Hey r/Calvinism, I dont know if this is the correct subreddit to post but I just turned to Christ around (April to June) last year, when I was doing my language studies overseas.Since coming back to my home country I confessed to my parents about it 2 months ago. My parents tried their hardest, guilty-tripping and sometimes gas-lighting me to make me convert back to my old faith (a indian scripture called Thirukkural, practcing religion-neutrality and very much karma, reincarnation and rebirth based). These questions have therfore been asked from my parents on my convincing to Christianity H ..read more

I came back to Christ this week. After watching American Gospel and Calvinist! I felt conviction for my sins and I prayed to God to save me and the Holy Spirit is changing my heart and mind to turn from my wicked ways. I feel so sad for all the sins I have committed. But God is so wonderful and altogether lovely ?. I’m so ready to get back on the right track and repent! There is no turning back now! I read the whole New Testament this week and I’m praying for God to show me what his plan is for me and what I should do now. I’m looking to join a church so I can grow in my faith! It has been pa ..read more

Calvinists will often say that God ordained/decreed every little thing that happens, wouldn't that mean then that everyone's doing the will of God, even unbelievers? If so, why would God be angry about sin and have enough wrath towards people to send them to hell? submitted by /u/Weekly_Freedom_3173 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Through the doctrine of unconditional election it seems like the elect were never in danger of going to hell since God deterministically chose them before the foundation of the world to be saved. How do you reconcile this doctrine with verses like Jude 1:23 ESV - save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh. submitted by /u/Weekly_Freedom_3173 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

As Christians, we're supposed grow in conformity to the image of Christ. How has the TULIP helped you in that aspect? submitted by /u/Weekly_Freedom_3173 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

The false gospel of justification by so-called "faith" is satan's most subtil deception of self-righteousness. Justification by "faith" is the common denominator of all of false christendom, whether catholicism, liberal protestantism, conservative evangelicalism, and reformed. Yes, Calvin and Luther were dead wrong. All deceived by these man-centered religions will be aligned together against God and against His Christ at the end. The world is filled with men who are ministers of "righteousness" (self-righteousness) who report to satan, the angel of light. For all the elect of God who were ch ..read more

Hi this is very personal sorry. Few years ago I took morning after pill 24 hours after being se....lly assaulted. Recently I became Christian but my PTSD has grown bigger since learning the Catholics and Orthodox belief that life begins at conception and therefore morning after pill is causing an abortion. The belief is that if I unknowingly caused an abortion, this unborn soul is now in heaven. This thought gives me so much anxiety because the last thing I would ever want, if I ever get to heaven some day, is to be faced with a child of the rapist who destroyed my life and hence to be remind ..read more

Yesterday a suddenly got very distressed over the fact that if God predestines some people to heaven then He is essentially deciding everyone else goes to hell. I was so distraught over these people that don't even have a chance that I had a panic attack. My body is literally rejecting these ideas, but from what I know, these predestination is biblical. I know God is righteous and my mind can't completely understand Him, but this seems so wrong. submitted by /u/MachewDun [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
