According to YOUR theology, God will only save the people that chose to reject Christ, and I am damned - in spite of any desire on my part to love and serve Him - because my ancestors were living in Northern Europe and the Black Sea region four millennia ago, rather than in Mesopotamia.
To think that people view Calvinism as “hellish” for daring to claim that God chooses to save some people in spite of their objections at the time. I find your ethno-elitism the sort of gross hubris that blinded the Pharisees to the truth and the very antithesis of Christ and Christianity.
I openly, willfully and joyfully reject the damnable gospel (which is no gospel) that you are selling.
A covenant is a promise from God.
There is no faith required in the Abraham covenant.
There is no faith required in the Mosaic covenant.
There is no faith required in the New covenant.
It is a covenant of relation and salvation, which is why Saul said in Romans 11, "...and ALL Israel shall be saved.
It's also why it says in the Jeremiah prophecy of New covenant God doing the saving without faith.
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;
After those days, saith the LORD,
I will put my law in their inward parts,
And write it in their hearts;
And will be their God,
And they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying,
Know the LORD:
For they shall all know me,
From the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD:
For I will forgive their iniquity,
And I will remember their sin no more.
Jer. 31:33–34.
These are acts of God to do to the House of Israel without any requirement of faith.
The problem with Calvinism is they view Scripture from a Gentile mindset. They've stolen Israel's covenant and made it their own. They've stolen terms like "Bride" and Church" and "saint" and made it Gentile refusing to accept that these terms are used to identify Israel - not Gentiles.
Oh, and they've stolen the word "Chosen" which refers to the Chosen people of God who are Israel and make it apply to Gentiles.
This is incontrovertible. The 37 books of the Old Testament record Israel's history, culture, religion, covenants, sacrifices, kingdoms, etc., they are not a history of Gentiles.
What I haven't hear yet is the Gentiles saying THEY are the "apple of God's eye."
Another lie. But Gentiles can't see this unless the Lord opens their mind to His truths, the truths I am posting about for some time now. God will go on hardening hearts and blinding eyes.
