The hard part, just being real, I think we legitimately have to abandon our lives entirely so that we can be in support of God and only in support of God with no distractions. God will provide for us. He calls for us to have faith in Him. Its a hard pill to swallow. Its terrifying. I keep sinning, no matter what I do, and I could maybe stop if I gave up my wages, my technology, my desires, etc. Really if we follow God we could be completely homeless, maybe we would be completely homeless as a proper Christian, and God would provide for us in all of it. But I sit and find excuses to not make this sacrifice. I keep putting my will first. I started repenting and I felt it, it was real, but that was my next step and I failed so I could keep my 6 figure job, belongings, and comfort. It is shameful. God knew me as I came to him, and sometimes it feels like he never did because I didnt come to him fully.
I don't understand Calvinist teaching... Paul acts upset about people you will not come to Christ... But why would that bother a Calvinist? Makes no sense... Why would a Calvinist even care? Unless they are trying to out pias their fellow Calvinist... That is the only thing that makes sense... 😳
Paul is not a Calvinist, he's a Biblicist. The same Bible that says, "He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world" also says "Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men". There's no contradiction.
@@TheRealBertMoog so Paul believes men have a choice? Anyone can be saved? In other words, whosoever really means WHOSOEVER? How can I phrase this... Are some people predestined to hell no matter what?
@@robertputt7794 No theologian worth his salt would ever say men do not choose. Revelation 22:17 says "let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost." The question is not: "do men have a choice?"... the question is "who chooses life and why?" The problem with men is that we spiritual inertia (Eph 2:1), we remain at rest until acted upon by an outside force. That force is the Holy Spirit (John 3:8)
@@robertputt7794 In what sense are you meaning the word "draw"? By "all men" do you mean every individual person to ever live? Jesus says that many will enter by the way to destruction and few will find the way to life (Matt 7).
Paul, washer is one of the best preachers in the world in the English language. I wish people would get it through their head that Calvinism is the same thing as the free will people Arminianism. It’s just like two sides of a coin, seemingly different answers to the same question about predetermined and free will. I’m not going to explain it any further people need to ponder it.

Only by the grace of God will I be saved, and I must repent; I lack faith as a sinner.

@@TheRealBertMoog would you then say that God the Father draws all men to Jesus or only some men?

False prophet
He is not a prophet. He is a preacher..
