Doctrine of Unconditional Election

[Bobby Walker]

Unconditional Election...Ba humbug

What would you say if you discovered that people were saying of you and your newly-wedded spouse, I hear they are planning on having six children, five of whom they plan to cruelly torture all their lives, and one of whom they plan to treat kindly? Would you not be greatly offended that anyone would even entertain such an awful rumor? Yet that is what you are saying about God! You nullify His great attributes of love and justice with your doctrine!

How is it possible to reconcile unconditional election/damnation with the scores of scriptures that clearly state that God desires for all to be saved? Here is just a small sampling:

Anyone who believes these scriptures at face value must abandon the idea of unconditional election/damnation.

Right on...Ba Humbug. I always liked a "Christmas Carol ". I glad that God is not a Scrooge with His gift of salvation.

The Lord does not delay the promise, as some esteem slowness, but is patient toward you, not willing for any to perish, but all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

That kicks the false doctrine of election to the curb.

Yet we can rest assured, if God isn't willing that something happens, then it simply will not happen ! How does that oppose election ? Many shall perish duh

perish duh... They didn't choose to believe in Jesus.

I'm resting assured that God gave me a freewill to choose Jesus or reject Him. The Bible is clear that we not only have the ability to choose, we also have the responsibility to choose wisely.

Sinners are commanded over and over to “repent” and “believe” (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 3:19; 1 John 3:23). Every call to repent is a call to choose. The command to believe assumes that the hearer can choose to obey the command.

Jesus identified the problem of some unbelievers when He told them, “You refuse to come to me to have life” (John 5:40). Clearly, they could have come if they wanted to; their problem was they chose not to. “A man reaps what he sows” (Galatians 6:7), and those who are outside of salvation are “without excuse” (Romans 1:20-21).
Got?

So what Jesus did you supposedly choose ? Who is He according to scripture ? What has He done, and for whom did He do it for ?
