Help a Calvinist Not Reach the Point of Blaspheming the Holy Spirit!
Do you know why calvinism is ultimately wrong and more often than not most calvinists are unsaved? To get to the deepest point of cause and effect, this is the answer.
We were made in God's image (Gen. 1.26,27) with a free-will as God has. This was by His His Spirit when He breathed His Spirit into the body to create a soul life about 6000 years ago in His image. He foreknew it: we are known before the foundations of the world: predestinated by foreknowledge our choice (Rom. 8.29). God's foreknowledge is infinite, even beyond that.
Calvinists say they are totally deprave, which means they believe they can no longer be in God's image to choose to come to the cross and be drawn by God for God to grace them with His life.
So, they actually kill the image of God and worship another. In thinking they are totally deprave, they must believe they had to have been irresistably and unconditionally predesigned, premade and preselected like robots to be atoned for limitedly, rather than God atoning for the sins of the whole world in which some who repent would then be saved as others reject and resist grace, and are conditionally unelected.
Cause and effect are at stake here: (1) God predestinated by foreknowledge our choice (Rom. 8.29); then (2) He made us in His image 6000 years ago (Gen. 1.26,27); then (3) the first Adam fell, men were born into sin; (4) redemption was offerred through propriation of the Christ; and finally (5) those who look to the cross - from the right of being made in God's image, not by the will of the flesh, for no man can be saved by the flesh that must die on the cross - or back at the cross does not matter, it is still the same eternal cross of salvation by the shedding of the blood in forgiveness of sins.
In none of these 5 steps does God elect the person, before they can be saved, and before they can believe. This is the evil of calvinism that their god would premake people for hell, just for hell, and others just for heaven like they are robots, even zombies. You can tell this to calvinists over and over and it can't reach their conscience of their intuitive spirit because the head is the problem, and this information first must enter their head to reach their spirit.
One quirk you will notice in talking to calvinists is they will avoid like the plague the fact of man remaining being in the image of God after the fall. They have to avoid this, because they can't stand that it is by this image graced upon man that man has that choice to come to salvation of the grace to receive the gift of eternal life.
