I am ex athiest. I used to mock christians and say it was all just a fairy tale to help people die in peace. Until i overdosed and stood before Jesus. His face is as bright as the sun. I couldnt see any details of his face but i could see his arms were held out like to hug me and they were a dark tan color, not white or black. Which makes sence remembering he was born in the middle east desert!! When he held out his arms the light got brighter and i felt so much love and peace and raw power that i cant even find the right words to describe them. Jesus is God in the flesh. God is a trinity. All power the father has Jesus also has. He has existed with the father since before the earths creation.

✝️ THE TRINITY DOCTRINE ERROR. ✝️ The Trinity Doctrine (as defined in the Nicean and Athanasius creeds 4th Century) states that God is 3 separate persons. 3 persons = 3 separate beings = 3 God's = Tritheism, and this is NOT biblical. The bible is strictly Monotheistic (Deuteronomy 6:4) and states that God is One Spiritual person and not three persons. The Biblical Trinity is ONE TRANSCENDENT DIVINE SPIRITUAL PERSON (GOD) manifest in 3 different "states of being" as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit but all are still ONE SPIRITUAL person and not 3 as stated in the Athanasius Trinity Doctrine. ✝️ DEFINITIONS: BEING = defined as anything that exists or lives. PERSON = defined as any being that has its own center of consciousness and will, its own intelligence and personality (eg, human person "being" or spiritual person "being"). Therefore, a person is by default ALSO a being. So 3 PERSONS = 3 BEINGS = 3 GODS = Tritheism. This is not an accurate description of the "Biblical Trinity" which is strictly Monotheistic.I

There is no such thing as Biblical Trinity. The God of Israel is One Person just like the first man He created in His own image and likeness. Trinity means three in unity. Three what in unity? Three Gods, period. It doesn't matter how you slice it. The Scriptures *do not* teach plotheism nor mysticism! When Jesus said: That they may *know* YOU, *the* ONLY *true* God... (John 17:3). *Questions:* 1) Could there be another true God or God besides the Father? 2) What does only mean? 3) How many persons is YOU?

@JudeOne3Four Yes God is One Spiritual person. When I say "Biblical Trinity" I am saying there seems to be a "pattern of 3" manifestations in both the old and new testaments. However I do not agree with the Biblical Doctrine that says God is 3 persons. GOD IS ONE Spiritual Person = strict monotheism. However God does manifest in 3 "states of being," as the Father, Son and Holy spirit but still remaining ONE DIVINE PERSON, not 3 persons

And Abraham prayed: “O my Sustainer! Bestow upon me the gift of [a son who shall be] one of the righteous!” - whereupon We gave him the glad tiding of a boy-child gentle (like himself) And (one day,) when [the child] had become old enough to share in his [father’s] endeavors, the latter said: “O my dear son! I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice thee: consider, then, what would be thy view!” [Ishmael] answered: “O my father! Do as thou art bidden: thou wilt find me, if God so wills, among those who are patient in adversity. But as soon as the two had surrendered themselves to [what they thought to be the will of God], and [Abraham] had laid him down on his face. We called out to him: “O Abraham, thou hast already fulfilled [the purpose of] that dream- vision!” Thus, verily, do We reward the doers of good: or, behold, all this was indeed a trial, clear in itself.” And We ransomed him with a tremendous sacrifice and left him thus to be remembered among later generation.

What was the decisive cause of your faith in Christ? The Calvinist says "The cause of my faith was Christ." The Arminian says "The cause of my faith in Christ was myself." There's way more to it than that (Depravity,Election,Atonement,New birth, perseverance,naming faith,etc), but the original question definitely identifies who is who. Both believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. I don't believe either have lost salvation because of it.

Better explanation of the Trinity which is more accurate both biblically and scientifically is this in short: God is one- “Hear O Israel the Lord is One God” First Commandment, Thou shalt not have any other gods before me. Next, God’s Word doesn’t contradict God’s works. God’s word is special revelation and God’s works are general revelation. The heavens declare the Glory of God, etc… God is Light, God is white light, Matthew 17. God created Light, Genesis 1. Light when refracted through a prism or water vapor reveals the 6 or 7 colors of the rainbow. There are three primary colors, Red, Yellow, and Blue. All three colors are needed to create white light. Take away one color and white light is not possible but rather Orange, Green, and Violet is revealed. Jesus said in Matthew 28, In the Name, of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. One name, three persons. One light, three colors.

