John 6v37



Any attack (no matter from what quarter and no matter towards what quarter) that is built on ignorance (or in the worst case scenario, malice) is doomed to fail. No matter how you dice it, the author of such is not of God. But that is by the way. Truth marches on regardless and we all do well to try and keep up with it. 

The above attack on Calvinism, propagated on social media by some kind of Methodist minister, wallows in its own failure.  The reality is that #Calvinism teaches that each and every and any soul - we are particularly fond of the Scripture words 'whosoever will' (Revelation 22:17) - that seeks and finds the Lord is never turned away. John 6:37 of course assures us of that where Jesus said "...and him that cometh unto me, I will in no wise cast out." Indeed, the promise of John 6:37 is sourced on the great truth that "All that the Father gives to [Jesus] will come" to Jesus and him that comes, the Lord Jesus will in no wise cast out.

So, mainly because I am busy with a few things today, and not particularly in chatty mood, please forgive me for dismissing the above attack as a No Brainer. One assumes that in order to be ordained to the Methodist ministry that theology is part of the training. One would reasonably expect that it should strive to be accurate.  

Why do I reproduce the above picture here? Because I sincerely believe that such attacks do more harm to the attacker than to the attacked. If nothing else, it gives me an opportunity to refute it. It is out there for all to see anyway and since it is so easily refuted, then it takes no real effort on my part. Setting the record straight is always a pleasure. 

I encourage you to follow through the  CALVINIST INDEX link and see what #Calvinism really teaches as opposed to the failed attacks of its enemies upon it.

  1. What a sad combination that attack shows: willful ignorance and evil.

  2. I agree. Yet, as observed, for reasons stated, it is doomed to wallow in its own failure. Thanks for commenting.
