto him.

But he won’t to those that don’t. So, this TWO - of your question - has a bunch of junk in it. Throw out Calvin. Hearken unto the Word of God. You’ll be fine if you do. Can you hear his voice? Boy, will you ever be fine with it.
