You have a great homemaker channel here. However, 1) As a woman you should not be teaching theology. 2) Whether one is a Calvinist or a Freewillist is not definitional of the Christian faith, or of a strong faith in general. It's a point of disagreement, but wherever one falls, within reason, still leaves one a Christian. It's not worth the conflict, even if it gets some views. Use your time and efforts to teach godly womanhood and homemaking to other women. Thank you. The disturbed user who continues to leave the exact same comment underneath mine is an online harasser, who does so intentionally to cause problems. I have answered him previously over five times, and in detail, but he wishes to repeat the same thing over and over, as if he never heard. He also demotes Paul’s writings as mere opinions when they get in the way of defending his feminism. Since it is clear he cannot engage intelligently and respectfully, I will not answer him anymore. I don’t entertain harassers.
Alana, I live in Utah which is predominantly mormon and religious. It is a mission field! And we are from CA- used to attend JonnyMacs church and I see so many similarities to lds " prophet syndrome" it is interesting since moving here because I never understood free will! This is due to the fact that lds are in fact hyper Armenian. We also homeschool and this year we did Utah history because many Christians have come here since the beginning to try and plant. Early 1800s actually discussed the Old Lights Vs the New Lights which basically divided the free killers vs calvinists.
II Timothy 2:15 - rightly divide the word of truth. Ephesians 1:13-14 - the word of truth is the gospel of our salvation. When we believe the gospel, we are sealed until our redemption. I Corinthians 15:1-4 - is the gospel of the grace of God and when we believe the gospel we are saved.
Faith without works is dead is telling you to do it, not only say it. Faith also means obedience always, no matter what happens. Picking up your cross is telling you to carry the weight of the whole cross, all burdens that come with professing truth, once truth is revealed to you by the Holy Spirit. Meaning, give your whole life up, all of it, not just a portion of it, or what you selectively chose to partially do without. The Covenant, the Law, the 10 Commandments must be adhered to.

If you still don't know and aren't positive that His Sabbath begins at sun up on each 7th day, like we've been told in scriptures, that should concern you. "Seek and you shall find." If you're not finding, you're not seeking, which is lack of "doing" on your part. Faith is dead without the doing. Loving Him with all of our heart, mind, and soul, and loving our neighbors as ourselves, is holding them accountable for their violation of His Commandments, the Law, each and every time we see or hear it, just like He did.

If you do not correct all Law breakers, you are then in agreement with them, and a coward too. Anyone without His behavior, will go to tribulation and does not have the Spirit of Truth in them.

To your point #3, how do you understand God’s actions in the Old Testament when dealing with the Israelites who were rebellious? I’m thinking specifically about the instance in Numbers when a group of the Israelites started going up against Moses, and God’s wrath raged, killing many in the camp, until Moses quickly told Aaron to make atonement for the people. Also the instance where God opened up a hole in the ground, and the main instigators of the rebellion, along with their families fell through into Sheol. Both instances, as well as God’s choosing of and favor on Moses and Aaron, seem to show that most of humanity really is prideful, fallen, and rebellious on their own, unless God intervenes.

Amen!! I recently came out from sitting under Calvinism/Reformed Theology-just about a week ago. I had sensed that something wasn’t right with the teaching, especially as they encouraged everyone to read books by J.I. Packer, R.C. Sproul, and dive into systematic theology. I only knew a little about this theology at the time, so I started doing my own research. However, the Reformers’ RUclips channels and websites only left me more confused. Then, I came across your website, where you shared your testimony and explained TULIP in a way that was so clear and simple to understand. I’m also a RUclipsr and initially thought I wouldn’t share my story about this. However, after realizing how much your testimony helped me, I decided to make a video of my own in the hope that it might help others as well. Thank you so much for sharing your story-it’s been such a blessing!! Praise God!
As a former Calvinist of 11 years, I knew what that last one was- "sovereign"! 😆 I once asked the pastor of our new church why the church seemed to talk about Calvinism every single week. And I believed in Calvinism at the time, but I didnt see why we had to constantly talk about it when there were so many other important things in the Bible that had more relevance to our lives. He said they were passionate about the "sovereignty of God." I accepted that answer at the time but now I roll my eyes. I wish he would come to know the truth about God's love and provision for all people.
Hey Alana, I have been watching your channel since the beginning. Around the time you started speaking out against Calvinism, I saw people in my homeschool group moving toward the belief. Also, someone very close to me believes it. I believe God used you to help me see before I was pulled into it. I need help though. When I question the person close to me, they say God knows everything that is going to happen because he is God. He knows who is going to heaven ahead of time, therefore He controls it. Also, they use the example that God chose all the different people ahead of time in the Bible to fulfill His plan, which is true so I don’t know how to argue that we aren’t chosen, if God chose Abraham, Joseph, John the Baptist(even before he was born), and many others. What do you say when someone tells you this?
Those people weren’t chosen for salvation. They were chosen for the service and task that God called them too. :) I’m i’m thankful that you have not been sucked in. Make sure you’re not in an echo chamber with them because you might be over time. Don’t bring up the topic unless they do because it will make things rocky no matter what you think now. I’ve learned the hard way. It’s easier not to talk about it with them because they are so married to it. Praying for you!
@@AlanaL3 Hello Alana, Did you get my previous comment below? Can you reply to it? This is your channel. I would ask you to please assure that the user TheMirabillis cease harassing me. He continues to put the exact same copy and pastes beneath my comments. Then I delete mine and post it again. I corresponded with this user earlier, answered the same objection like five times, and then I told him I do not want to talk more, since it's pointless. He now finds it amusing to put the exact same comment beneath my own, just to annoy me. This is getting ridiculous. YT does not have a blocking feature, otherwise I'd just block him. Since this is your channel I'd ask you to warn, and then remove TheMirabillis if he continues. Normal people do not act that way, and it is simple harassment. Please do something about it. Thank you.
That is _not_ true. Wealthy Jewish people put the whole New Testament together before AD 70. Read, The First Edition of the New Testament, by David Trobisch.
Prideful humans think they can justify themselves or agree with a holy God somehow, aka Meet him halfway (have faith) Justification is by Christ alone. Ep. 2 is clear you can't make yourself alive. Grace and faith are both the object of the Gift given. Receive it in faith and walk by faith in the grace given.( walk humbly ) If i listened to Alana years back I wouldn't be part of a local body of believers, that pray together , mourn together and worship the one true God together. stop trying to solve something your fleshly mind can't reconcile. Blessings!
@@skilledinspeech9917of course you are free to not sin! That doesn’t mean you are capable. You are free to run the marathon that doesn’t mean you are capable. It s because our incapacity to meet God requirement that we need His grace. By His grace only we are saved through faith in Christ the only one who has the capacity to meet the Father requirement.
Of course not, never heard a Christian who believes that. Sin is our nature since Adam. But with our will we can see that we need help and cry for it and receive the free gift of salvation.
\\ If we have free will, then we can freely will to never sin \\ Do you have the free will to make every day choices or is God controlling you like a Robot ?
Love to be love has to be volunteer, if it were enforced by God, it wouldn't be love! He chose us first, and we chose him, in response of him choosing us. But of course, without his grace, we wouldn't even have a chance to choose him. So thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ, that he granted me the grace of choosing him.
And what do you think of those who don’t choose him? He didn’t grant them the grace? They’re doomed then because God rejects them? It has to go both ways. When you only focus on yourself it’s hard the realize what you’re saying of others.
@@AlanaL3 God chose them, but they rejected God. God's will is that all the manking be saved, according to 1Timothy 2:3,4 that says: (This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth). But some of them, just reject the salvation granted by the Lord, by their own free will. I don't buy into this calvinist theology!
You misquoted Scripture @7:58. Go read Mt. 23:37 again, and compare it to what you said it said. See how they don't line up? See how you had to misquote the text? Telling, indeed.
@@AlanaL3 So, you misquoted the text (Mt. 23:37), which, if you actually read the text would change your false interpretation of it. Very sad to see, and then proceed to hurl insults. Shame on you. Synergistic self-exaltation at its finest, right there, thinking you conjured up Saving Faith out of the cauldron of your own 'free will' (falsely defined as, 'the power of contrary choice'). Not my fault you have to misquote Scripture in your self-exalting bad theology. That's on you. *Soli Deo Gloria*
This is what happens when women try to assert authority over a man. If she believed in the Bible at all she wouldn’t be making this video from a place speaking as an authority… she doesn’t believe the Bible or she would be quiet when a man corrects her poor doctrine. She knows bette duet obviously only chooses the parts she likes.
Right about context! One hermeneutical rule is you must always bring the context of the OT passage into the context of the NT when it is referenced there. All of those OT references are referring to the nation of Israel, not the body of Christ. Paul said the body of Christ was hid in God, not foreseen by any man before him; therefore, the body of Christ cannot be seen at all in the Hebrew scriptures. Eph 3:1-9, Rom 16:25-26, Col 1:25-27, 1Tim 1:15-16, etc. Listen to Randy White Ministries or the podcast But It Says to learn more.