They know nothig those who hold up high their wooden Idol (Jesus) and address their prayers to a god (Christ) that does not save. You are saved by my Father the Living God. RThere are three persons in one God (begotten) Let me introduce them to you. (1/4) The Trinity (All will be taught by God) "Je Suis"-Michel-Imanuel Such are the names of our Trinity, the name is the identity and this identity is an Angel. To act as God, the three persons of the trinity must act in unity. When the Roman church held in its hand the spear that pierced me, water came out (Spirit Imanuel) and blood (Angel Michel) Michel, stripped of his Angel and Imanuel of his Spirit, signaled the moment for the Trinity to act in unity. My Father Angel “I Am” was reunited with our person Michel and my Father Spirit “I Am” was reunited with our person/ange Imanuel. The trinity becoming one in “I Am”, I could now present God. My heavenly Father, who bears on him the Angel God, that is his Name, was also the depositary of the Spirit God. As the LORD does not need an additional spirit, he gave the gift of this Spirit to Jesus. The angel Jesus and the Spirit of God merged and this is how Jesus became the son of God in heaven. (A new heaven was created) The spirit of Jesus was then reunited with the second person of the Trinity, and the angel “I Am” The person Jesus stripped of its identity received a new name: “Michel” the Angel of the alliance, The Redeemer (2/4) The Book of Life Since the beginning of Christianity, religious leaders and their followers have transformed the gospel of Christ into a gospel about Jesus, rejecting the ideal to retain only the meaningless idol. In human consciousness, Christ has become synonymous with Jesus, thus depriving all men of their inheritance. It was the beginning of idolatry, we raised Jesus and lowered Christ. Their idol fell and Christ was thrown to the ground. --------------- “Whoever calls on the name of the LORD will be saved” --------------- With his angel “Je Suis”, Michel became the book of life. The angel Michel becomes the Angel of the covenant. This is the name that must be invoked. (3/4) The Prodigal Son --------------- A man had two sons, the younger one asked his father: Father, give me my share of inheritance because I would like to live my life on earth and experience the life of men. The father agreed and gave him his share of the inheritance. After having lived the experience of men, in a disordered and perverse world, he found himself destitute, unhappy and forced to feed the pigs with the scraps of life. He went into himself to question himself and realized that he was happy when he lived with his father. He then made the decision to return to his father's house. When his father saw him coming, he ran towards him to welcome him. Then the son said to him: Father, I am not worthy to be your son, make me one of your servants. The father answered him; it is too little for you to be a servant to me, for I have destined you to be the light of the nations, to be the alliance of the people. Then the father said to his servants; let's kill the fatted calf, let's eat and drink because my son has come home. When he saw this, the eldest son became very angry and said to his father; Father, I have served you all this time and you have never sacrificed a single goat for me, while this son of yours has squandered all his possessions and for him you sacrifice the fatted calf. His father told him ; My son, you are always with me and everything that is mine is yours. This brother of yours was lost and he is found, he was dead and came back to life. The youngest son is Jesus-Christ and the eldest son is Christ-Michel the Lord God myy Shepherd. (4/4) The King Monarch “All have sinned and are deprived of the glory of God” ( So we begat Jesus-Christ ) Wisdom. Knowledge and the fear of the LORD, such will be his treasure. When Jesus fell from heaven because of idolatry and Christ was thrown to the earth because of human indifference, my Father and I raised Jesus-Christ and the dead in Christ were raised with him. Then Jesus-Christ came and sat at my right while I made his enemies a stool for his feet. Today he stands as Christ with the Spirit of Truth and reigns as King with the Spirit of Holiness. These Spirits are in fact the same Spirit, it is the Supreme (A-O) Spirit, (purified, whitened, refined) with two new identities, the angels: (A) Christ et (O) Roi. ( the ancient world has disappeared ) --------------- The Supreme (A-O) Spirit is within and without of all things and beings in motion or at rest. We cannot see him but he is there, he is with you and he is in you, it is its omnipresence. ( the Supreme Spirit has power over all flesh )

