The signs that the biblical end-times are now
While we are not to know the exact day of Christ’s second coming, the Bible tells us a lot about the end-times of this world, culminating in Armageddon and the return of Christ the Messiah. And that we are meant to recognize its approach. When we see certain things happening today, we should recognize that the end is near.

Middle-east post 18
And you, reader, what will you do if these are the final years before Armageddon? If the Church departs this earth, where will you find salvation then? Now is the time for seeking salvation, for very soon it may well be too late to escape eternal condemnation.

Middle-east post 17
A list of some world actions suggested by prophecy today including the coming war in the Middle-east and how things may eventuate.

Middle-east post 16
Today it is necessary for the world leaders in general, like Egypt’s pharaoh, to stand in opposition to Israel so that these world leaders may eventually concede victory to God and His people. It is necessary that world leaders generally be servants of satan in order that God may, through conflict, win title to Israel and to the world. And it is necessary for God to reclaim title to His people Israel and His world before handing it to Christ the Messiah for His millennial reign of peace and prosperity following Armageddon.

Middle-east post 15
Satan has spent many centuries gaining de facto title to the world via his servants. Today satan holds a lot of title in our world. God has set things up in the world that will cause satan to have to defend his title through conflict. We can see how politics have become divisive issues lately, with strong feelings for and against leaders and such. Satan will be desperate to retain Palestine, Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, necessary for the control of God’s people Israel. Therefore this is where the conflict will be centred. Satan’s servants are being pressured to fight for control of Israel especially Jerusalem.

Middle-east post 14
It must be noted carefully that the God of the Bible (and of His people Israel) is not the God of any other religion that claims his name as their God. In particular, the God of Islam is not the God of the Bible. Regardless of what people claim, the god Allah is not the God of the Bible. They are 2 separate and distinct beings. Christianity’s God is a God of love, one who died in the place of sinful man so that man could escape the righteous judgement for his sin. There is no similar record of such teachings in Islam. Instead, Islam is a religion of works, where one must work to obtain the pleasure of his God.

Middle-east post 13
Keeping in mind Joel’s picture of the end-times “day of the Lord”, we can see that much world decision-making will not be of man but according to God’s sovereign will. Israel’s enemies will be drawn by hooks in their jaws (Ezekiel 38:4) to go to battle and invade Israel; they will not have a choice at all; they won’t be able to choose to not invade Israel. Israel will win the victory while her enemies will be destroyed by God’s will. Not one decision of man can possibly change what God has planned for the final years of this world as we know it today.

Middle-east post 12
Joel gives us an interesting biblical aspect of these end-times. He uses the term “day of the Lord” 5 times in just 3 chapters. The term always applies to times when God overrules man’s dominion in order to establish His sovereign will. In these last days God is already overruling man in order to set up His victory for His people Israel. Like Egypt’s pharaoh, who was defeated in a contest with Moses, God will use the conflict He sets up in order to regain title to His people and His world. Satan and his servants cannot prevent God winning this victory, and satan and his servants losing!

Middle-east post 11
If these are the end-times of the world as we know it, then they started on 7th Oct 2023 when Gaza terrorists invaded Israel, killing, maiming, torturing, raping around 1200 people, most of whom were unarmed civilians. Since then much of the world has sided with Israel’s enemies. In particular Islam has rejoiced at Israel’s hurting. The Islamic Council of Victoria president Adel Salman even stated that the terrorism of 7th Oct was a legitimate act of resistance! In the coming 7-year Tribulation people will have to decide whether they side with Israel (the sheep) or oppose Israel (the goats).

Middle-east post 10
In this final seven years before Armageddon, the world will be full of war, natural disasters, famine and death. Israel would even make a pact with the devil if he rescued them from certain destruction, especially if he promised to rebuild their Temple on Temple Mount; this assumes other buildings on Temple Mount may be destroyed first. He permits Israel to set up sacrifices by their Law, but stops these sacrifices when he sits in the temple himself to be worshipped. These final seven years before Christ returns will be filled with war, violence and death climaxing in Armageddon.

Middle-east post 09
Why would the antichrist want to save Israel, especially if he is empowered by satan? Wouldn’t satan actually hate Israel as his enemy? The simple answer is Yes! However, we have to look at what satan really wants above all. Yes, satan wants dominion over the earth, but even more than that, he wants to be as God. That means being worshipped by God’s people Israel. He will desire that they see him as saviour when he defeats Israel’s enemies. And in the middle of that final seven years he will sit in the rebuilt Temple to be worshipped by Israel who will instead go into hiding.