@@onlythered9191 This is Judaism. You’re ignoring Paul’s statements that he received a new revelation apart from Israel, apart from the law (Acts 13:38-39). See other verses above.
On a serious note, it’s not a big deal if you are or aren’t a Calvinist. It’s not essential to have a certain soteriological belief to be truly saved. I was saved when I was an anti-Calvinist. And I’m saved now that I’m a Calvinist. Most people who take issue with Calvinism don’t actually understand what it is.
It is true that may who recoil at it initially do not understand it. However, I am seeing many Calvinists essentially say this is true in EVERY situation. They believe it is impossible to be saved, truly understand Calvinism, and reject it. Sad to see such gaslighting.
How dare calvinists wrongly give too much glory, credit, reverence and honor to God. You obviously don't understand reformed theology. Go fight actual heresies.
Thank you Alana! This is helping me identify the church I am thinking about going to. Genuine Q - What would you say to the statement “Even our faith is a gift from God?”
People like to stereotype people .... However, ideology that's categorised as "Hyper Calvinism" can be a trap. Ironically, that ideology is an insult to Calvin .... He'd be turning his grave if he could
@@gigahorse1475I'm going to take the liberty of adding this to your remark: some "Christians" are not true Christians however much they pride themselves in having the "right theology". I'm not wanting to promote carelessness but as long as fallible humans exist: there's no perfect church on earth and we are bound to misinterpret one another .... Including those who have gone before.
Every time I watch your videos my face still goes red - hot. It's so embarrassing :( it turns bright bright red and feels like I've eaten the world's hottest pepper!! Thanks for video I need to learn more. I'm not into any denomination, I'm just a Christian
everyone has an opinion and urs is not based on the Word.. fallen man is DEAD to the things of the Lord doesnt want the Lord.. It is centered on self,, reformed theology uplifts the sovereignty of God.. He does it all He has chosen His sheep before the foundation of the world... u would have to admit that people are lost.. are u just smarter than them.. choosing the Lord. and they dont. That surely is prideful ,,, well just something to think about.... It all about the Lord
If what you’re saying were true, then it makes the God you believe in very cruel and immoral towards humanity. The God you believe in has created the majority of humanity for Hell. That is morally insane. I am so glad that I don’t believe it.
@@TheMirabillis well that is ur opinion,, ur the one saying God is cruel.. its not reformed theology,,,,, it just shows u dont know what the Bible teaches u have FREE will to believe what the Bible doesnt teach,,,, The Lord is not cruel sorry u think he is..
@@dwg6977 It is not merely my opinion. Rather, it is an issue of morality. If God created you for Heaven ( and that is loving ), then it logically follows that God creating you for Hell ( is unloving ).
@@TheMirabillis he didnt create us for Heaven where do u get ur theology do u read ur Bible dont think so.. logic is not faith or belief.. the word plainly saids
@@dwg6977 You are wrong. If you are one of the elect, then you are created to live with Christ forever in the new Heavens and the new Earth ( and that is loving ). If you are one of the non elect, then God has created you for Hell ( and that is the opposite of loving ).
Amen, praise God! I'm so glad I got out of Calvinism as well, after having been deeply into it. Now I would encourage you to keep growing in your understanding, using a KJB only & learn how to rightly divide Scripture as we are instructed in 2 Tim.2:15 KJB. This is KEY to understanding the Scriptures. We must separate instruction for Israel under law & covenant (faith + works & gospel of the kingdom instruction given to us in the body of Christ ( under faith alone & gospel of grace) who will occupy the heavenly realm (not the promised land on earth). Because you are using the Bible wrong a little, too. For instance, we in the BOC don't have to confess with our mouth to be saved, as you even said, salvation today is by believing alone. Leave it at that. The Bible verse about confess with the mouth is actually talking about Israel's kingdom program. Paul is talking about Israel's program in Romans 9,10 & 11. True grace, true peace! Pauline Mid-Acts Dispensational Bible study.💝🎯
Great video! When you started with "sovreign" I yelled yes! The labeling and "shocked and appalled" looks when they give you the accusation "you don't beleive God is sovreign?!". Sad and frustrating.
Hi Alana. I trust that you and your family are doing well. I live in South Africa and Calvinism is huge over here, because of influential churches such as the Dutch Reformed Church. I grew up Calvinist and only realized it later in life. Growing up I could never understand why the church condoned Apartheid and only later realized that it was partly due to the huge impact of Calvinism, where white people thought that they were part of God's elect and not the black or colored people. It is obvious and utter nonsense, since all people, irrespective of skin color, are made in the image of God, but this basic truth is something that I never heard in church. Anyway, I enjoy your videos. If you don't mind, I include this link - ruclips.net/video/aCrkyEVPgWY/видео.html - which is a sermon on the absurdity of Calvinism, brilliantly illustrated through a simple, yet powerful story. Perhaps you have already seen it. Thanks & keep well.
@@AlanaL3 It's a pleasure. And yes, thankfully I am out of Calvinism. It has been quite a journey over the last couple of years, which involved a lot of reading, contemplating, Bible study, praying, frustrating discussions with fellow Calvinists, but also watching incredibly helpful videos by people such as yourself, Leighton Flowers, etc. So, a huge big thank you to you and please keep up your good work. You have an impact on people and might not even realize it. Regards from the beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.
Eh?! I haven't met a single Calvinist who says election is only for white people! This might surprise you but I have met many black people who like the same theology Calvin followed
@@uselogic1 hmm .... It deleted my comment! RUclips evidently wants you to be sectarian and say Calvinists are racist .... I repeat: I know many Calvinists and they know/preach the gospel is for everyone regardless of skin colour
@@HannahMetcalfe-m8f Hi. Thanks for your comment and hope you are doing well. Yes, you are right and of course not all Calvinists are racists and that was definitely not what I implied. It would be silly and obviously wrong for any person to say that. I can only speak from my experience in South Africa and unfortunately it is a fact and part of our tarnished history that Calvinism had a great influence on the mind set of white people. The Dutch Reformed church condoned Apartheid. Dr. D.F. Malan, who served as prime minister of South Africa from 1948 - 1954, was a Dutch Reformed Church reverend before entering politics, who had a huge impact on shaping the mind set of white people. He was one of the architects of Apartheid and was responsible for implementing apartheid laws such as The Group Areas Act as well as the Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act. Therefor, denying Calvinism's impact on our society would be akin to denying history. Thanks & keep well
I only got two minutes in and stopped because it was such poor analysis, not fair-minded, not at all engaging with the scriptures that challenge these reductionistic arguments which have been refuted since the time of Augustine (and even Paul). So, just on the first two minutes: Of course we must believe to be saved! Every real Christian believes that, Calvinist or Arminian. The question then becomes: How do we believe? Scripture gives such strong and consistent answers to that question: John 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. Acts 13:48 And as many as were appointed to eternal life believed. Luke 10:21 In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, 'I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will'. John 3:3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. 1 Pet 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again. Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, ("this" is speaking either of faith or of the entirety of what preceded it, which includes faith ... see any Greek commentary on that verse). Revelation 13:8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it (the beast), everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. Soooo many more: Romans 8-9, Ephesians 1, John 8, John 10, several Proverbs, Job 1-2, etc. So, if your loved one is becoming a CALVINIST ... REJOICE! For, they are finally reading and believing their Bible! Also, if it doesn't humble them to the dirt, cause them to be overwhelmed by thankfulness, see God as bigger than they ever imagined, and cause them to rely more on Him, and encourage them to pray more and evangelize more, then they're doing it wrong.

