The Arminian god advocates believe Jesus Christ died and paid for the sins of everyone without exception and God desires to save everyone; yet He couldn’t fulfill His desire or will of saving all and keep some of them from hell because of their Free Will to not believe into Him.
Is God really dependent on what man does? If He was dependent on man, He could not fulfill His promises.
Since He knew all beforehand, then He must have created all to be as it is. Proverbs 16:4 “Jehovah has made all for His purpose yea even the wicked (one) for the day of evil (things)” (KJ3) Romans 9 gives a few reasons why He created evil
The scriptures speak in terms of the atonement of Jesus Christ and His imputed righteousness for His people as being effectual and efficacious.
How could He guarantee someone would be saved if He was reliant on man’s free Will? Was it possible Jesus couldn’t have saved anyone? How could He save anyone if all chose not to believe into Him? Is man the center of the universe?
Natural man wants nothing to do with the God of the Bible that controls and causes all things. He was deluded by becoming spiritually dead by the imputed sin of Adam in the Garden of Eden and is running away and hiding from the True God. Luke 19:14
Now, he creates a god with his fallen imagination that is like him because he thinks he knows since The serpent said “for God knows in the day you eat of it, even your eyes will be opened and you shall be like God, knowing good and evil. “ Genesis 3:5
Jesus promised to save His people and The gates of hades would not prevail over that promise. He promised to save The ones The Father gives to Him who were chosen from before the foundation of the world. These persons were efficaciously bought and paid for and cannot be lost; so how is it that Jesus died effectually and efficaciously for those in Hell?
If He died for everyone even those in Hell, then the cross in and of itself saved no one, right?
Revelation 7:9 proves that All that the Father gave Jesus were effectually redeemed, justified, propitiated, reconciled and saved.
God does not shine into the heart the illumination of the false knowledge of the glory of man in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 The Arminian god is a false god, a weak god who cannot save; who conditioned salvation on something man produces. Isaiah 45:20
The following scriptures should make it clear that God is in control of all things, all persons and causes all things to come to pass. The Arminian god is not the True God and Savior of the world Matthew 1:21, Romans 8:28-30 John 6:37-44, 65 Acts 20:28 Matthew 16:18 John 10 Romans 8:31-39 Romans 3 Romans 4 Romans 8,9,10,11 Ephesians 1,2,3 Proverbs 16:4 1 Corinthians 2:14 John 3:19-20 Proverbs 14:12 2 Thessalonians 2:13 John 6:29
See now that I, I [am] He, and there [is] no other God with Me. I kill, and I keep alive. I wound and I heal, and there [is] no deliverer from My hand” (Deu 32:39).
“Jehovah kills and keeps alive; He brings down and causes to go to Sheol. Jehovah brings down, and He gives riches; He brings low; yea, He lifts up high. He raises the poor from the dust; He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, to cause [them] to sit with nobles; yea, He causes them to inherit a throne of honor; for to Jehovah [are] the pillars of the earth; and He sets the habitable world on them” (1Sa 2:6-8).
Behold, He breaks down, and no one builds; He shuts against a man, and no one opens. Behold, He holds back the waters, and they dry up; and He sends them out, and they overflow the earth. With Him [is] strength and sound wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are His. He causes wise men to go stripped; and He makes judges fools. He loosens the bonds of kings, and He binds their loins with a girdle; making priests walk [away] stripped; and He overthrows the mighty; turning aside the lip of the trusted men; and He takes away the reason of the aged. He pours scorn on nobles, and He loosens the girdle of the mighty; revealing deep things out of darkness; and He brings the shadow of death to light. He gives greatness to the nations, and He destroys them; spreading out the nations, and He leads them out. He takes away the heart of the heads of the people of the land; and He causes them to wander in a waste [in which is] no path. They grope in the dark, and [there] is no light; and He makes them stagger like a drunkard” (Job 12:14-25).
