What You Think About Election Will Determine What You Think About God...
The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the problems with the Calvinistic Doctrine and the Arminian Doctrine and offer an
alternative, the Calminian Doctrine.
___________________________________________
Arminian Doctrine:
Election is based on God’s foreknowledge of man’s continual faith in Christ.
Romans 8:29
For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren;
Ephesians 1:4
just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love
2 Peter 1:10
Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble; God saw before the foundations of the world that by His grace we would respond by faith to the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal savior and He chose us unto Eternal Life (election}.
Arminians believe there is common Grace for all people. Christ died for all.
Arminians believe the Holy Spirit works in the unbeliever’s life.
Romans 1:19
because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
John 16:8
“And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment;
___________________________________________
Arminians doctrine necessitates that when a person believes in Christ, He is put in a kind of holding tank, he will eventually be saved if his life on this earth meets God’s standard. If it does not, he is taken out of the holding tank and is back where he started, without Christ.
Many Arminians believe this process may happen a number of times within a person’s life. In the tank out of the tank, in-out, only death will have the final say. This misapplication of the Scriptures obviously violates many biblical texts.
Arminian doctrine has the problem of the individual’s salvation being established by his continual ability to keep the faith. Knowing whether he is in the faith or not is always tied to what he is doing or not doing. Therefore, if he performs correctly, he will be saved and if he does not he will be lost.
When an Arminian gets saved, all he gets is the promise that if he performs correctly one day he will be eternally saved.
Arminian doctrine is in opposition to Romans 8:30 where the number justified is the same number as glorified.
Romans 8:30
and whom He predestined, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
The Arminian becomes his own savior,
since Christ has done everything else.
It is a doctrine of works, the Arminians works on keeping the faith by his accomplishments.
Many of the verses Arminians use to support their Doctrine can easily be explained by just looking at the verse in context.
Arminians need to understand that the Bible speaks very clearly of religious people who think they are saved, when in reality they are not. There are many verses that refer to these people. That’s why context is so very important. Many of the verses Arminians use to support their view will annul with this understanding.
It is evident these false believers attempt to weave themselves in with the true believers.
The writers of the New Testament speak to the churches with this understanding, putting the reader in the position of always taking this principle into consideration when interpreting the Bible.
2 Corinthians 11:13-14
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14) And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
2 Corinthians 13:5
Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you —
unless indeed you fail the test?
1 John 2:19
They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, in order that it might be shown that they all are not of us.
Arminian doctrine attacks the work of Christ, claiming it is not totally effectual in saving the lost soul for all eternity from the time he is born again without personal merit continually being required. Arminian Election is determined by only the end result of a person’s life. A person has to keep the faith right up to physical death in order to be eternally saved.
___________________________________________
Calvinistic Doctrine:
can be divided into two groups.
Group #1. God elects some to be saved and reprobate all others.
Which means God will not elect them. Christ died only for the elect.
Matthew 1:21
“And she will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins.”
Galatians 3:13
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”
Calvinists believe salvation is totally of God. Even the believing that man does is a work of God.
Some Calvinists within this group go as far as believing and teaching others regeneration occurs without the knowledge of the one it is
occurring in.
Regeneration is when one becomes indwelt with Holy Spirit...Saved. In this view it’s only after regeneration { Being Born Again “Saver”) that one places their faith in Christ as their savior, which could be minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months after regeneration occurs.
________________________________________
Group #2. God elects those who do believe and leaves in just condemnation those who do not believe. Christ died for all people. It
differs little in respect to Group #1 in as much as the only ones that become God’s Elect are those God has chosen to work within.
1 Timothy 4:10
For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.
Hebrews 2:9
But we do see Him who has been made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.
Salvation is totally of God and believing is a personal positive response to the work of Christ. Salvation is a result of the Holy Spirit working in a special way in a person’s life that causes him to want to believe. It’s like taking seven kids to a candy and ice cream store with a signs in the widow “free candy and ice cream today”. All seven kids go into the store and all seven kids thirty minutes later come out of the store. The question is of the seven that went in how many did not take any free ice cream or candy? Obviously none. That is Group #2 concept of salvation God makes salvation so irresistible that no one can say no. One of the problems with this view is God only makes salvation irresistible for a very few people, all the time advertising He wants all people to be saved.
1 Timothy 2:4
”who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
Calvinism Group #2
All people the Holy Spirit chooses to work in will believe and be saved. All people the Holy Spirit chooses not to work in will go to Hell.
Ephesians 1:11
also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will,
___________________________________________
Calvinistic doctrine advocates:
God decrees all things to happen and within the sphere of events He without any good reason as far as man is concerned personally picks a few souls. The rest are tortured in hell for all eternity.
