Sad News: Calvinist Ministers Can't Preach the Gospel that Christ Preached

[Samie]

In the gospel that Christ preached, He asked people to repent. Mark 1:14, 15.

But Calvinist ministers can't see the need of asking people to repent:

1. What's the use of asking the elect to repent when they believe the elect are sure to repent since they are not able to NOT repent?

2. What's the use of asking the non-elect to repent when they believe the non-elect are doomed anyway and hence can't and won't repent?

One must know how to "Rightly Divide" the written word of God.

Are you under the assumption that all people everywhere will repent at some time in their life?

I don't recall Jesus ASKING people to repent, nor any other person in the scriptures. Look's more like a command that is proclaimed with authority and boldness.

Do you?

Why open and read a letter not for you?

Are you under the assumption that all people everywhere will repent at some time in their life?

No. Or no one goes to the lake of fire.

Yes, God commands all people to repent.

But Calvinist ministers can't command the elect to repent. What's the use commanding the elect to repent who they believe are NOT able to not repent and therefore already repenting?

The fact that you would even say what you just said shows how little you all comprehend of sovereign election. Calvinism does not reject repentance, it just rejects your vain idea of repentance.

Why would you bother posting lots of scripture verses if people are already reading what you posted before you posted it?

How can people read what's not posted yet?

Are you?

Correction: you were momentarily thinking. Maybe you're not able to not understand, and therefore already understanding it?

Why would Calvinist ministers bother asking the elect to repent when they believe the elect are not able to not repent and therefore already repenting? Can you please answer this directly?

 

[fishrovmen]

The problem lies in your logic, not in Calvinism.

Man repents as God's providence ordains. When a person submits to his minister and repents, he is performing God's sovereign will.

You all don't understand how it works, and never will because it's simply the faculty of your mind to resist it. God uses those as yourself to simply confound the foolish so that proper doctrine stays new.