“But He [is] in one [mind], and who can turn Him? Yea, His soul desires, and He does [it]. For He fulfilled my lot, and many like these are with Him”. (Job 23:13-14).
“But our God [is] in Heaven; He has done all that He has pleased” (Psa 115:3).
“For I know that Jehovah [is] great, and our Lord [is] above all gods. Every [thing] which Jehovah [was] pleased to do, He did, in the heavens and in the earth, and in the seas and all deep places. He causes the vapors to rise from the end of the earth; He makes lightnings for the rain; He brings the wind out of His storehouses” (Psa 135:5-7).
“The lot is cast into the lap, but all ordering of it [is] from Jehovah”. (Pro 16:33).
“[As] streams of waters, the king’s heart [is] in the hand of Jehovah; He turns it wherever He desires” (Pro 21:1).
“Have you not known? Have you not heard? Was it not told to you from the beginning? Did you not discern [from] the foundations of the earth? He who sits on the circle of the earth, even those living in it are like grasshoppers; He who stretches the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to live in; who gives potentates into nothing. He makes judges of the earth as nothing. Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they are not sown; yea, their stem [is] not taking root in the earth. And He shall also blow on them, and they shall wither, and the tempest shall lift them up like stubble. To whom then will you compare Me, or [am] I equaled, says the Holy One? Lift up your eyes on high and look: Who has created these? Who brings out their host by number? By greatness of vigor, and might of power, He calls them all by names; not one is lacking” (Isa 40:21-26).
“Behold, the former things have come to pass, and I declare new things before they happen, I cause you to hear”. (Isa 42:9).
I [am] Jehovah, and [there is] none else; there is no God except Me. I will clothe you, though you do not know Me, that they may know from the rising of the sun, and to its going down, that [there is] none besides Me; I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else; forming light, and creating darkness; making peace, and creating evil. I, Jehovah, do all these things” (Isa 45:5-7).
“Remember former things from forever, for I [am] God, and no one else [is] God, even none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from the past those things which were not done, saying, My counsel shall rise; and, I will do all My desire; calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of My counsel from a far off land. Yes, I have spoken; yes, I will cause it to come; I have formed; yes, I will do it” (Isa 46:9-11).
“O house of Israel, can I not do to you as this potter? says Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter’s hand, [so are] you in My hand, O house of Israel”. (Jer 18:6).
Who [is] this speaking, and it happens [when] the Lord does not command it?” (Lam 3:37).
“And all the trees of the field shall know that I, Jehovah, have brought down the high tree [and] have exalted the low tree, [and] have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree flourish. I, Jehovah, have spoken and acted”. (Eze 17:24).
And coming near, the disciples said to Him, Why do You speak to them in parables? And answering, He said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven, but it has not been given to those. For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have overabundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. Because of this, I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. And the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled on them, which says, In hearing you will hear and in no way understand, and seeing you will see yet in no way perceive. For the heart of this people has grown fat, and they heard heavily with the ears, and they have closed their eyes, that they not see with the eyes, or hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I heal them” (Mat 13:10-15).
“For even as the Father raises the dead, and gives life, so also the Son gives life to whomever He wills” (Joh 5:21).
All that the Father gives to Me shall come to Me, and the [one] coming to Me I will in no way cast out” (Joh 6:37).
“And He said, Because of this, I have told you that no one is able to come to Me except it is given to him from My Father” (Joh 6:65).
“And hearing, the nations rejoiced and glorified the Word of the Lord. And as many as were appointed to eternal life believed” (Act 13:48).