Both calvanism and Armenian although appearing opposite in many ways are both biblical. Both can be shown to be true depending upon interpretation. (You know). Just because you may agree or disagree with one or more interpretation and understand the differences does not mean all of a pastors teachings are now garbage. Personally I think it is important to research and understand why all teachings are (or aren't) biblical (just like a Berean). I tend to believe many disagreements over interpretations such as this come from our inability to comprehend what it must be like to be outside of time and see all of history as being in the present (for lack of a better word, since there is no past,present,future meaning if outside of time)

I'm not Arminian Jacob Arminius studied under Theodore Beza, an all-in Calvinist. He praised Calvin's works publicly and unfortunately never shook off his Calvinistic presuppositions. Calvinism is another gospel!! Only a pre-selected elect few will irresistibly turn to Christ consequently all others can't. The unelect have been made vessels prepared for destruction. "Individuals are born doomed from the womb to a certain death and are to glorify Him (God) by their destruction" - John Calvin Compare with Luke 9:56 (vs 55 if using ESV) Calvinism is nothing like scripture.

It would be the comfort of knowing you can live your life however you want with no ultimate consequences. Its the atheists seeking comfort by denying God exists.

Amigo calvinista, *tú no eres mejor que NADIE.* Dios no vió nada especial en ti. Nada. No vales ni un céntimo más que ninguna de esas miles de millones de almas que tu “dios” manda al infierno sin ninguna posibilidad de elección. El único motivo por el que Dios te pudo escoger sin violar Su carácter, sin hacer acepción de personas, (Romanos 2:11) es porque Él sabía de antemano que responderías positivamente a Su llamado. “Porque muchos son llamados, y pocos *ESCOGIDOS.* ” (Mateo 22:14) Porque eso es amor, dar libertad de elección. "A los cielos y a la tierra llamo por testigos hoy contra vosotros, que os he puesto delante la vida y la muerte, la bendición y la maldición; *ESCOGE,* pues…” (Deuteronomio 34:19). Además, *la Biblia NO dice que somos seres totalmente depravados.* ¡Mucho cuidado amigos! Esta afirmación bien podría salir de la boca del mismo satanás, que sí está completamente depravado. *¡Todavía portamos la imagen de Dios!* No lo olvidemos. Y por eso, podemos *CREER* y responder libremente al llamado de Dios para salvación. Eso de la *expiación limitada* es una *abominación.* Herejía de gran calibre. No hay nada de exclusivo o limitado en la cruz. ¡¡Nada!! *Él pagó por TODOS nuestros pecados* (Isaías 53:6), (1 Juan 2:2), (Juan 12:47), (1 Juan 4:14), (Hebreos 2:9), (Tito 2:11). Por eso Jesús nos manda predicar a toda criatura en toda nación. ¿Gracia irresistible? No solo es un concepto herético (Hechos 7:51), sino un absurdo en su esencia. La gracia es un regalo por definición. Un regalo que no se puede rechazar… no es un regalo, es una imposición. *Una vez salvo, siempre salvo, no importa lo que hagas, es una de las mayores y mejores mentiras del diablo.* ¡El Espíritu de Dios no está para tonterías! Todo el Nuevo Testamento está lleno de advertencias, de Jesús y de Pablo, contra la apostasía. Avisar a alguien de un peligro que no existe es una estupidez. El Espíritu de Dios nunca haría tal cosa. Necesitamos estudiar la Biblia, pero necesitamos urgentemente quitarnos las gafas de calvino para poder ver. Oración y ayuno. Por cierto, el cesacionismo es otra herejía. *Todos* los dones del Espíritu Santo operan hoy para la gloria del Señor. Dios quiere que lo sepas. *EL FIN ESTÁ CERCA.*

Ephesians 1:3-6 English Standard Version Spiritual Blessings in Christ 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us[a] for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 1 Peter 1:1-2 English Standard Version Greeting 1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you. Romans 9:16 English Standard Version 16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion,[a] but on God, who has mercy. John 1:12-13 English Standard Version 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