Two minutes listening is not enough to do Alana justice even if you normally would agree with her. There is something of an admission in your first sentance that what has come to be called Calvinism doesn't really go back before Augustine. You would be right to think that! Briefly: John 6 : 44 - the drawing of the Father was to Jesus in his earthly ministry. It is not relevant after the cross and resurrection. Jesus now draws all people to himself, although they won't all of course come to him. The Holy Spirit since Pentecost now convicts of sin, and specifically the sin of not believing in Jesus. Acts 13 : 48 - beware of reading Calvinism into the text as though it read _And as many as were appointed by God before the foundation of the world to eternal life believed._ And compare it with Acts 13 : 46 which is the contrast with those who rejected the message. They judged themselves unworthy of eternal life, there is nothing in the text to indicate this was foreordained. Eph 2 : 8 You are right that neither faith nor grace are the antecedent of gift. Faith is not the gift, either this refers to salvation as being the gift or the whole package of salvation, being dependent on grace accessed by faith. Too many Calvinists talk as though faith itself is the gift of God here.
@@ryangallmeier6647 No sir. Your manipulation of terms is so harmful and frankly, hurtful to God's character. We will not be drawn in and made to feel foolish because you chose to create a God in your own flawed understanding of Scripture.
@@MrsM74 So, is God in control, or, is He out of control (Deists claim the same thing, mind you)? Absolute Divine Predestination is what Scripture teaches; fallen man thinks he is in control, and it's a false belief corrected by Scripture. *Soli Deo Gloria*
@@ryangallmeier6647 No. Your logic is indeed flawed. God IS in control. That is TRUTH. And the "control" or more correctly, nature of God, is that HE created man with FREE WILL. God is NOT "out of control" due to the fact that we see sin, sickness, and storms. Satan is temporarily moving in this realm. We are not in Heaven yet. BUT THEN! Oh! But then, we shall be in GOD's PRESENCE for ETERNITY and ALL will be indeed "HIS WILL" ...perfection.
@@SouthernAnnie Ah, notice how you give with one hand what you take away with the other? The idolatry of 'human free will' is just that: Idolatry. Fallen man is ENSLAVED to sin and error. Scripture clears up this confusion very nicely. Martin Luther wrote an excellent treatise on the "Bondage of the Will". I highly recommend it. Man's "free will" in which he was originally created, was a will free from sin, and free from error. Not 'the power of contrary choice'.
My favourite Spurgeon book is "All of Grace". It's probably one of his smallest books and a very easy read: I challenge you to read it and say what exactly is "not of God"
@@HannahMetcalfe-m8f Faith without works is dead is telling you to do it, not only say it. Faith also means obedience always, no matter what happens. Picking up your cross is telling you to carry the weight of the whole cross, all burdens that come with professing truth, once truth is revealed to you by the Holy Spirit. Meaning, give your whole life up, all of it, not just a portion of it, or what you selectively chose to partially do without. The Covenant, the Law, the 10 Commandments must be adhered to. Both physically and spiritually. We were told that if we love Him follow His Commandments and walk exactly like He did. If you still don't know and aren't positive that His Sabbath begins at sun up on each 7th day, like we've been told in scriptures, that should concern you. "Seek and you shall find." If you're not finding, you're not seeking, which is lack of "doing" on your part. Faith is dead without the doing. Loving Him with all of our heart, mind, and soul, and loving our neighbors as ourselves, is holding them accountable for their violation of His Commandments, the Law, each and every time we see or hear it, just like He did. We all should also be eating clean, just as He did too. He had Noah load both clean and unclean animals into the Ark to point it out. 660 degrees Celcius is the temperature needed to kill all parasites. A wood fire is the only cooking method that can do that, which is why we're not to boil either. It can reach upwards of 1100 degrees Celsius. Fasting also kills all parasites. He showed us the way. He said He was hated before we would be too. I'm hated by everyone that knows me. They're lawless, I am not, and I point it out in every person I interact with, family included. Our stripes of suffering too. Are you currently hated by everyone in your life too? If not, it should concern you. If you do not correct all Law breakers, you are then in agreement with them, and a coward too. Anyone without His behavior, will go to tribulation and does not have the Spirit of Truth in them. Many were called, but few were chosen. Don't go to the left, or to the right. Only Him. Quit leading yourselves and let Him, like He told us. He'll give due meat in it's season. Jacob was the faithful servant, and the tribe of Judah. These are Jacob's troubles inbound right now in the world. Those that are truly obedient will receive their blessings, just as Jacob did for being a true servant. Have you diligently studied all there is to know about Jacob, since this time now is Jacob's troubles? If not, that should concern you. Yeshua said He would make Himself known to each of us personnelly, once we truly believed and are obedient. He made Himself know to me. His personal touch. Are you able to definitively say that He's revealed Himself to you too? If not, that should concern you. Isn't upholding His Law and trying to find and warn His lost sheep our top priority? Or, is looking at calandars with months named after Roman gods each day, and just warning that He's about to return? All Law breakers and those not fully circumcised from life will go to tribulation. Quit thanking Him for your unclean food that you eat daily. He told you not to. It's His creation to say, not yours. It's not doing as He did. Eating clean proves you've read His words and that you've been taught by the Holy Spirit. He warned all of us, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." That should concern you too. His Covenant, the Law, is our marriage license with Him. Out of His Laws and ways is divorced. Only the 144000 is the first fruits, the chosen. And only the truly ignorant of Truth, that have never heard it correctly, but we're seeking it, will go to the wilderness to be cared for during Jacob's troubles. All others have heard the Truth at some point and chose to reject it, and never searched any matters out, will go to tribulation to be refined and corrected. Too little, too late. The Gopher wood that Noah used to build the Ark is only native to Southern Georgia and Northern Florida. Gophers are only native to North and South Americs. The great Bald Eagle is only native to North America. And the Amazon River is the largest with the greatest water discharge flow on Earth. His Creation shows the answers too, not just His words. Things are not what you believe them to be. Most were deceived.
Alana, the words you spoke are exactly how my daughter sounds- it all started over 5 years ago, and because I wasn’t familiar with Calvinism, I didn’t understand at first- but yes, the red flags did go up for me eventually- after several months of that-when I realized what they truly believed😢 I’m still praying God wakes them up, in Jesus name Anen‼️
Your daughter is a christian....or do you believe that calvinists are not christians. If that is what you believe, then I think you need to really step back and consider what that means. Sorry your daughter holds to some thinking that you don't, but praise God she is saved. May God bless her, and you.
Try to understand Calvinism before being upset about your daughter. You should be happy she’s taking her faith seriously! Calvinists and non-Calvinists are Christian. Please don’t be divisive of the brethren… God hates that. I used to come from a church that hated Calvinism. My pastor even said that Calvinism is evil. But then I started studying and questioning, and I found out Calvinism is biblical and it is loving. People just have a lot of misconceptions about it.