“But we know that [to] the [ones] loving God all things work together for good, [to] those being called according to purpose; because whom He foreknew, He also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of His Son, for Him to be [the] First-born among many brothers. But whom He predestinated, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified” (Rom 8:28-30).
for [the children] not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of the [One] calling, it was said to her, The greater shall serve the lesser; even as it has been written, I loved Jacob, and I hated Esau. What then shall we say? Is there not unrighteousness with God? Let it not be! For He said to Moses, I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will pity whomever I will pity. So, then, [it is] not of the [one] willing, nor of the [one] running, but of the [One] showing mercy, of God. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing I raised you up, so that I might display My power in you, and so that My name might be publicized in all the earth. So, then, to whom He desires, He shows mercy. And to whom He desires, He hardens. You will then say to me, Why does He yet find fault? For who has resisted His will? Yes, rather, O man, who are you answering against God? Shall the thing formed say to the [One] forming [it], Why did You make me like this? Or does not the potter have authority over the clay, out of the one lump to make one vessel to honor, and one to dishonor? But if God, desiring to demonstrate His wrath, and to make His power known, endured in much long-suffering vessels of wrath having been fitted out for destruction, and that He make known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy which He before prepared for glory, whom He also called, not only us, of Jews, but also out of nations” (Rom 9:11-24).
Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies with Christ, even as He elected us in Him before [the] foundation of [the] world, for us to be holy and without blemish before Him in love, predestinating us to adoption through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to [the] praise of [the] glory of His grace in which He favored us in the [One] having been loved” (Eph 1:3-6).
“in whom we also have been chosen to an inheritance, being predestinated according to [the] purpose of the [One] working all things according to the counsel of His [own] will” (Eph 1:11).
“But we ought to thank God always concerning you, brothers, beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to salvation in sanctification of [the] Spirit and belief of [the] truth, to which He called you through our gospel, to obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2Th 2:13-14).
“the [One] having saved us and having called [us] with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to [His] own purpose and grace given to us in Christ Jesus before eternal times” (2Ti 1:9).
“Then to you who believe [belongs] the preciousness. But to disobeying ones, [He is the] Stone which those building rejected; this One became [the] Head of the Corner, and a Stone-of-stumbling, and a Rock-of-offense to the [ones] stumbling, being disobedient to the Word, to which they were also appointed” (1Pe 2:7-8).
But we are all as the unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses are as a menstruation cloth. And we all fade as a leaf, and like the wind our iniquities take us away. And [there is] not one who calls on Your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of You. For You have hidden Your face from us, and have melted us away into the hand of our iniquities”. (Isa 64:6-7).
“No one is able to come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day”. (Joh 6:44).
“What then? Do we excel? Not at all! For we have charged both Jews and Greeks before, all [with] being under sin; according as it has been written, [There is] not a righteous one, not even one! [There is] not [one] understanding; [there is] not [one] seeking God. All turned away, [they] became worthless together, not [one is] doing goodness, not so much as one!” (Rom 3:9-12).
“For the ones that are according to flesh mind the things of the flesh. And the ones according to Spirit [mind] the things of the Spirit. For the mind of the flesh [is] death, but the mind of the Spirit [is] life and peace; because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity towards God; for it is not being subjected to the Law of God, for neither can it [be]. And those being in the flesh are not able to please God” (Rom 8:5-8).
But a natural man does not receive the things of [the] Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to know [them], because they are spiritually discerned” (1Co 2:14).
“All that the Father gives to Me shall come to Me, and the [one] coming to Me I will in no way cast out” (Joh 6:37).
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give eternal life to them, and they shall not perish to the age, never! And not anyone shall pluck them out of My hand. My Father who has given [them] to Me is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of My Father’s hand” (Joh 10:27-29).
But we know that [to] the [ones] loving God all things work together for good, [to] those being called according to purpose; because whom He foreknew, He also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of His Son, for Him to be [the] First-born among many brothers. But whom He predestinated, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified” (Rom 8:28-30).
“But He confirming us and anointing us with you in Christ is God, even He having sealed us, and having given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts” (2Co 1:21-22).
in whom also you, hearing the Word of Truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also believing you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is an earnest of our inheritance, to [the] redemption of the purchased possession, to [the] praise of His glory” (Eph 1:13-14).
“being persuaded of this very thing, that the [One] having begun a good work in you will finish [it] until [the] day of Jesus Christ” (Phi 1:6).