This view calls into question the love and character of God, the harmony of the scriptures, and the purpose and work of Christ. In the
Calvinistic Doctrine it appears that God places little value on the
human race, which is inconsistent with the Scriptures.
___________________________________________
Revelation 20:12 “and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.
To judge a person according to his deeds, implies the person is responsible for his deeds.
To hold someone responsible for their deeds means the person had the ability to perform in some other manner.
The Calvinistic Doctrines do not allow for that to happen and they make the Great White Throne Judgment ridiculous.
It’s like holding someone responsible for their heart beating and sending them to eternal hell because of it, all the time knowing there is nothing they can do about it. Commanding them to change,
knowing they can’t.
The verses Calvinists use, they assume can only be understood one way, their way.
___________________________________________
In the case of salvation a number of very complex things occur.
NOTE: “Depravity”
Does not have to mean as Calvinist teach, man cannot respond to God, unless God makes man respond to Him.
An atheist knows what a lie is and can choose not to lie, or steel or murder. An atheist can choose to help a needy person or walk on by. An atheist has within his own ability the freedom to “will” to do many wonderful things that are in accord with Gods righteous holy attributes. It is inconceivable to think an atheist has the ability to exercise his “free will” in doing good in every area of life except repenting and trusting in Jesus Christ as his personal savior.
The Calvinist needs to understand:
“Foreknowledge” does not have to mean God foreknew without
reasons.
“Election” does not have to occur before “foreknowledge.”
Different things can occur simultaneously and need not be in
opposition to one another since time is not required with God.
___________________________________________
Six points to consider:
Point #1
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 “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, that they might not see the light of the glory
of Christ, who is the image of God.”
JESUS POWER CHANGES THINGS!
John 12:46
“I have come as light into the world, that everyone who believes in Me may not remain in darkness.
Luke 4:18
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovery of sight to the blind, To set free those who are downtrodden,
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to every one who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Acts 26:16-18
‘But arise, and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister and a witness not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you; 17) delivering you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, 18) to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, in order that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me. ‘
1 Corinthians 9:22
To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some.
Romans 10:13-14
for “whoever will call upon the name of the lord will se saved.” 14) How then shall they call upon Him whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
Yes, the Preacher with the Word of God in hand can cut through the satanic blindness, so the ones who are blind and perishing, can see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Romans 10:17
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:11
Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
1 Corinthians 1:21
For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
___________________________________________
The question is; “When people see the light can they reject it”?
We know that after a person is born-again he can grieve and quench the Holy Spirit. If after why not before?
After Salvation:
Ephesians 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
1 Thessalonians 5:19
Do not quench the Spirit;
Before Salvation:
John 1:11-12
He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. 12) But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
Acts 7:51
“You men who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did.
Calvinism advocates that man cannot resist God’s sovereign will. They ignore the fact that God’s sovereign will includes honoring mans free choice.
_______________________________________
Point #2
Jesus says, speaking of the Holy Spirit;
John 16:8
”And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin, and
righteousness, and judgment;
What would be the point of convicting the world of sin if God had already rejected them?
(As Calvinism advocates)
1 Timothy 2:4
”who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
If God knew most men could not be saved because God had not picked them, why would God desire all men to be saved?
2 Peter 3:9
”not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.”
The Lord God would have known He had only picked a very small number of people to be saved. Does it seem reasonable that God would wish against His own elected decree?
(As Calvinism would require.}
___________________________________________
Point #3
Ezekiel 3:18
”When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.”
Ezekiel 3:18 shows the same man could either die in his iniquity or live.
Paul refers to this text:
Acts 18:6 “Your blood be upon your own heads!”
Acts 20:26 “I am innocent of the blood of all men.”
{Calvinistic Doctrine does not allow for this option.}
__________________________________________
Point #4
John 8:24
”I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins.”
We have a case here of Christ speaking to the unsaved informing them they have the option to believe or die in their sins.
{Calvinistic Doctrine does not allow for this option.}
___________________________________________
Point #5
John 3:18
“He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
How can a person be told to believe and if he does not believe, he has been judged for his not believing when there is no legitimate way he could have believed?
{The Calvinistic Doctrines would require this proposition.}
_________________________________________
Point #6
Ephesians 2:6-7
and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in heavenly places, in Christ Jesus, 7) in order that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His Grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
Could it be in the ages to come someone might ask God the question:
“If you really wanted to show the surpassing riches of your grace and kindness, why didn’t you save (Elect) many more people, rather than
so very few?
It would seem the more you saved the greater your grace and kindness would appear.” (According to Calvinistic Doctrines.)
___________________________________________
Point #7
There are many verses in the Bible that teach God chose us.
But without reasons? …Not likely.
