Calvinism

Calvinism Calvinism is a belief in that man is totally depraved, there is an unconditional election, only limited atonement, God’s grace is irresistible, and belief in the perseverance of the saints. Although some of these beliefs maybe true somewhat, they are for the most part against the teachings of God found in the Bible. This paper will help show you what I have found to be true according to the Bible as to what Calvinism teaches. The idea of total depravity in the Calvinistic view is that man in his natural state is in capable or unable to do anything to please or gain merit before God. In other words, man’s will would never choose God’s will for his/her life. I believe that God has given us a free will to choose what we want. We can either choose God or deny God; the decision is up to us. I also believe that God will bring things into our lives to bring us to a place of repentance, but like I just said the decision is up to us. The idea of unconditional election in the Calvinistic view is that a man obtains salvation because God began a process by choosing him without calvinistic, god, saved, man, view, person, idea, grace, free, bible, believe, world, sin, salvation, god’s, christ, accept, teaches, place, perseverance, irresistible, fall, election, died, decision, choose, bring, back, unconditional, ultimately, true, totally, things, states, sins, sense