12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[a] she must be quiet. As you listen to this woman direct you on Bible as a authority remember she doesn’t believe the Bible to begin with.
I believe in a gracious God, too, that grants everlasting life to everyone who believes in Jesus. Not one randomly picking some and forcing his grace and love on them while refusing to give it to the rest of us.
\\ No one taught me the doctrines of grace, I found them myself and embraced them wholeheartedly \\ You’re wrong. At sometime, you heard or read about the “so called” doctrines of grace.
@@an_nie_dyc1386 God does exactly as he desires for his own glory. He fulfills his will. It is not random. Random implies without purpose, which is silly. This is God we are talking about.
You can’t get to know Jesus with John Calvin in the way. Every sermon, at a former church, focused on reformed church history, Calvinism, and somehow forgot to mention the Gospel. Many Calvinists fail in the Great Commission. 😢 Perhaps a follow up video on ELECTION. ❤
What a failure to perceive that God must necessarily be at the back of it all. Even if you grant free will faith as true, God must be behind it since we did not choose to be who we are, out of which nature we either choose or dont choose God. As long as God is all-knowing, then He necessarilly KNOWLINGLY initiated this universe KNOWING the kind of person you would be and whether or not you would seek Him. Unlike this woman, at least the open theists have realized this, which is why they have denied omniscience. You have not even come a step in this discussion until you have recognized this basic issue.
They want to be molinists without taking the time to actually dig into the philosophy.....but once you dig into it, you realize that molinism is just calvinism one step removed. As you say, God still knowingly initiated this universe, and he knew every bit of how it plays out, and he chose to make it so. If God does indeed know us personally, before the foundation of the earth, there are some serious realities that have to be dealt with. Gone are the days where we have no idea how babies are conceived. One specific egg, and one specific sperm, each with completely unique DNA that makes the completely unique human. God must know every little detail for any of us to exist specifically. So you can have your free will, or you can have God who is true to his word....but not both.
Genesis 27:27 is the "kiss" of Jacob to his Father Isaac. His clothes "smelled" like the fields of"earth." May God give you the "dew" of Heaven, Isaac said to his son Jacob. It's his blessing. An abundance of grain and new wine Isaac said. Zachariah 8:12 says the seed will prosper, the vine will give fruit, the ground will give her increase, and the heavens shall give their "dew." Psalms 110:3 says Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the "dew" of thy youth. Genesis 27:28 says Therefore God give thee of the "dew" of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine. Haggai 1:10 says Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from "dew." There are many, many more verses too. The dew is the wine, the oil, the fragrent Incense, the fire, the smoke, the flame, the clouds, the rain and "mist". The "dew" is on our wool to protect us because we are his sheep He told us. All scenarios need a form of water, moisture which is the "dew" or "mist" from the mountains of Heaven as we were told. The Mountain "Dew" it says. Christ went up to the Mountain to pray to the Father. Moses went up the Mountain to receive the Law. God chose "green" signet rings to hold the poles of the Ark. That color and stone represents His creation. God's "green" earth. The Ark was in water with clouds and "mist" above protected during the flood. The light spectrum has "green" in the middle which is visible to all of us. There are 7 primary colors, "green" is in the middle, representing our Father is in our midst and in the center of what He created. It's also just the like the 7 candlesticks that sit inside His lampstand. He is the center of every rainbow, "green". The aurora borielous is the same signet "green" color too. Satan has the lost sheep spewing the answers from their mouths ever time they talk "green", go "green", or "green" means go on some official "green" action plan websites. Mt.Dew soda is signet "green" too. The A3 comet that reached it max brightness on September 26th is "green" too, and still above us now. "Dew" is also the same "green" color, but is an acronym for d.e.w., or directed energy weapon, and is in particle ("dew") form. A laser. More wool is about to be pulled over the lost sheep's eyes after those Chosen are gone. "Green means go" This will be Jacob's blessing during his time of troubles.

