Some Calvinists say that God controls everything right down to the tiniest particle that makes up the atoms in a dust mote. This notion makes everything and everyone special, because God is intimately manipulating all things great and small in His creation. This means that every human being is special in God’s ultimate plan and purpose. It also means that God causes…
To make all men see….. Ephesians 3:9
To make all men see….. Ephesians 3:9

If Genesis 1:1 says God created the heaven, and Genesis 1:2 says the heavens were finished, when was that first heaven created? God has a purpose and plan for the heavens and a purpose and plan for the earth, that they all end up in Christ. He has been revealing his plan for the earth since Genesis 1:2. His plan for the…
Some proponents of Calvinism teach that God caused Pilate and Israel to crucify Christ. That they really had no choice or free will in the matter. Taking this stance leads them to believe that God controls everything, down to the dust motes floating in the air. If this is true, God committed the greatest sin in all of human history. Did Israel…
The gap theory, the idea that there was an age between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 is much disputed among Christians. It is even disputed in our local church. This is the first of two messages discussing whether there was an age between the original creation when Lucifer fell, or whether that is unsound. https://www.youtube.com/@GraceAliveMinistries https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586207050239
Many times when someone barely misses a tragedy, they will attribute their fortune to God. One example of this is when an untied bootlace saved the life of Engelbert Humperdink during the second world war. He said that God must have been looking out for him. But what about the guys who died? Was God not looking out for them? The idea…
Theology give us a plethora of titles for God’s Will. They say He has a permissive will, a revealed will, a hidden will, a directive will, an over-ruling will, and others. Theology teaches that God has a specific will for each person. Who to marry, what job to have, where to live, and on and on. All of this is extra-Biblical nonsense.…
How many wills does God have? Permissive, Providential, Directive, Over-ruling, maybe even Random? These are made up to prove another made-up doctrine: God’s Sovereignty. Randomness and vanity rule the world today because we l ive in a sin-cursed world. The idea that God causes everything has its’ roots in paganism.https://www.gracealive.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/random.png The events of 9/11 illustrate the randomness of the curse. Time and…
Most Protestants will proclaim that they believe in ‘scripture alone, but most believers don’t apply this to their lives. And most will add or take away a little here and there. Calvinists, who loudly proclaim: “Scripture Alone!,” not only don’t practice it, but actually teach many things outside of scripture. For example, they will tell you that God has to do something…
Almost all modern Bibles, including many King James Bibles, change the word “throughly” to “thoroughly” because, they say, it means the same thing. Throughly is just another archaic word that is no longer used, so they change it to thoroughly. But ‘thoroughly’ is also used in the King James Bible, so it is apparent that they deliberately chose to use throughly when…
To the glory of God alone. Roman Catholic doctrine always seems to include the individual along with what God has done. When looking at who receives glory, along with God, they include Mary, saints and angels. Calvinism, on the other hand, take it to the opposite extreme. They say that God chose you first, because if you had the ability to believe…
