The Character of God
As we have seen in The Rise of Gnosticism the genesis or roots of TULIP, Unconditional Predestination, and Calvinism can be found in the Gnostic teachings as revealed in Irenaeus's writings Against Heresies. These Doctrines twist the scriptures to the point that they destroy the truth, as well as the very nature and character of the Lord God Almighty and turning him into a monstrosity.
But we can rejoice for the Lord God Almighty inspired men to write the scriptures, and in His infinite wisdom and foreknowledge He knew that these things would take place and He reveals this to us in his prophetic word, so that we would trust in Him and prepare our hearts, knowing these attacks would come in advance.
I Timothy 4:1-2
But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,
These doctrines destroy true faith and teach that man cannot have faith, unless God forces it on him. They teach that God really only desires some to be saved and others are predetermined to eternal damnation before they were even born.
John Calvin [a.d. 1509-1564]
CHAPTER 21. OF THE ETERNAL ELECTION, BY WHICH GOD HAS PREDESTINATED SOME TO SALVATION, AND OTHERS TO DESTRUCTION.
http://www.ccel.org/ccel/calvin/institutes.v.xxii.html
“By predestination we mean the eternal decree of God, by which He determined with Himself whatever He wished to happen with regard to every man. All are not created on equal terms, but some are preordained to eternal life, others to eternal damnation; and, accordingly, as each has been created for one or other of these ends, we say that he has been predestined to life or to death.”
We can find this same exact doctrine of Predetermination in modern Gnosticism. Learn More
We can also find these same doctrines brought forth by Muhammad and Islam 900 years before Calvin wrote the Institutes of the Christian Religion. The Spirit that brought forth the teachings of Islam is the Spirit of Antichrist. Learn More
ARTICLES OF BELIEF OF NAJM AD-DIN ABU HAFS AN-NASAFI
http://www.sacred-texts.com/isl/dmt/dmt22.htm
“And God Most High is the Creator of all actions of His creatures, whether of unbelief or belief, of obedience or of rebellion; all of them are by the will of God and His sentence and His conclusion and His decreeing.”
“And God leadeth astray whom He wills and guideth aright whom He wills”
As we see in Love and Betrothal that Jesus betroths the believers “the Church” in marriage. With the Doctrines of Unconditional Predestination this is not a marriage proposal that is offered and accepted, but rather one that is an offer that can not be resisted by his Bride.
Men and women throughout history can love and trust in each other and become one through marriage, but the God of Unconditional Predestination has to force his Bride to marry him? That is not true love.
Irresistible Grace
http://carm.org/dictionary-irresistible-grace
Irresistible Grace is a Reformed teaching that states that when God calls his elect into salvation, they cannot resist. God offers to all people the gospel message. This is called the external call. But to the elect, God extends an internal call and it cannot be resisted.
So God offers to all people the gospel message or external call, but this call really doesn't accomplish anything. This destroys the scriptures and turns the call to repentance and faith by Jesus and the Prophets nothing less than a charade and a deceiving Gospel that has no benefit at all to the "Non Elect" whatsoever.
This makes the God of Unconditional Election nothing less than a trickster or a deceiver at worst. This is not the Gospel but is rather an evil counterfeit.
Once again we can find these same teachings in Islam and the Quran.
The Quran of Islam
http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/QURAN/
Surah 16:18
"He is the irresistible, (watching) from above over His worshippers; and He is the Wise, acquainted with all things."
Surah 9:51
Say: "Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us: He is our protector": and on Allah let the Believers put their trust.
Who is that leads men astray? Is it the work of God, sinful Man, or the deception of Satan?
James makes it clear that it is not God, but rather man is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.
James 1:13-16
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.
Who is the one that has blinded the minds of the unbelieving? The answer is Satan the god of this world.
II Corinthians 4:3-4
3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
The truth is with the Doctrines of Unconditional Predestination there is no need for Satan at all. If all things are already established and God has already determined who would go to hell, Satan just needs to kick back and watch Gods plan come to fruition.
This turns many of the Parables of Jesus into inaccurate analogies and total falsehoods of the real truth.
The Parable of the Sower - Should only be two seeds
The Wheat and the Tares - God planted both the wheat and tares
Jesus clearly did not understand the doctrine of Unconditional Predestination and Calvinism.