What a strange group of Christians who openly hate God's most painstakingly revealed attributes all to appease the emotions of their flesh. It's not all her fault though, you listeners, her taking a teaching platform is part of your judgment
Came here looking for at least one comment that is rational....Thanks Rogue! Can you imagine being in the position where you basically anathematize CH Spurgeon, Martin Lloyd Jones, JC Ryle, Johnathan Edwards, BB Warfield, and countless other wonderful men of God.
@@LindsayJackel She actively hates the teaching of the reformation, and basically anathematizes them and anyone who agrees with them. She is full of hate. Calvinists brought about the end of Roman corruption that was subverting Christians. Are you OK? Perhaps you should go get your head checked out.
Another one I'd add is "they're excessively arrogant and smug." Calvinists, for all their talk about "giving all credit to God," love to credit and uplift themselves above all else. I swear, Calvinists sound as arrogant, if not more, than any Reddit atheist.
Every Christian denomination is riddled with error. Christianity, if you look at its historical roots is pagan. It was created by Constantine as he saw that the people of “The Way” only had one God and concluded that people were much easier to manipulate this way. And so the abominable catholic church was formed, along with Christianity. They keep pagan holidays, despite God detesting the ways of pagan worship and ignore Gods appointed feasts. They remain in the world and practice lawlessness; cherishing grace and shunning obedience- calling it “works”. Who were the 2 churches in Revelation who had the Lords approval? I don’t think they are a denomination. They are probably those who have separated themselves from religion altogether and worship in Spirit and truth.
Alana, thank you for sharing your voice on this topic! You are a blessing! Earlier this week I listened to Leighton Flowers go over John 6 and it was so good. I’m thankful for all of y’all that are bringing this into the light. ❤🙏

You have a great homemaker channel here. However, 1) As a woman you should not be teaching theology. 2) Whether one is a Calvinist or a Freewillist is not definitional of the Christian faith, or of a strong faith in general. It's a point of disagreement, but wherever one falls, within reason, still leaves one a Christian. It's not worth the conflict, even if it gets some views.
Use your time and efforts to teach godly womanhood and homemaking to other women. Thank you.
The disturbed user who continues to leave the exact same comment underneath mine is an online harasser, who does so intentionally to cause problems. I have answered him previously over five times, and in detail, but he wishes to repeat the same thing over and over, as if he never heard. He also demotes Paul’s writings as mere opinions when they get in the way of defending his feminism. Since it is clear he cannot engage intelligently and respectfully, I will not answer him anymore. I don’t entertain harassers.
Alana, I live in Utah which is predominantly mormon and religious. It is a mission field! And we are from CA- used to attend JonnyMacs church and I see so many similarities to lds " prophet syndrome" it is interesting since moving here because I never understood free will! This is due to the fact that lds are in fact hyper Armenian. We also homeschool and this year we did Utah history because many Christians have come here since the beginning to try and plant. Early 1800s actually discussed the Old Lights Vs the New Lights which basically divided the free killers vs calvinists.
II Timothy 2:15 - rightly divide the word of truth.
Ephesians 1:13-14 - the word of truth is the gospel of our salvation. When we believe the gospel, we are sealed until our redemption.
I Corinthians 15:1-4 - is the gospel of the grace of God and when we believe the gospel we are saved.
Amen I praying more people see understand right dividing .

To your point #3, how do you understand God’s actions in the Old Testament when dealing with the Israelites who were rebellious? I’m thinking specifically about the instance in Numbers when a group of the Israelites started going up against Moses, and God’s wrath raged, killing many in the camp, until Moses quickly told Aaron to make atonement for the people. Also the instance where God opened up a hole in the ground, and the main instigators of the rebellion, along with their families fell through into Sheol. Both instances, as well as God’s choosing of and favor on Moses and Aaron, seem to show that most of humanity really is prideful, fallen, and rebellious on their own, unless God intervenes.
Nice job.

I recently came out from sitting under Calvinism/Reformed Theology-just about a week ago. I had sensed that something wasn’t right with the teaching, especially as they encouraged everyone to read books by J.I. Packer, R.C. Sproul, and dive into systematic theology. I only knew a little about this theology at the time, so I started doing my own research. However, the Reformers’ RUclips channels and websites only left me more confused.
Then, I came across your website, where you shared your testimony and explained TULIP in a way that was so clear and simple to understand.
I’m also a RUclipsr and initially thought I wouldn’t share my story about this. However, after realizing how much your testimony helped me, I decided to make a video of my own in the hope that it might help others as well.
Thank you so much for sharing your story-it’s been such a blessing!!
Praise God!
She's painfully sophomoric
As a former Calvinist of 11 years, I knew what that last one was- "sovereign"! 😆 I once asked the pastor of our new church why the church seemed to talk about Calvinism every single week. And I believed in Calvinism at the time, but I didnt see why we had to constantly talk about it when there were so many other important things in the Bible that had more relevance to our lives. He said they were passionate about the "sovereignty of God." I accepted that answer at the time but now I roll my eyes. I wish he would come to know the truth about God's love and provision for all people.
Amen!
Calvinism is missing the love of God. We need more Christians to call out this evil doctrine. Thank you god for allow us to chose him.
@@quincysthillaire why is it unloving? because the atonement is limited?
@ no the lack of freedom to chose. It’s not the issue like you here is no way out of the fire. It’s just that god choose to take some out.
❤️🙏🏻❤️ God bless you and your family ❤!
Hey Alana,
I have been watching your channel since the beginning. Around the time you started speaking out against Calvinism, I saw people in my homeschool group moving toward the belief. Also, someone very close to me believes it. I believe God used you to help me see before I was pulled into it. I need help though.
When I question the person close to me, they say God knows everything that is going to happen because he is God. He knows who is going to heaven ahead of time, therefore He controls it.
Also, they use the example that God chose all the different people ahead of time in the Bible to fulfill His plan, which is true so I don’t know how to argue that we aren’t chosen, if God chose Abraham, Joseph, John the Baptist(even before he was born), and many others. What do you say when someone tells you this?
Those people weren’t chosen for salvation. They were chosen for the service and task that God called them too. :)
I’m i’m thankful that you have not been sucked in. Make sure you’re not in an echo chamber with them because you might be over time.
Don’t bring up the topic unless they do because it will make things rocky no matter what you think now. I’ve learned the hard way. It’s easier not to talk about it with them because they are so married to it. Praying for you!
@@AlanaL3 Hello Alana, Did you get my previous comment below? Can you reply to it?
This is your channel. I would ask you to please assure that the user TheMirabillis cease harassing me. He continues to put the exact same copy and pastes beneath my comments. Then I delete mine and post it again. I corresponded with this user earlier, answered the same objection like five times, and then I told him I do not want to talk more, since it's pointless. He now finds it amusing to put the exact same comment beneath my own, just to annoy me. This is getting ridiculous. YT does not have a blocking feature, otherwise I'd just block him. Since this is your channel I'd ask you to warn, and then remove TheMirabillis if he continues. Normal people do not act that way, and it is simple harassment. Please do something about it. Thank you.
Alana, It’s confusing, though. If they were chosen for a task, wasn’t it already determined that they would be a follower of God and fulfill his plan?
@@AlanaL3 Why did you remove my comment above? There is nothing wrong with it, even if it gently correct you.
@ I didn’t.
Good job! Very practical help for those slipping into false belief. Thanks for pointing to the "common sense" of the scriptures.
But where did the scripture come from ? It came from the church that existed 300 years before they put the New Testament together.
That is _not_ true. Wealthy Jewish people put the whole New Testament together before AD 70. Read, The First Edition of the New Testament, by David Trobisch.
Prideful humans think they can justify themselves or agree with a holy God somehow, aka Meet him halfway (have faith) Justification is by Christ alone. Ep. 2 is clear you can't make yourself alive. Grace and faith are both the object of the Gift given. Receive it in faith and walk by faith in the grace given.( walk humbly ) If i listened to Alana years back I wouldn't be part of a local body of believers, that pray together , mourn together and worship the one true God together. stop trying to solve something your fleshly mind can't reconcile. Blessings!
The God you worship is not worthy of worship. A God who creates the majority of Humanity for Hell is cruel and immoral towards humanity.

