Tensions in Calvin’s Idea of Predestination

[e v e]

i would never advocate a thing to any soul outside of that a soul meet Christ and leave the world behind, take up their cross. The rest would be between that soul and Christ, just as it has been since this evil earth/timeline (=death) began after the fall.

Obviously it's a message no one likes. more than 40% of the prophets and then apostles were murdered to accomplish 'approved' modern christianity version (=sorcery kjv).

i don't find that concept. Where does God say the phrase 'works salvation'?

It's a term no prophets in the OT said. And Never said by Him.

You have to find it

i looked. not there as a term or theme.

Christ never mentions that, not in OT, not to moses, not to any prophet, not to the apostles.

It's true we are helpless and nothing here...
though we can repent and die to this foreign land
(as opposed to decorating our jail cell which is this earth!)

of which He said He was not from here.