Middle-east post 08
The antichrist who will come to Israel’s aid, after signing a defence pact with them, will be a ruler of the revived Roman empire: today that means much of Europe, all the lands which the ancient Roman Empire ruled over. The antichrist will be revealed after the Church is taken away to heaven (which allows Israel to return to being God’s ministry people once again). He will lead European forces against Israel’s enemies because that’s what the Bible has prophesied. Europe is already building forces to counter a very real Russian threat.

Middle-east post 07
The hatred that many Palestinians have for Israel is more than them just taking some of Palestine to live in. It is the religion that unites these peoples opposed to Israel: Islam. Islamic people (especially of Palestine and Iran) can often be violently opposed to Israel, seeking to establish Islam alone in Palestine, simply because Israel is not their religion. There was now a serious threat to their apparent monopoly of religion (Islam); they saw Israel’s existence as most difficult because of their religion. And the Palestinians had desired that Palestine would be Islamic from the river to the sea!

Middle-east post 06
Would Russia really get involved in a war against Israel? Note that in around 1972 Russia’s KGB initiated a covert campaign (Operation SIG) designed to incite hatred against Israel and USA particularly within the Islamic world. It involved extensive propaganda efforts and the use of Arab groups as proxies to carry out attacks and spread disinformation (note Iran!). Would Turkey actually join Iran in declaring war against Israel? Interestingly, Times of Israel reported on 25/06/2026 that Trump suggested this could be so.

Middle-east post 05
When Israel is facing an invasion-annihilation, it will not be Trump or USA that comes to her rescue, but instead the antichrist leading a European army. Thus Israel will have to break away from USA before the full-scale invasion occurs. In fact, it is already happening with USA trying to make Israel’s decisions for her. Iran also has no intention of proper negotiations. Instead they will use any ceasefire for hudna: a strategic ceasefire in order to regroup and prepare for further warfare. And Trump appears to be letting them have their hudna!

Middle-east post 04
Prophecy strongly suggests that Iran, Russia, Turkey and others will attack Israel very soon now. The Ezekiel 38 prophecy suggests nuclear weapons will be used in this conflict, after which the antichrist (leading a European army) attacks and wipes out Israel’s enemies after signing a defence pact with Israel. God will also send violent judgement upon the nations who sent armies to invade Israel. It was the Roman empire that destroyed Jerusalem in 70AD and therefore this leader will be from that same empire. known as the revived Roman empire (understood to be Europe today) see Daniel 9:26-27.

Middle-east post 03
Ezekiel prophesies that the end-times will begin with Israel returning as an independent nation after so many years being scattered by God among the nations (Ezekiel Ch.37). This is followed by a prophecy that Israel’s enemies would be dragged into war with Israel by God with hooks in their jaws (Ezekiel 38:4). These enemies of Israel would declare war on Israel because God makes them do so; it will be God’s decision when and how they do this. Israel’s enemies (including Persia (Iran), Russia, Turkey, plus others) will invade Israel where they will be utterly destroyed.

Middle-east post 02
Israel was granted her land (Canaan) by God in an everlasting covenant with Abraham around 4,000 years ago. The 1917 Balfour Declaration established Israel’s claim to her ancient lands. In 1948 Israel took a small portion of her land by force. After the terrorists of Gaza and Southern Lebanon attacked Israel on 7th Oct 2023, a group of nations (including Russia, Turkey, Persia [Iran], Libya and Ethiopia) will combine to invade Israel (Ezekiel 38), not because they want to but because God will make them do so.

Middle-east post 01
Israel today is under attack today by anti-God forces. These forces are controlled by satan who hates the true God with great intensity. Israel has always been God’s chosen nation, promised by an everlasting covenant between God and Abraham (Genesis 17:1-8). This guarantees their eternal existence in the face of all those who would seek to destroy them. The people of satan, the avowed enemy of God and Israel, are planning to destroy Israel before she reaches the end of her final seven years. Jeremiah called this the time of Jacob’s trouble, a time of tribulation and affliction far worse that Israel has ever experienced before (Matthew 24:21). All those who oppose Israel will be destroyed and Israel will go into Christ’s millennial reign of peace under the rule of their Messiah.

Everyone resembles the God he worships
You can tell what a person’s God is like by observing the person himself. It is very true that we will show forth the praises of the one we worship, particularly in living our lives in imitation of that one. The “god” that you worship will inevitably influence your mode of living, your behaviour. To know a person’s God is like, just look at the person who worships that God!

Some facts about Israel in the end-times
The Temple will be rebuilt on Temple Mount, and the antichrist, after making a covenant with Israel, will sit there demanding to be worshipped as God. The antichrist. who will be revealed only after the Church is Raptured to heaven, will finally gather a huge army to oppose (and lose to) Israel in Jerusalem in a battle called Armageddon.

