There is no God in the Bible that fits the God of Calvinism.
There is no scripture anywhere in the Bible that says God has predestinated anyone to heaven or to hell. I have tried to find the God of Calvinism in the Bible, but to no avail. The God in the Bible so loves the world that he gives his only begotten son, John 3:16. The God of Calvinism hates the world and predestinates the world to hell.
God so loves the world that he sends his only begotten son into the world to reconcile the world unto himself, 2 Corinthians 5:19 and in doing so provides salvation for all men, 1 Timothy 2:4. The God of Calvinism is divisive and unjust. Instead of saving the world and providing salvation for everyone, Hebrews 2:9, he only chooses "Some certain persons" to be saved and then damns the rest to hell, even before they were ever born. Can you believe that?
How does one believe and have faith in the God of Calvinism? I can't and I don't believe that anyone can. This is why I believe that Calvinism is a form of atheism. It is not possible to believe and have faith in the mean, cruel, unjust God of Calvinism. How can you believe and have faith in a God that has predestinated your loved ones, maybe even your children to an eternal hell before they were ever born?
So you are going to spend eternity with this mean, cruel, unjust God of Calvinism? How do you know for sure that he might decide that you should go to hell also? I mean, after all, he sent your loved ones there, what's to keep him from sending you there?
In Christianity, Christians are bought, not predestinated. We have been bought with the blood of Christ, 1 Peter 1:19. No one is predestinated, no one needs to be predestinated. Salvation has been provided for all by the doing and the dying of Jesus, Hebrews 2:9. We believe that we can stand before God in the judgment based upon his merit and not our own.