The only reason God could choose you without violating His character, without being a respecter of persons, (Romans 2:11) is because He knew in advance that you would respond positively to His call. “For many are called, but few *CHOSEN.* ” (Matthew 22:14) *FREE WILL = LOVE!!* "I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; *CHOOSE,* therefore..." (Deuteronomy 34:19). Also, *the Bible does NOT say that we are totally depraved beings.* Be very careful friends! This statement could well come from the mouth of satan himself, who is completely depraved. *We still carry the image of God!* Let's not forget it. And because of that, we can *BELIEVE* and respond freely to God's call for salvation. *That limited atonement is an abomination.* Heresy of great caliber. There is nothing exclusive or limited about the cross. Nothing!! *He paid for ALL our sins* (Isaiah 53:6), (1 John 2:2), (John 12:47), (1 John 4:14), (Titus 2:11), (Hebrews 2:9). That is why Jesus commands us to preach to every creature in every nation. Irresistible grace? Not only is it a heretical concept (Acts 7:51), but it is absurd in its essence. Grace is a gift by definition. A gift that cannot be refused... is not a gift, it is an imposition. *Once saved, always saved, no matter what you do, it is one of the devil's biggest and best lies.* The Spirit of God is not up to nonsense! The entire New Testament is full of warnings, from Jesus and Paul, against apostasy. Warning someone of a danger that does not exist is stupid. The Spirit of God would never do such a thing. We need to study the Bible, but we urgently need to take off our Calvin glasses so we can see. Prayer and fasting. By the way, cessationism is another heresy. *All* the gifts of the Holy Spirit operate today for the glory of the Lord. God wants you to know it. (Sorry for my english) *THE END IS NEAR.*

How a *calvinist* should approach a person with *his* “gospel”: "Hi! I have good news for you! I don't know if God loves you, the most likely is that He hates you. I also don't know if He died for you on the cross, only a very few were chosen… But Listen!" Sad but true! This is the false gospel that is being preached in many churches. We need urgently to bring back the *powerful, simple* and *true gospel* summarized in *John 3:16.* If God says that He died for everyone, *it means that He died for EVERYONE:* *Isaiah 53:6* ; *John 1:29* ; *John 3:16,17* ; *John 4:42* ; *2 Corinthians 5:14,15* ; *Romans 5:18* ; *1 Timothy 2:6* ; *1 Timothy 4:10,11* ; *Titus **2:11* ; *1 John 2:2* ; *John 12:47* ; *1 John 4:14* ; *Hebrews 2:9* …etc Let's be very careful, let's not be found liars.

Amen and amen. I miss this great man of God. How wonderfully he taught and now he gets to be continually at the Father's feet praising Him. I can't wait till I join him there.

Jesus was dealing with two questions. When will these things happen (1) the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem) and (2) the sign of his coming and the end of the age. I personally believe that when Jesus says “ this generation will not pass away until all this is fulfilled “ he meant that statement to be in reference to the second question. So when a tribulation takes place, there will be immediately signs in the sun, moon and stars. Then they will see the sign of Christs 24:03 coming- Jesus himself in the clouds! That is the end of the age.

Or he meant his statement to be in reference to answering the first question. In matthew 24, mark 13 and Luke 21 jesus is answering two questions. But he did not mean that those alive when he is speaking would be alive at his return.

​@@dalelinebarger8439Heb 9:28 ISV so the Messiah was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people. And he will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly wait for him. Heb 10:37 ISV For “in a very little while the one who is coming will return- he will not delay; Heb 12:26-27 ISV 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also heaven.” 27 The expression “once more” signifies the removal of what can be shaken, that is, what he has made, so that what cannot be shaken may remain. The old heavens and earth was shook in 70AD and what remains is the new heavens and earth 😅😅😅😅

This calvinist has passed on .. Hope in to Glory . Calvinism can't guarantee anything . Only the shed blood of Christ for the REMISSION of SIN . You don't hear the popular calvinists. ( McArthur Peters white etc ) speak on that . I wonder why ? Oh that's right .They of the highest intelligence . Like their leader John Calvin .

It's so unfortunate that he preached Calvinism for decades... it's another gospel.

He preached God Almighty's indisputable absolute sovereignty -- to which no man's name should be attached.