The coming antichrist
While Israel will be victorious to the end (in spite of the greatest tribulation they will ever experience), the biggest enemy of Israel in these coming end-times will be the antichrist. The antichrist will be satan’s man in Israel’s final 7-year period before Christ their Messiah returns to save them at Armageddon. Effectively, the antichrist will be indwelt by satan, who is the ruler of all that is evil in this world.

Israel’s coming tribulation
While it is clear that Israel will continue until the end, it is also clear that this will be accompanied by severe tribulation and great oppression. Israel must first endure their greatest affliction (wars and seeming total destruction) before they will repent and turn back to God, after which Israel will be granted everlasting righteousness.

God’s people Israel and their end-times victory
In the Bible, the end-times refers to those days when God will draw His people Israel back to Himself, causing them to be redeemed according to His promise to them in Daniel 9:24. No matter what it looks like, Israel will remain God’s covenanted people, and they will be the ones left standing when all her enemies have been destroyed.

Israel cannot and will not lose
God promised Abraham that he would be the beginning of a great nation (that is, Israel). God would bless all those who blessed Israel, and would curse all those who cursed Israel. This is known as the Abrahamic Covenant. This covenant has never been revoked and therefore still applies today. To curse Israel is to draw God’s curse upon one’s self, and many are doing just that today. Israel is fighting an intense religious warfare opposed to their very existence. But God will overcome all their enemies and establish Israel as His people for ever.

Ezekiel’s tribulation and Armageddon timeline
Ezekiel has a lot to say when it comes to the end-times of this world as we know it. If Ezekiel’s prophesied war of Chs 38 & 39 occurs, then the world as we know it may have little more than 7 years to run before Armageddon heralds the second coming of Christ the Messiah to rule the earth. And the tribulation of the 7 years leading up to Armageddon will be more extreme than any period in history before it. That 7 years will have disasters aplenty – judgments from God – that will wipe out huge numbers of mankind, plus destroy much of the world as we know it today.

Freemason sin in the family
This post will explain how to deal with the fall-out from any form of satanism in your immediate ancestry. In particular, I look at how to cope with the evil consequences of freemasonry on your family. Freemasonry is a satanic evil that continues to bind so many families under the curse that God placed upon such worship. If you as a Christian can understand the situation that freemasons covenant on behalf of their families, then you’ll better understand how to deal with its evil.

Four-point calvinists believe in a universal salvation for all mankind
Calvinists who believe that Jesus died for the sins of all mankind without exception actually believe in a universal salvation for all mankind, because:
(a) Four-point calvinists do not believe in limited atonement; they believe that Jesus died for all mankind without exception.
and (b) calvinism teaches that no-one whose sins have been paid for will ever be sent to hell to pay for their sins.
Therefore (c) if the atonement is for all mankind, then no-one will ever go to calvinist hell; they will all go to calvinist heaven.

Review of Living Springs Baptist Church, Rockbank, Victoria
Once upon a time, Living Springs Baptist Church used to be a conservative biblical church in the western suburbs of Melbourne. That now seems to be a long way in the past. It was bad enough that over the years it should develop an unhealthy preference for Hillsong-type music over standard godly music. (Hillsong is a huge music-producing industry that is seemingly totally focussed upon (even obsessed with) making money rather than making and building Christians. But when Living Springs permitted reform belief (calvinism) (via local calvinist church: GraceWest Bible Church) to permeate its beliefs, it crossed that line in the sand that divided Christian from non-Christian.

The Rapture
With this document I will demonstrate that the only logical time for the Rapture is at the start of a seven-year tribulation, in order to remove the Church so that Israel can return to its timeline (according to Daniel 9:24-27) to complete their final seven-year ministry for God.

Are you a real Christian or just a fake?
Yes, you might have prayed the sinners’ prayer, but did you mean it, or was it just taking out eternal life insurance for when you die? Are you serving God, or are you continuing to serve the world as you have in the past? Many who call themselves Christians are just fakes, pretending to be saved but loving the world with all their hearts.

“rainbowtoken.com” (the false cult of “The Church of Almighty God”)
Beware of the lies and deceptions of this secretive chinese satanic cult, led by a woman who calls herself “God” who has returned in the flesh. She is a liar, deceiving her gullible followers.

Review of GraceWest Bible Church, Albion
This is a “reformed” church, and reformed doctrine has certain conflicting teachings built into it. If you attend this church or one with similar beliefs, or are considering doing so, then please think very carefully for yourself about the following. Your eternal future (heaven or hell) will depend upon how you deal with these issues.

