Jesus is the Gospel; Calvinism is not. The gospel is centered on Jesus Christ, and everything that emanates from Jesus is “gospel truth.” And what is it that emanates from Jesus Christ? Everything! From the creation of the universe to the future of the universe, all is dependent upon Jesus Christ. The truths about reconciliation, redemption, and resurrection all require Jesus Christ.

That's why they can't see the Light! Now I get it. Blindman leading the blind.Really friend?
Calvinists look right at Bible verses that clearly say one thing and they essentially go "Yes, it says that, but what God really means is ..."
Calvinist preachers will say "I am only teaching right from Scripture! We always need to go right to Scripture to see what the text says."... but then they subtly spin the verse in a Calvinist way or tie a Calvinist belief onto the end of a biblical truth. A little bait-and-switch. (I've seen it happen.) But since you heard "right from Scripture," you trust that they're teaching "right from Scripture" and you let your guard down, shut off your critical-thinking discernment skills, put on the Calvinist glasses, and let them tell you what to think.
Never shut off your critical-thinking discernment skills! Never let others tell you what to think! Always run what people say (even what I say!) through Scripture, even if - especially if - they tell you they are "only preaching Scripture." How do you think error and heresy slips in?
By announcing itself with bells and whistles, shouting "hey, I'm a heretical, unbiblical idea"? No. It slips in slyly, subtly, slowly, with the appearance of looking biblical. A little twist here, a little tweak there, a little "Did God really say ..." along the way, so that you don't notice what's happening, until it's too late. (See "Exposing Calvinism: My comment on Calvinist twists.")
Calvinists use this "Yes, but ..." approach (see "The Calvinist's Big Ugly 'But'") because they evidently believe God has blessed them with some sort of superior insight into some sort of "hidden, deeper truths" that help them understand what He really meant to say, even though it totally contradicts the simple, commonsense truths of Scripture.
But if you have to read Scripture with a "Yes, but ..." approach, if God says one thing but you say another, who do you think is wrong? You or God?

I once fell into that trap myself, and @civic can attest to it—until I came across Bob Utley online.

God is not a Calvinist.
Jesus is not a Calvinist
The Holy Spirit is not a Calvinist
Paul the Apostle is not a Calvinist.
The NT does not teach "Calvinism" as truth.
1.) CHRISTians, lead people to JESUS.
2.) Calvinist's lead people to CALVIN. (including other Christians they've deceived.).
Those 2 are not the same.

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel (good news) of Christ, for it is God's power working unto salvation [for deliverance from eternal death] to everyone who believes with a personal trust and a confident surrender and firm reliance, to the Jew first and also to the Greek,
Rom 1:17 For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith. [Hab_2:4]
Rom 1:16 The Gospel’s Power for Salvation
¶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Rom 1:17 For the righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith to faith, just as it is written, “But the one who is righteous by faith will live.” [Or “But the one who is righteous will live by faith” (differing only in word order)]
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the good news, for it is God's power for the salvation of everyone who trusts, of the Jew first and then of the Greek.
Rom 1:17 For in the good news God's Way of man's right standing with Him is uncovered, the Way of faith that leads to greater faith, just as the Scripture says, "The upright man must live by faith."

Sorry, Calvinism is a teaching of man and contrary to the gospel.
John 3:14–17 (NASB95) — 14 “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; 15 so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life. 16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

no but it is the false gospel as per Galatians 1:6-9.
they all stand or fall on each other- prove 1 point wrong and they all come tumbling down like pixie sticks.
hope this helps !!!

yes invented by augustine with its principles and his student calvin took augustines teachings to the next level. then calvins followers developed the acronym tulip which has nothing to do with the biblical gospel. if it did then no one was saved until calvin arrived on the seen.
if you believe that I have a bridge to sell you that spans from San Francisco across the bay to Marin.
hope this helps !!!

TULIP explained:
He comes forth like a flower and withers; he flees also like a shadow and continues not.
Job 14:2.
