    R C Sproul is absolutely right! God is SOVEREIGN! HIS ways are not our ways, and HIS thoughts are NOT our thoughts! I'm ecstatic in my spiritual inner man that God chose me! Those whom the Lord has not elected are not even aware of this, for they are lost and walking in darkness! Thank You, my dear Lord and Savior! Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven! Thank You for your grace and mercy!

      And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
      Revelation 22 17
      Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
      John 5 39 and 40
      Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
      John 12 31 and 32
      These verses fly in the face of the Calvinists. Jesus said any who will may come, John 3:16…for GOD so loved the WORLD. Yes, God draws us, but we can choose to accept or reject. Even Moses said to Israel “I set before you life and death, blessing and curses” he told them to CHOOSE. Joshua said something similar. Clearly God has given us a free will. I also I believe God sovereign.

    If God is sovereign in the way Sproul and all Calvinist believe, then its impossible to actually sin. Because if God predetermined all things and we cant go against his sovereign will, then we can do nothing but be obedient to his will. Therefore sin does not exist for Sproul. We are all simply being perfectly obedient to the will of God. And for calvinist God will send his perfectly obedient creatures to hell because doing so "brings him glory."
    Im thankful the one true God is nothing like that.

    God doesn't decide who goes where. Neither does Lucifer. When we enter the spirit world, we ourselves decide because only then do we know if our lives were centered on God and love, or not. The more we sinned, the further away from heaven we go.

      “The more we sinned, the further away from heaven we go” where is that in the Bible. We are all born into this world spiritually dead to God. Can’t get any further from heaven than that. There is nothing in you or me that would ever cause us to turn to Him. If Christ does not intervene we all go to hell. Once again read your Bible.

    I would never serve a God who’s picking and choosing who to save. I am beyond sick and tired of people twisting the Word of God. Jesus died for everyone and wants everyone to be saved. Unfortunately, not everyone believes. God chose those He knew would believe. This ungodly teaching is going to cost a lot of people to lose their souls.

    "The counsel of His own Will."
    Or, "Himself". He uses His own self in predestining.
    What is His counsel?
    "Who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been His counsellor?"
    The elect are a mystery only known by God and the elect.
    And the only thing we know about the elect is that every Jew is elect (Romans 11:26). Every Gentile, I think not. (So, yes, Judas is in Heaven). I wish God was a universalist but Scripture does not say this. ("Free will" is heresy. Romans chapters 8 and 9).

      @@ellenmcnerney1031 you are taking this out of context as all calvinists do. Paul makes it absolutely clear that everyone has a free will choice.
      Romans ten says everyone who confesses and believes will be saved. Over and over again God makes it clear that the offer is open to everyone.
      both the Eunic and the Phillippian jailor and his family made a free will choice, as did everyone Paul talked to who got saved. "by grace through faith"
      That is also what Martin Luthor taught as well. you strain a knat and swollow a camel in an effort to refuse the truth. Basically lots of Calvinists go to hellfire because they have head knowledge about God, but in pride refuse to accept Jesus shed blood to forgive their sins...
