Is Calvinism Biblical (part two) #24

CALVINISM	THE BIBLE	COMMENTARY
God is Pleased to Damn Others Scripture clearly proves... that God by his eternal and immutable counsel determined once for all those whom it was His pleasure one day to admit to salvation, and those whom, on the other- hand, it was His pleasure to doom to destruction". John Calvin,Institutes of Christian Religion III:xxi,7 "God not only foresaw the fall of the first man, and in him the fall of his posterity, but also at God's own pleasure arranged it"  John Calvin. Institutes of Christian Religion, III: xxiii, 7 Those, therefore, whom God passes by He reprobates (one who is predestined to damnation) and that for no other cause but because He is pleased to excuse them from the inheritance that he predestines to His children...". John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion  III:xxiii,1 "With Augustine I say: the Lord has created those whom he unquestionably foreknew would go to destruction. This has happened because he has willed it.  John Calvin Institutes of Christian Religion III:xxiii. 5 "Now since the arrangement of all things is in the Hand of God...He arranges...that individuals are born, who are doomed from the womb to certain death, and are to glorify Him by their destruction..." John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, III:xxiii,6	God  Came to Save the World "For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!"  Ezekiel 18:32 "As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their evil ways and live!.          Ezekiel 33:11a "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:16-17 "He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John 2:2 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16 "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9	Damnation  vs Salvation  Biblically there is no question that God has the right to save whom He will, but we are repeatedly told throughout the Bible that God is love and that He is merciful to all, and it is His desire that none should perish, but come to repentance. Calvinism teaches just the opposite and teaches that God finds pleasure in the destruction of man. This is a false teaching and misrepresents the depth of God's love and mercy. Calvinism is guilty of distorting and libeling the loving character of God. The god of Calvinism is an arbitrary autocrat who arranged the fall of human beings and then sends some of them to eternal punishment for being and doing precisely what He predestined them to be and do. ..beings whose sole purpose for existence  is as Calvin put it "to glorify God by their destruction".  The good news is that the god of Calvinism does not exist. The bad news, or sad news, is that so many people (Calvinists) believe in and worship this god.