Of course not, never heard a Christian who believes that. Sin is our nature since Adam.
But with our will we can see that we need help and cry for it and receive the free gift of salvation.

Very clear and biblical warning - thank you!
Love to be love has to be volunteer, if it were enforced by God, it wouldn't be love! He chose us first, and we chose him, in response of him choosing us. But of course, without his grace, we wouldn't even have a chance to choose him. So thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ, that he granted me the grace of choosing him.
And what do you think of those who don’t choose him? He didn’t grant them the grace? They’re doomed then because God rejects them? It has to go both ways. When you only focus on yourself it’s hard the realize what you’re saying of others.
@@AlanaL3 God chose them, but they rejected God. God's will is that all the manking be saved, according to 1Timothy 2:3,4 that says: (This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth). But some of them, just reject the salvation granted by the Lord, by their own free will. I don't buy into this calvinist theology!

Right about context! One hermeneutical rule is you must always bring the context of the OT passage into the context of the NT when it is referenced there. All of those OT references are referring to the nation of Israel, not the body of Christ. Paul said the body of Christ was hid in God, not foreseen by any man before him; therefore, the body of Christ cannot be seen at all in the Hebrew scriptures. Eph 3:1-9, Rom 16:25-26, Col 1:25-27, 1Tim 1:15-16, etc. Listen to Randy White Ministries or the podcast But It Says to learn more.
Faith without works is dead is telling you to do it, not only say it. Faith also means obedience always, no matter what happens. Picking up your cross is telling you to carry the weight of the whole cross, all burdens that come with professing truth, once truth is revealed to you by the Holy Spirit. Meaning, give your whole life up, all of it, not just a portion of it, or what you selectively chose to partially do without.
The Covenant, the Law, the 10 Commandments must be adhered to. Both physically and spiritually. We were told that if we love Him follow His Commandments and walk exactly like He did. If you still don't know and aren't positive that His Sabbath begins at sun up on each 7th day, like we've been told in scriptures, that should concern you. "Seek and you shall find."
If you're not finding, you're not seeking, which is lack of "doing" on your part. Faith is dead without the doing.
Loving Him with all of our heart, mind, and soul, and loving our neighbors as ourselves, is holding them accountable for their violation of His Commandments, the Law, each and every time we see or hear it, just like He did. We all should also be eating clean, just as He did too. He had Noah load both clean and unclean animals into the Ark to point it out. 660 degrees Celcius is the temperature needed to kill all parasites. A wood fire is the only cooking method that can do that, which is why we're not to boil either. It can reach upwards of 1100 degrees Celsius. Fasting also kills all parasites. He showed us the way.
He said He was hated before we would be too. I'm hated by everyone that knows me. They're lawless, I am not, and I point it out in every person I interact with, family included. Our stripes of suffering too. Are you currently hated by everyone in your life too? If not, it should concern you. If you do not correct all Law breakers, you are then in agreement with them, and a coward too.
Anyone without His behavior, will go to tribulation and does not have the Spirit of Truth in them. Many were called, but few were chosen. Don't go to the left, or to the right. Only Him. Quit leading yourselves and let Him, like He told us. He'll give due meat in it's season. Jacob was the faithful servant, and the tribe of Judah. These are Jacob's troubles inbound right now in the world. Those that are truly obedient will receive their blessings, just as Jacob did for being a true servant. Have you diligently studied all there is to know about Jacob, since this time now is Jacob's troubles?
If not, that should concern you.
Yeshua said He would make Himself known to each of us personnelly, once we truly believed and are obedient. He made Himself know to me. His personal touch.
Are you able to definitively say that He's revealed Himself to you too? If not, that should concern you. Isn't upholding His Law and trying to find and warn His lost sheep our top priority?
Or, is looking at calandars with months named after Roman gods each day, and just warning that He's about to return?
All Law breakers and those not fully circumcised from life will go to tribulation. Quit thanking Him for your unclean food that you eat daily. He told you not to. It's His creation to say, not yours. It's not doing as He did. Eating clean proves you've read His words and that you've been taught by the Holy Spirit.
He warned all of us, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."
That should concern you too.
His Covenant, the Law, is our marriage license with Him.
Out of His Laws and ways is divorced.
Only the 144000 is the first fruits, the chosen.
And only the truly ignorant of Truth, that have never heard it correctly, but we're seeking it, will go to the wilderness to be cared for during Jacob's troubles.
All others have heard the Truth at some point and chose to reject it, and never searched any matters out, will go to tribulation to be refined and corrected. Too little, too late.

Your right, he wouldn't want us to spread the word if he was being selective ❤
Amen, praise God! I'm so glad I got out of Calvinism as well, after having been deeply into it. Now I would encourage you to keep growing in your understanding, using a KJB only & learn how to rightly divide Scripture as we are instructed in 2 Tim.2:15 KJB. This is KEY to understanding the Scriptures. We must separate instruction for Israel under law & covenant (faith + works & gospel of the kingdom instruction given to us in the body of Christ ( under faith alone & gospel of grace) who will occupy the heavenly realm (not the promised land on earth). Because you are using the Bible wrong a little, too. For instance, we in the BOC don't have to confess with our mouth to be saved, as you even said, salvation today is by believing alone. Leave it at that. The Bible verse about confess with the mouth is actually talking about Israel's kingdom program. Paul is talking about Israel's program in Romans 9,10 & 11. True grace, true peace! Pauline Mid-Acts Dispensational Bible study.💝🎯
Amen so simple and saves so much confusion.
Great video! When you started with "sovreign" I yelled yes! The labeling and "shocked and appalled" looks when they give you the accusation "you don't beleive God is sovreign?!". Sad and frustrating.
Hi Alana. I trust that you and your family are doing well.
I live in South Africa and Calvinism is huge over here, because of influential churches such as the Dutch Reformed Church. I grew up Calvinist and only realized it later in life. Growing up I could never understand why the church condoned Apartheid and only later realized that it was partly due to the huge impact of Calvinism, where white people thought that they were part of God's elect and not the black or colored people. It is obvious and utter nonsense, since all people, irrespective of skin color, are made in the image of God, but this basic truth is something that I never heard in church.
Anyway, I enjoy your videos. If you don't mind, I include this link - ruclips.net/video/aCrkyEVPgWY/видео.html - which is a sermon on the absurdity of Calvinism, brilliantly illustrated through a simple, yet powerful story. Perhaps you have already seen it.
Thanks & keep well.
Wow so sad. I will definitely check out the video thank you, and I’m glad you are out of Calvinism.?🙏🏼❤️
@@AlanaL3 It's a pleasure. And yes, thankfully I am out of Calvinism. It has been quite a journey over the last couple of years, which involved a lot of reading, contemplating, Bible study, praying, frustrating discussions with fellow Calvinists, but also watching incredibly helpful videos by people such as yourself, Leighton Flowers, etc.
So, a huge big thank you to you and please keep up your good work. You have an impact on people and might not even realize it.

