to be or not to be again.....

God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation.

John Calvin

This sounds brutal. God decided beforehand to save some and punish others?! REALLY?!
NO WAY!!!!!! That can't be GOD!!!!! The MERCIFUL, FORGIVING, LOVING GOD..... NO this John Calvin is insane......Not God as how I see Him. Wrong wrong wrong.


If one believes that John Calvin is wrong, well either you are blind or you are not understanding the quote as it reads.
God decided before.....
1. He wants us
2. He wants us to choose freely Him or not
3. there are consequences for our choices
TOP REASON over point 1...... the world doesn't revolve around US..... we were made by Him for Him.


So , take that into account and yes, God preordained (Decide or determine (an outcome or course of action) beforehand.) to save those who choose Him and punish those who don't......
This is no fairy tale story where all is focused on the good guy winning and parties and smiles.

God is not made for us, but us for Him. the question is, can we accept that? Do we, in our watered down morals and moral country, all about acceptance and "everything is ok man" ..... Do we believe these things, there is Him or not Him...... and it is not all ok...... this is hard truth.... it hurts and destroys.... will it destroy our pride and save our souls or our souls and save our pride? 

I can't figure out some great saying that sums it up so i just stop here, Dan. Hope you get the point. now what do you choose.......
