Fighting For The Angels "If my understanding of predestination is not correct, then my sin is compounded, since I would be slandering the saints who by opposing my view are fighting for the angels. But take care to do this with all possible sweetness both of look and of accent Make it a matter of constant and earnest prayer, that God would stop the plague.
When he chooses to do evil, he does not thereby countervail the sovereign will of God but fulfills it, inasmuch as the eternal decree decided not which choice the man should make but that he should be free to make it. If in His absolute freedom God has willed to give man limited freedom, who is there to stay His hand or say, 'What doest thou?
A God less than sovereign could not bestow moral freedom upon His creatures. He would be afraid to do so. Some people think that Arminius rejected predestination in favor of the idea that the free will of man is capable of laying hold of salvation. This idea, however, is nowhere found in his writings at least none which I have read. Regeneration, faith, justification, sanctification, and glorification all belong to God alone.
He resolved from all eternity to condemn to eternal death unbelievers, who, by their own fault and the just judgment of God, would not believe, for the declaration of his wrath and power John ; Luke ; John , 40 ; 2 Thess , 11 ; Rom When both quotes are taken together, I believe his distinctives may be more apparent, and I hope to draw them out in the discussion below.
First, one thing needs to be explained if we want to understand how Arminius viewed predestination. He held that we can never talk about predestination apart from Jesus Christ or sinful man. What this means is that, when we think about the decrees of God regarding predestination, as they took place in the mind of God and according to his foreknowledge before the foundation of the world, we must consider that the objects of predestination we humans were considered by God to be sinners and the propitiation for sin to be the blood of Christ. Now, Arminius wholeheartedly embraced the doctrine of Total Depravity as taught by the other reformers.
He affirmed that Man, having fallen through sin, is wholly enslaved to it, utterly incapable of turning to God in faith or deed. For any man to turn to God in faith, God must regenerate that man, overturning his utter bondage to sin, and bestow the gift of Faith upon him.

So, for Arminius and Calvin alike, it was clear that God had decided, before the foundation of the world, that He would grant faith to certain men, though not all men. Arminius says,. Here then, we can begin to discuss the key difference between the views of Arminius and Calvin. All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
Or are you envious because I am generous? And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. What then? What Israel sought so earnestly it did not obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher.

We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Rather, election by God the Father marks a people to be saved by the work of the Son and Holy Spirit.
What are the Main Differences between Calvinism and Arminianism?
Election is a merciful act of God; God is not obligated to save anyone. Election is a condition for faith. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.
In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. He was not obligated to save anyone. Third: Conditional Election God chose to save those sinners whom He foresaw having faith Election to salvation involves both the sinner choosing God and God choosing the sinner. Conditional Election refers to: Individuals, not a particular nation. Salvation, not service. Election to service is unconditional.
Based on faith, not unto faith. Both sides agree with election and predestination! God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. He made no distinction between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. The Prescient View: God elects based on foreseeing those who will believe.
Conclusion: God elects those whom He foresees having faith. The Calvinist suggests that the Arminian view of Election depicts election to salvation as both merited by faith and meaningless, just an acknowledgement of the obvious. Is God unjust? Not at all! For who resists his will? What if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory—even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?
The word appears only 7 times in the New Testament. Does God foreknow the person or about the person? How many of those He foreknew were predestined?

How many of those He predestined are called? How many of those He called are justified? How many of those He justified are glorified? He did not atone for the sins of any who will die as unbelievers.
Week 1: Defining the Will
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father.

Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.