@@uselogic1 hmm .... It deleted my comment! RUclips evidently wants you to be sectarian and say Calvinists are racist .... I repeat: I know many Calvinists and they know/preach the gospel is for everyone regardless of skin colour
@@HannahMetcalfe-m8f Hi. Thanks for your comment and hope you are doing well.
Yes, you are right and of course not all Calvinists are racists and that was definitely not what I implied. It would be silly and obviously wrong for any person to say that.
I can only speak from my experience in South Africa and unfortunately it is a fact and part of our tarnished history that Calvinism had a great influence on the mind set of white people. The Dutch Reformed church condoned Apartheid.
Dr. D.F. Malan, who served as prime minister of South Africa from 1948 - 1954, was a Dutch Reformed Church reverend before entering politics, who had a huge impact on shaping the mind set of white people. He was one of the architects of Apartheid and was responsible for implementing apartheid laws such as The Group Areas Act as well as the Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act.
Therefor, denying Calvinism's impact on our society would be akin to denying history.
Thanks & keep well
AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN…🙏❤️😘
Fairly new Christian here...don't demons and satan believe in Christ? Are they saved? No repentance required?
Thanks for the video! :)
Agree! Language change is a key indicator of calvinism. My wife and I are also noticing language changing in worship songs on the radio, too.
I only got two minutes in and stopped because it was such poor analysis, not fair-minded, not at all engaging with the scriptures that challenge these reductionistic arguments which have been refuted since the time of Augustine (and even Paul). So, just on the first two minutes:
Of course we must believe to be saved! Every real Christian believes that, Calvinist or Arminian. The question then becomes: How do we believe? Scripture gives such strong and consistent answers to that question:
John 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.
Acts 13:48 And as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.
Luke 10:21 In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, 'I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will'.
John 3:3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.
1 Pet 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again.
Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, ("this" is speaking either of faith or of the entirety of what preceded it, which includes faith ... see any Greek commentary on that verse).
Revelation 13:8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it (the beast), everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.
Soooo many more: Romans 8-9, Ephesians 1, John 8, John 10, several Proverbs, Job 1-2, etc.
So, if your loved one is becoming a CALVINIST ... REJOICE! For, they are finally reading and believing their Bible!
Also, if it doesn't humble them to the dirt, cause them to be overwhelmed by thankfulness, see God as bigger than they ever imagined, and cause them to rely more on Him, and encourage them to pray more and evangelize more, then they're doing it wrong.

@@onlythered9191 looking at the first paragraph: do you assume Calvinists deny the significance of works as evidence of saving Grace?
Two minutes listening is not enough to do Alana justice even if you normally would agree with her. There is something of an admission in your first sentance that what has come to be called Calvinism doesn't really go back before Augustine. You would be right to think that!
Briefly:
John 6 : 44 - the drawing of the Father was to Jesus in his earthly ministry. It is not relevant after the cross and resurrection. Jesus now draws all people to himself, although they won't all of course come to him. The Holy Spirit since Pentecost now convicts of sin, and specifically the sin of not believing in Jesus.
Acts 13 : 48 - beware of reading Calvinism into the text as though it read _And as many as were appointed by God before the foundation of the world to eternal life believed._ And compare it with Acts 13 : 46 which is the contrast with those who rejected the message. They judged themselves unworthy of eternal life, there is nothing in the text to indicate this was foreordained.
Eph 2 : 8 You are right that neither faith nor grace are the antecedent of gift. Faith is not the gift, either this refers to salvation as being the gift or the whole package of salvation, being dependent on grace accessed by faith. Too many Calvinists talk as though faith itself is the gift of God here.

These are Jacob's troubles inbound right now in the world. Those that are truly obedient will receive their blessings, just as Jacob did for being a true servant. Have you diligently studied all there is to know about Jacob, since this time now is Jacob's troubles?
If not, that should concern you.
Yeshua said He would make Himself known to each of us personnelly, once we truly believed and are obedient. He made Himself know to me. His personal touch.
Are you able to definitively say that He's revealed Himself to you too? If not, that should concern you. Isn't upholding His Law and trying to find and warn His lost sheep our top priority?
Or, is looking at calandars with months named after Roman gods each day, and just warning that He's about to return?
All Law breakers and those not fully circumcised from life will go to tribulation. Quit thanking Him for your unclean food that you eat daily. He told you not to. It's His creation to say, not yours. It's not doing as He did. Eating clean proves you've read His words and that you've been taught by the Holy Spirit.
He warned all of us, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."
That should concern you too.
His Covenant, the Law, is our marriage license with Him.
Out of His Laws and ways is divorced.
Only the 144000 is the first fruits, the chosen.
And only the truly ignorant of Truth, that have never heard it correctly, but we're seeking it, will go to the wilderness to be cared for during Jacob's troubles.
All others have heard the Truth at some point and chose to reject it, and never searched any matters out, will go to tribulation to be refined and corrected. Too little, too late.
The Gopher wood that Noah used to build the Ark is only native to Southern Georgia and Northern Florida. Gophers are only native to North and South Americs. The great Bald Eagle is only native to North America. And the Amazon River is the largest with the greatest water discharge flow on Earth. His Creation shows the answers too, not just His words.
Things are not what you believe them to be. Most were deceived.
Alana, the words you spoke are exactly how my daughter sounds- it all started over 5 years ago, and because I wasn’t familiar with Calvinism, I didn’t understand at first- but yes, the red flags did go up for me eventually- after several months of that-when I realized what they truly believed😢 I’m still praying God wakes them up, in Jesus name Anen‼️
Your daughter is a christian....or do you believe that calvinists are not christians. If that is what you believe, then I think you need to really step back and consider what that means. Sorry your daughter holds to some thinking that you don't, but praise God she is saved. May God bless her, and you.
@@sevencrickets9258 Calvinism is ANOTHER GOSPEL
GALATIANS 1:8 is how we should treat it!!
@@johndisalvo6283 Interesting you think that. What is the gospel?
Try to understand Calvinism before being upset about your daughter. You should be happy she’s taking her faith seriously! Calvinists and non-Calvinists are Christian. Please don’t be divisive of the brethren… God hates that. I used to come from a church that hated Calvinism. My pastor even said that Calvinism is evil. But then I started studying and questioning, and I found out Calvinism is biblical and it is loving. People just have a lot of misconceptions about it.
@@gigahorse1475much of Calvinism is not biblical.
Faith without works is dead is telling you to do it, not only say it. Faith also means obedience always, no matter what happens. Picking up your cross is telling you to carry the weight of the whole cross, all burdens that come with professing truth, once truth is revealed to you by the Holy Spirit. Meaning, give your whole life up, all of it, not just a portion of it, or what you selectively chose to partially do without.
The Covenant, the Law, the 10 Commandments must be adhered to. Both physically and spiritually. We were told that if we love Him follow His Commandments and walk exactly like He did. If you still don't know and aren't positive that His Sabbath begins at sun up on each 7th day, like we've been told in scriptures, that should concern you. "Seek and you shall find."
If you're not finding, you're not seeking, which is lack of "doing" on your part. Faith is dead without the doing.
Loving Him with all of our heart, mind, and soul, and loving our neighbors as ourselves, is holding them accountable for their violation of His Commandments, the Law, each and every time we see or hear it, just like He did. We all should also be eating clean, just as He did too. He had Noah load both clean and unclean animals into the Ark to point it out. 660 degrees Celcius is the temperature needed to kill all parasites. A wood fire is the only cooking method that can do that, which is why we're not to boil either. It can reach upwards of 1100 degrees Celsius. Fasting also kills all parasites. He showed us the way.
He said He was hated before we would be too. I'm hated by everyone that knows me. They're lawless, I am not, and I point it out in every person I interact with, family included. Our stripes of suffering too. Are you currently hated by everyone in your life too? If not, it should concern you. If you do not correct all Law breakers, you are then in agreement with them, and a coward too.