Take a look at God’s creation from up out and beyond or into the smallest of things like the atom. We see design, order and reason.
The butterfly wing, snowflake, rainbow, all point to intelligent reason
behind them. Are we to believe the only place God lacks reason is in his electing of individuals unto salvation, the choosing of the Saints? According to Calvinism God’s election of individuals unto salvation has absolutely nothing to do with the individuals.
The truth is we through our own free will “Faith” choose to stand in the elevator (Jesus} but only through God’s Grace and Power does it rise.
We can stand in Christ through Faith but we can’t make anything move up, regardless whether we are Arminian, Calvinistic or even
Calminian. Only God can do that.
So it depends on God’s mercy and faithfulness to his promises, not mans will nor works that man is transformed and (saved).
So God gets all the Praise, Honor and Glory. Thank you, Jesus.
God chose us with good reason because He knew where we would stand, in Christ by Faith (choosing to depend on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross to save us from sin and Hell).
God leaves all to their depraved state that choose to reject Jesus Christ. The facts are that even though there are few that respond, they come out within the corridors of time. The elect-saved come from all walks of life, from all different nations and cultures. All having one thing in common, after hearing the Good News, they freely believe the
testimony of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
God desires to save all in spite of the fact that none deserve it, yet God only saves the people that freely respond to the sacrifice of His Son. That for sure shows his Love, Grace, Kindness and Wisdom.
He has provided a way of escape for mankind, from their nature of
being children of wrath.
Free will for mankind was part of the original creation in accordance with being created in the image of God. God has a will and we have a will.
Genesis 1:27 And God created man in His own image,
Ephesians 1:11 also we have obtained an inheritance, having been
predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the
counsel of His will,
___________________________________________
Calminian Doctrine:
Election is based on God’s foreknowledge of man’s faith in Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:13 ...
”because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth”
We know He knows...
We know He reasons...
We know He decides.
There is common Grace for all people. Christ died for all people.
The Holy Spirit works in the unbelievers life.
Romans 1:19
because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
John 16:8
“And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment;
___________________________________________
Salvation is totally of God and believing is a personal positive response to the work of Christ, which is the requirement of God for Salvation.
John 5:24
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
Romans 10:9-10
that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; 10) for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
___________________________________________
God has given man the opportunity to respond to the work of Christ.
Man may do so either positively or negatively.
When man responds positively, He becomes eternally saved, indwelt with the Holy Spirit, sealed till the day of redemption in Christ by the promise of the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 1:13
In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation — having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,
John 16:27
for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.
1 John 5:13
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life.
Calminian doctrine believes salvation is of God. They believe God requires a positive response to the work of Christ.
Calminian doctrine believes man’s ability to choose is neither good nor bad by nature.
Man is depraved by nature.
His choices are determined by the data he comes in contact with.
When he hears the Good News he has new data.
He can either respond positively or negatively to the new data.
Calminians believe that from the beginning of the Bible to the end, Man is admonished by God to use his ability to freely choose.
Calminians do not believe, mans choice to respond to God is a “work”.
Romans 4:5 “But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.
This is a one time act for all eternity. It starts with your faith in Jesus and it perpetually continues on for eternity by Jesus’ faithfulness.
2 Timothy 2:13
If we are faithless, He remains faithful; for He cannot deny Himself.
_________________________________________
Calminian Doctrine:
Believes salvation is available for all people and a person becomes a regenerated (saved) Christian as a result of trusting in Jesus Christ.
Acts 17:30
God is now declaring to men that all everywhere should repent.
ACTS 10:34-35
And opening his mouth, Peter said: “I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality. 35) but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right, is welcome to Him.”
Hebrews 2:9
by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.
1 Timothy 4:10
“For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.”
Titus 2:11
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men.
__________________________________________
Adam’s Sin
As a result of Adam’s choice to turn away from God we all are born separated from God and without hope in the world.
THANKS BE TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.... NOW
We can turn towards God though Christ Jesus and be saved. Just as God allowed Adam to freely turn away from Him without interfering.
Today God allows mankind to freely turn towards Him through the Lord Jesus Christ. He wants people to choose to Love Him because they want to and not because they have to.
John 1:12-13 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13) who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Romans 9:16
So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.
Salvation is totally of God. God is the one that places the Holy Spirit in a persons life. God is the one that forgives sins. God is the one that gives new life. God is the one that takes a person to heaven. A person can wish, will, and hope continually but if that person has not correctly directed his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ nothing eternally will change for him.
Man can’t through his birth, his works, nor his will, change his nature, nor can he place himself in heaven. But don’t think for a minute that God can’t place the responsibility upon man to believe in Christ before He takes the supernatural action that causes a person to be born again, regenerated, (saved).
