How in the world can anyone have faith in a God that predestinates people to hell before they are born? I believe that it is impossible for anyone to love and have faith in a God such as this. This is why on another thread I have referred to the Calvinist God as the Nazi God. I believe that this describes the God of Calvinism.
WARNING: You might be better off to believe in no God at all than to blasphemy God and his Son Jesus Christ with this false doctrine of predestinating people to hell before they are born.
The scripture says, "We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ" Romans 14:10. Paul said that we should have confidence in the judgment, 1 John 2:28. How could anyone possibly have confidence in the judgment while standing before an unjust, unmerciful, unrighteous God that delights in sending people to hell before they are born?
The God of Calvinism frightens me. If the Calvinist are right we are in serious trouble. If you are not one of the elect you are hell bound. It does not matter what you believe or what you do, you are lost. The Calvinist seem to know who and who not are the elect. It appears to me that if you profess that you are one of the elect, you are one and if you profess that you don't believe in Calvinism you are not one. Faith in God and Jesus Christ has no bearing on whether or not you are one of the elect.
And then there is the problem of Jesus being the savior of the world. If you believe that Jesus is the savior of the world then you are not one of the elect. How can Jesus be the savior of the whole world if he only died for the elect? The Bible teaches that Jesus died for the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2 also 1 John 4:14. If Jesus did not atone for the sins of the whole world then Jesus is not Lord, if Jesus is not Lord then he should be removed from his position at the right hand of God where he is, "The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords" Revelation 19:16.
It appears to me that the devil himself created this doctrine of Calvinism. The main purpose of Calvinism is to cause you to lose faith in God and his Son Jesus Christ. It most certainly does not create faith in God or in Jesus Christ.
