Bible Study - Beware Of False Teachers!

[merthwyn]

Worst thing about Calvinism in your opinion?

Thank you for asking. Although hard to choose, I think predestination is the worst. The more I learn about it, the more I tend to believe it's demonic.

Up until recently I thought predestination was about certain people going to hell and certain people going to heaven, not because of free will but because God decided who goes where before they were even born. And this happens because He is God and He owns so he does whatever He wants with us. This is highly problematic already.

However, it was only this month when I realised that Calvinists believe that ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING is predestined. All evil that's happening in the world is predestined. If a child is raped then it's because God planned the rape for some greater purpose. And if you believe this is wrong you actually claim that God does things without any purpose.

I originally thought I misunderstood them. But no, this is what people like John Piper and James White believe. And it's hard for me to not believe they are right because my own life struggles proves them right. I think I told you before what I ended up believing. I'm predestined to be God's punching bag, to be abused, rejected and so on because there's some purpose in all this and somehow His name will be glorified. If I get raped or my future children get molested or my husband leaves me or gets killed I will have to accept it because this is God's plan. It's not that God is unable to stop this. It's all about whether He is willing to do so, if these serve His plans or not. This is what Calvinists like those I mentioned believe.

If you want to hear more about all these, go listen to Leighton Flowers and Sam Shamoun. I recently discovered them and, in case you don't know them already, they are both former Calvinists who more or less expose the "dark side" of Calvinism (I don't know if there's a bright side but anyway). I listened to this video today which describes more or less what I mentioned above. There's even an abstract of a former Calvinist's testimony who is now an atheist because of Calvinism.

What are your thoughts on it?

It's wild seeing videos of "modest" styles and seeing some influencer put together an outfit that cost thousands of dollars.

That's not modest. It just covers your body. The wealth on display is pretty gratuitous.

I hate that modern religion has rebranded modesty to mean how much titty can be shown and not "be mindful that your displays of wealth don't cause people to covet the material when they're supposed to be meditating on the eternal."

It's actually disgusting that modesty is used to brow beat women for men's behavior. Especially since modesty was created for the most noble purpose of all-

shaming the rich.

THE GREAT FALSE DOCTRINES PART THREE

Time for some uncomfortable topics; false doctrines. The doctrine under scrutiny is this time is oneness Pentecostalism. This is more of an umbrella that term that encompasses several doctrines that all deny the truth of the trinity. One such doctrine is called modalism. This doctrine states that God “transforms” from one state into another, that is to say, He transforms from Father to son to Spirit and back again.

The detractors of this doctrine claim that it has no scriptural basis and it is denying the Godhood of both Christ and the Holy Ghost. What is my take on this doctrine? I believe that the trinity is a non-negotiable for any serious believer. Genesis chapters 1, 15 and Matthew chapter 1 are all evidence of the truth of the trinity. God the father, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit are eternal, unique persons with one essence. It should not be up for discussion, and there is no logical argument against the nature of the trinity.

Rightly Divide to Understand Salvation in the Grace vs. the Kingdom Programs

Introduction: A Common Misunderstanding About Salvation In discussions about salvation, many well-meaning Christians, who do not rightly divide the word of truth, fall into the trap of mixing different biblical instructions intended for distinct audiences and periods. This misunderstanding often stems from combining teachings from Jesus’ earthly ministry with those found in the Apostle Paul’s…

Bible Study - The Heresy Of Adoptionism Exposed!

[merthwyn]

I don't have any updates regarding my faith issues. I still struggle. But I know I can't live without God. I'm just still utterly scared of Him.

The devil thinks he will gain one more non-believer and is partying about it. Well, I may have a distorted image of God but I know very well who the devil is and I don't plan to make him my god. In fact, I'll fight him even if God chooses to abandon me or abuse me to expand the Kingdom.

In the meantime, keep praying for me if you can...

"Behold, you have made for yourselves a graven image, an intricately woven tapestry of man-made doctrine and idolatrous tradition, interlacing sin with sin, all in the name of your “Jesus,” another messiah which you have created in your own image![3] Desecration! Blasphemy! YOU KNOW NEITHER ME, NOR MY WORD!

Thus I call all those who desire to serve Me In truth and righteousness, to tear down Every whitewashed wall of abomination![4]…

For this is not a light matter with Me, But carries great weight, filling the cup of My indignation throughout your generations!…

And behold, I shall surely pour out!…

Until My wrath is satisfied and My anger has abated, Until the whole breadth of the whole earth Is cleansed in the heat of My fury!…

Says The Lord."

THE GREAT FALSE DOCTRINES PART ONE

Time for some uncomfortable topics; false doctrines. First up on the list is the doctrine of hyper grace. This doctrine espouses the theory that once a person becomes a believer in Christ, he or she can live as they desire, with no consequence to their actions. The belief is that since Christ died on the cross and salvation is by faith alone, a human being cannot lose their salvation because they did not earn it. The detractors of this doctrine claim that it comes from the pit of hell and it is meant to spread carnality and disobedience. After all, a child with a handgun will only hurt those around him. What then is my position? I do believe that grace is meant cover the mistakes made by a believer in their walk with God. We are saved by grace through faith and I do believe that a person who is truly saved cannot lose their salvation. However a person who has the Holy Ghost indwelling within them, is a new creation and should want to love and serve God. This desire should result in good works and a changed lifestyle and when we repent, we are asking God to restore us rather than to redeem us again. A person cannot receive salvation and stay the same. Let us examine our hearts and minds and continue to seek the wisdom of the Holy Ghost

Satan’s Propaganda Machine

Satan is a despicable genius who has created a world system which is the ultimate propaganda machine, a vast and sophisticated network of deception designed to enslave the minds of men. As the “god of this world” (2 Cor 4:4), he orchestrates a relentless information war (through various channels), saturating receptive human minds with lies that distort reality, obscure the truth, and keep…

Filthy Lucre

For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. (Titus 1:10-11)

Interesting couple of verses. Why do some false teachers exist? What drives them to preach Christ, where they themselves are not convinced of the Gospel? We are told - for money. They are greedy. Whereas this letter was written to Titus, whom Paul had left at Crete to install teachers and bishops and Paul is describing the character of some Cretans, I think we can take a lesson from this in our day too. What do they teach? They seem to be Jews and they are probably teaching that people need to be circumcised if they want to be saved. This is shorthand for you need to work for your salvation and keep the Jewish Sabbath and get circumcised. Vain - 1. Empty; worthless; having no substance, value or importance. (Websters 1828) Not only is the speech empty, but they are there to deceive. Pay attention. Even though the text does not specifically mention last days, I guess we could apply it to our lifetime too. After all, we do see many false teachers, many greedy for money, some teaching the need to go back to the OT law. Two Ways to Live? I think the lesson here to take heed of the warnings in scripture about false teachers. Not only what they teach, but also their behaviour, or practice. Father, please help up us to be more diligent and better prepared when it comes to spotting false teachers.
