Love's will and testament..............
Love's will and testament..............
John Calvin taught that God predestinates people to hell before they are born. This is probably one of the worst doctrines ever conceived by the un-regenerated, twisted, perverted mind of man. What is even more shocking is that there are tens of thousands that accept and believe his doctrine. John Calvin also taught that some people were the elect and that they were special to God, while others were fuel for the fire.
In principle, of course, any 'God' that predestines souls to hell by will or decree with they having
no choice in the matter whatsoever, cannot be love, let alone sane or merciful. Love envalues and encourages potential of will, potential of creation, potential of responsibility, potential of eternal progress. Such is love's nature and will, to do and will as Love intends, granting its beloved every opportunity to fulfill its unfoldment and experience of love, which includes all the potentials and possibilities of LIFE via 'relationships'. As we contemplate Life
itself, and even Love.....we ask the heart of Love, what is its Will? We also consider the
infinity of love, that primal power and dynamic empowering all beings to unfold their true potential and fulfill their purpose of being. This is love's will; love's testament.
We've been exploring these themes on other threads, some of us giving the subjects serious thought and commentary, amid other posts that are less serious, petty or condescending, which begs one to consider whether to share their pearls. The pig slop can get thick in some parts, but thank 'God' for the pearl of great price, that does take time, energy, devotion and personal investment to obtain,...for the recognition of the value of that special pearl (wisdom) is first fundamental, and then the divesting of all that is of less value, becomes the price paid to discover it, and then it is a heavenly treasure that no earthly power can corrupt. If Calvinism has any divine love, value or wisdom, any seeker of truth will have to discover that for himself. If it inspires one to be pure in heart, to love, forgive and serve...it may on that level bear some good.
