Every biblical passage that mentions predestination\/election will be searched in vain for any reference to anyone being predestined to damnation. How, then, does the Calvinist support such a doctrine? By implication only. Those whom God did not elect have been just as surely damned by His eternal decree. Calvin said it is \u201cchildish\u201d to deny this, \u201csince there could be no election without its opposite reprobation.\u201d[Calvinist Lorraine] Boettner declares: \u201cThe doctrine of absolute Predestination of course logically holds that some are foreordained to death as truly as others are foreordained to life. The very terms \u201celect\u201d and \u201celection\u201d imply the terms \u201cnon-elect\u201d and \u201creprobation\u201d\u2026. We believe that from all eternity God has intended to leave some of Adam\u2019s posterity in their sins, and that the decisive factor\u2026is to be found only in God\u2019s will.\u201dWhat a misrepresentation of God! We search the writings of Calvinists in vain to find some hint of regret or sympathy for those hopelessly doomed by God\u2019s eternal decree. How could the God who damns multitudes then profess His love for them\u2014or regret His sovereign decrees? Love and compassion\u2014where shall we find these greatest of all virtues in Calvinism?Calvinists propose various theories to make it seem that God really does love those He predestines to eternal torment. One of the most callous theories comes from Michael Horton in a book with a foreword by J. I. Packer. He argues, \u201cThis view intensifies God\u2019s love, by limiting it only to those who believe. That sure beats the indiscriminate, general benevolence we seem to be hearing much about today.\u201dFor God to love all mankind would be a despicable \u201cindiscriminate, general benevolence\u201d? Limiting God\u2019s love to a select group intensifies God\u2019s love? What madness!John Piper and his pastoral staff published a booklet titled \u201cTULIP: What We Believe about the Five Points of Calvinism.\u201d Like Calvin\u2019s Institutes, it glorifies God\u2019s sovereignty (as we have already seen), but nowhere in its pages is there even a mention of God\u2019s love for sinners. John Calvin is presented as \u201cthe famous theologian and pastor of Geneva,\u201d with not a word about the floggings, imprisonments, tortures, banishments, and burnings at the stake that he encouraged there. Piper also praises Augustine, but without a hint that he was the father of modern Roman Catholicism and held to numerous doctrines that evangelicals find repugnant. Is it honest to withhold vital facts in order to promote Calvinism?Five times in the New Testament, Christ commands us, \u201cThou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself\u201d (Matthew 19:19, etc.). Paul twice, and James once, reiterate this command that one must love one\u2019s neighbor as oneself (Romans 13:9; Galatians 5:14; James 2:8). Christ makes it clear that everyone who is in need is one\u2019s neighbor (Luke 10:29\u201337). Surely none are in greater need than the lost. Yet Calvinism tells us that the God who \u201cis love,\u201d and who \u201cso loved the world\u201d and sent His Son \u201cthat the world through him might be saved\u201d (John 3:17)\u2014even though He could save all\u2014damns billions for His \u201cgood pleasure\u201d and to prove His justice. Aghast at such doctrine, one can only repeat in astonishment, \u201cWhat Love Is This?\u201d Dave Hunt<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