Great video. Thank you so much!! Tulip theology is so deceptive
Yes, amen!
“ Sovereign”was too good 😂. Great video. Very informative ❤
🎉😂 love it😊
I was saved into a staunch Wesleyan Arminian church. No one taught me the doctrines of grace, I found them myself and embraced them wholeheartedly 😊.
I believe in a gracious God, too, that grants everlasting life to everyone who believes in Jesus.
Not one randomly picking some and forcing his grace and love on them while refusing to give it to the rest of us.
\\ No one taught me the doctrines of grace, I found them myself and embraced them wholeheartedly \\
You’re wrong. At sometime, you heard or read about the “so called” doctrines of grace.
@@an_nie_dyc1386 Nice strawman you have there. You keep using that word random, as if any calvinist believes anything God does is random.
@ if there are no conditions what else is it? Or are the elect better than the non-elect?
@@an_nie_dyc1386 God does exactly as he desires for his own glory. He fulfills his will. It is not random. Random implies without purpose, which is silly. This is God we are talking about.
You can’t get to know Jesus with John Calvin in the way. Every sermon, at a former church, focused on reformed church history, Calvinism, and somehow forgot to mention the Gospel. Many Calvinists fail in the Great Commission. 😢
Perhaps a follow up video on ELECTION. ❤
What a failure to perceive that God must necessarily be at the back of it all. Even if you grant free will faith as true, God must be behind it since we did not choose to be who we are, out of which nature we either choose or dont choose God. As long as God is all-knowing, then He necessarilly KNOWLINGLY initiated this universe KNOWING the kind of person you would be and whether or not you would seek Him. Unlike this woman, at least the open theists have realized this, which is why they have denied omniscience. You have not even come a step in this discussion until you have recognized this basic issue.
They want to be molinists without taking the time to actually dig into the philosophy.....but once you dig into it, you realize that molinism is just calvinism one step removed. As you say, God still knowingly initiated this universe, and he knew every bit of how it plays out, and he chose to make it so. If God does indeed know us personally, before the foundation of the earth, there are some serious realities that have to be dealt with. Gone are the days where we have no idea how babies are conceived. One specific egg, and one specific sperm, each with completely unique DNA that makes the completely unique human. God must know every little detail for any of us to exist specifically. So you can have your free will, or you can have God who is true to his word....but not both.
Genesis 27:27 is the "kiss" of Jacob to his Father Isaac.
His clothes "smelled" like the fields of"earth."
May God give you the "dew" of Heaven, Isaac said to his son Jacob.
It's his blessing.
An abundance of grain and new wine Isaac said.
Zachariah 8:12 says the seed will prosper, the vine will give fruit, the ground will give her increase, and the heavens shall give their "dew."
Psalms 110:3 says
Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the "dew" of thy youth.
Genesis 27:28 says
Therefore God give thee of the "dew" of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine.
Haggai 1:10 says
Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from "dew."
There are many, many more verses too.
The dew is the wine, the oil, the fragrent
Incense, the fire, the smoke, the flame, the clouds, the rain and "mist".
The "dew" is on our wool to protect us because we are his sheep
He told us.
All scenarios need a form of water, moisture which is the "dew" or "mist" from the mountains of Heaven as we were told.
The Mountain "Dew" it says.
Christ went up to the Mountain to pray to the Father.
Moses went up the Mountain to receive the Law.
God chose "green" signet rings to hold the poles of the Ark.
That color and stone represents His creation. God's "green" earth.
The Ark was in water with clouds and "mist" above protected during the flood.
The light spectrum has "green" in the middle which is visible to all of us.
There are 7 primary colors, "green" is in the middle, representing our Father is in our midst and in the center of what He created.
It's also just the like the 7 candlesticks that sit inside His lampstand.
He is the center of every rainbow, "green".
The aurora borielous is the same signet "green" color too.
Satan has the lost sheep spewing the answers from their mouths ever time they talk "green", go "green", or "green" means go on some official "green" action plan websites.
Mt.Dew soda is signet "green" too.
The A3 comet that reached it max brightness on September 26th is "green" too, and still above us now.
"Dew" is also the same "green" color, but is an acronym for d.e.w., or directed energy weapon, and is in particle ("dew") form.
A laser.
More wool is about to be pulled over the lost sheep's eyes after those Chosen are gone.
"Green means go"
This will be Jacob's blessing during his time of troubles.

What a strange group of Christians who openly hate God's most painstakingly revealed attributes all to appease the emotions of their flesh. It's not all her fault though, you listeners, her taking a teaching platform is part of your judgment
Came here looking for at least one comment that is rational....Thanks Rogue! Can you imagine being in the position where you basically anathematize CH Spurgeon, Martin Lloyd Jones, JC Ryle, Johnathan Edwards, BB Warfield, and countless other wonderful men of God.
What a load of typical calvinist hatred.
Calvinists are always seeking to corrupt and waylay Christians.
@@LindsayJackel She actively hates the teaching of the reformation, and basically anathematizes them and anyone who agrees with them. She is full of hate. Calvinists brought about the end of Roman corruption that was subverting Christians. Are you OK? Perhaps you should go get your head checked out.
Yes, and more people need to call her out for taking that teaching platform.
@@sevencrickets9258 You defence of Calvinism here is very man centered!
Awesome and much needed.
✌🏼
Another one I'd add is "they're excessively arrogant and smug."
Calvinists, for all their talk about "giving all credit to God," love to credit and uplift themselves above all else.
I swear, Calvinists sound as arrogant, if not more, than any Reddit atheist.
I wish I knew then what I know now. Sadly I have loved ones who are in too deep.
Could I please take you to Thanksgiving dinner at my daughter’s house. Her father in law has become a die hard Calvinist. I get so anxious around him.
Every Christian denomination is riddled with error. Christianity, if you look at its historical roots is pagan. It was created by Constantine as he saw that the people of “The Way” only had one God and concluded that people were much easier to manipulate this way. And so the abominable catholic church was formed, along with Christianity. They keep pagan holidays, despite God detesting the ways of pagan worship and ignore Gods appointed feasts. They remain in the world and practice lawlessness; cherishing grace and shunning obedience- calling it “works”. Who were the 2 churches in Revelation who had the Lords approval? I don’t think they are a denomination. They are probably those who have separated themselves from religion altogether and worship in Spirit and truth.