The Bible is full of such examples:
Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,
When I go out to preach the Gospel I desire that all would respond and believe in Christ. If I had the ability to change their minds, hearts and lives supernaturally, I would. Does that make me more virtuous than God, since according to Calvinistic Doctrine God could have but did not? Or is it that I just think more of the human race than God does?
Or could there be another option, something else to factor into the question? Like man's free will to believe in Christ, as being most important to God. For example; it was free will that caused Satan to rebel against God in the first place. We certainly would not suggest God’s sovereignty caused Satan to sin, would we? How many options are there? Only two,: Satan willed to Sin or God’s sovereignty willed Satan to Sin. If God willed Satan to sin then Satan should not be held responsible. With man it was either his own free will that caused him to eat of the fruit or it was God’s sovereignty that caused Adam to eat. How you answer these questions will determine what kind of a God you have put your faith in. The fall of Satan and Man were dreadful. Who is to blame?
NORMAN GEISLER...CHOSEN BUT FREE page 45
Let’s again illustrate the harmony of predetermination and free choice. Suppose you cannot watch your favorite sports event live on TV. So you videotape it. When you watch it later, the entire game and every play in it are absolutely determined and can never be changed. No matter how many times you rerun it, the final score, as well as every aspect of every play, will always be the same. Yet when the game happened, every event was freely chosen. No one was forced to play. Therefore, the same event was both determined and free at the same time.
Someone may object and say this is so only because the event has already occurred, and that before the game occurred it was not predetermined. In response we need only point out that since God is all knowing (omniscient), and time is not a factor within His existence, then from the stand point of His foreknowledge the game was
predetermined.
Romans 8:29-30 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren; 30) and whom He predestined, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
The question is what did God foreknow?
Did God know everything, the beginning from the end?
Did God’s knowledge affect His decrees?
Was time a consideration?
Could more than one thing occur without time being involved?
If that is true could the Bible have verses that appear to be in conflict, yet are not?
When asking the question, What happened first?
You attempt to make God something other than eternal and degrade His attributes.
Romans 11:33-34
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! 34) For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor?
_________________________________________________________
WHO IS GOD, WHAT IS HE LIKE?
Arminian Doctrine:
Their God is one who is looking for them to perform. If they continue to perform correctly they are ok. If they fall away and don’t keep the faith, they are lost. It’s all up to them, their merit, their good works and their continual work of faith. They live with no assurance of salvation other than their own faith in their own ability to perform correctly.
A person will never know for sure He’s going to Heaven until He physically dies and finds out if He performed correctly.
___________________________________________
Calvinistic Doctrine:
Their God is a little hard to figure out:
For example:
God appears to Care for mankind but not enough to save them.
God appears to Love people but only picks a few.
God appears to be Merciful but only to a select few.
God appears to be Kind but not kind enough to save but only a few.
God appears to have Grace but only for a few.
God appears to dislike Hell but will command most to go there.
God calls the shots. Nothing can be done short of God’s doing and He will do nothing for the masses of people, except send them to Hell.
Calvinistic Doctrine reveals their internal error by not wanting to
credit God’s sovereignty with causing the original sin of Lucifer or Adam, nor credit Lucifer or Adam with causing original sin by an act of their own free will. Either answer reveals their error.
All the time advocating God is sovereign in all things.
1. Did God cause sin?
2. Or did man cause sin, his own “free will”, rebelling against God?
___________________________________________
Calminian Doctrine:
God created mankind to have a love relationship with Him.
God’s creation chose to rebel against God’s desires for them.
Separation occurred as a result.
God has been trying to bring mankind back to that love relationship but won’t force people against their own free will to love him. They made the choice to reject God’s desires for their lives. God now
requires them to choose to accept His desires for their lives, to restore their relationship with Him, just the reverse of what Adam did.
The Lord Jesus Christ made it all possible. When they respond just one time, their response puts them in an even better place with God than before the fall, Eternally Saved.
Just as Adam’s one choice changed the course of the world, man’s one choice can change the course of his eternal destiny forever.
God’s eternal eye saw mans independent faith in Christ, in His sight and plan.
1 Peter 1:2
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
2 Thessalonians 2:13
But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.
1 Peter 1:3-9
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4) to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5) who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6) In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, 7) that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 8) and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9) obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
Acts 26:16-18
But arise, and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister and a witness not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you; 17) delivering you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, 18) to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, in order that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.
The Calminian Doctrine is most consistent with the scriptures.
It offer a God that cares for all.
A God that die for all.
A God that provides a way of escape for all.
A God that is no respecter of persons.
A God that values people’s willingness
to love and trust Him.
A God that eternally protects all his children.