Calvinism teaches that good is evil, and evil is good!
According to Calvin’s hero and “mentor”, Augustine, evil is good and what is good is always evil. Therefore, Calvinists must believe that “bad” is simply “an evil good”, that evil is good and good is evil! In simple terms, this is Gnostic theology, where it is the obtaining of total knowledge (both good and evil) that saves you. Gnostic theology was also the basis for the sin of Adam and Eve.

The real truth about the Doctrines of Grace
Calvinists love to declare their beliefs as the doctrines of grace. The new calvinist of today is required to sin in order to experience God’s grace. New calvinism grants the elect a licence to sin in order to keep the money filling the offering plates.

How to be a good calvinist without being a Christian!
You see, for the first 19 years of my life I thought I was saved, and everyone around me at my calvinist church declared the same. In fact, even for a while after I was saved, I still considered the calvinist Presbyterian church to be Christian.

Calvinists lack good debating skills.
Calvinist comments to this website are, in general, irrational and disorganised. Very few would be able to present an acceptable debate. They are either incapable of intelligent rational discussion, or pretending to be so.

The Westminster Confession – a scholarly critique
After some serious study of that belief statement much beloved and much quoted of calvinists – the Westminster Confession – I have concluded that it is quite contradictory and encourages confused thinking. This is to be expected, seeing as it is based upon those likewise contradictory and confused teachings of Calvin.

Calvinists blame the internet for comments that oppose them
Calvinists blame the internet for much of the opposition they get from biblical Christians. The fact is that calvinists do not want you to think for yourself! They want to tell you what they believe and to stifle all others who might oppose. Calvinism seeks to control people, and those who think for themselves are harder to control.

Calvinists allege that the internet has “contributed to the rise of anti-Calvinism in our church“. (This is certainly true; we who disagree with calvinism have a right to expose their heresies. It’s called “freedom of speech”!) They allege that anti-calvinists have “skewed sources that unfavorably misrepresented” calvinism. (We declare that calvinism uses skewed sources that misrepresent the Bible itself!) They blame “the intrusion of internet hotheads” for the subsequent division. (Yet, if those “hotheads” were calvinists, then they’d be declaring them to be “heroes”!)

MacArthur is Wrong
It is apparent that MacArthur, along with other calvinist “teachers”, is guilty of intending to deliberately distort the truth of the Bible and thus knowingly teaches doctrines designed to deceive. Many of his besotted followers think that he just cannot be wrong, yet wrong he is, indeed. This deception involves the misuse of alleged “scholarship” in order to confuse those who may think that MacArthur just cannot be wrong, and therefore mistakenly believe everything he says.

Calvinism is madness itself
Calvinists are either mad, stupid or simply absolutely naïve!

You see, calvinists have to agree with the following two statements:
(a) God is perfect and everything He does is perfect.
(b) All things in this world happen according to God’s sovereign will and ordination alone.
Therefore calvinists must believe that:
(a) All things in this world must be perfect, including sin and evil.
(b) Not one imperfect act may exist in a world where the calvinist God rules.
Otherwise, if they declare sin to be evil in any way, then they must accept that their God is not perfect or that his will is not the only will in the universe.

Why do calvinists believe lies?
What is it that makes calvinists think they have the truth when the Bible clearly demonstrates that they are actually believing lies? There has to be some big attraction that tempts them to want to believe, because it is certainly not biblical truth that leads to such lies. In fact, the attraction of calvinism appears to based upon a self-worth-building program.

Calvinist Interpretations
Scenario No.1
A woman has 5 children. She tells them all to eat their food. Only one child eats his food; the other four do not eat their food.

Calvinist interpretation: “The woman makes one child eat his food and makes the other four not eat their food. Because she never intended to feed them all, she only provided food for the one that she made to eat. She didn’t provide any food for the other four because she never intended feeding them in the first place, even though she told them all to eat their food.”
MacArthur says, “God did not intend to save everyone. He is God. He could have intended to save everyone. He could have saved everyone. He would have if that had been His intention. The atonement is limited.” (The Doctrine of Actual Atonement, Part 1)
Thus the woman never intended to feed them all. She is boss. She could have intended to feed them all. She could have fed them all. She would have if that had been her intention. The feeding is limited.

Calvinist cop-outs
Those of you who oppose calvinism because of its non-biblical teachings may have noticed that the moment you try to use the Bible alone (sola scriptura) to discuss issues with a calvinist, he or she usually tries to avoid open and frank discussion. So I’m proposing some of the more common ways that calvinists use to avoid having to defend their heresies. After all, most calvinists know that they will lose any debate on calvinism using the Bible alone. And fear of losing drives them to avoid the truth of the Bible alone.

The Future of the Church and Israel
One day yet in the future today’s Church’s ministry will be completed in order for Israel to take back her position as God’s chosen nation. This will happen; the only question that remains is when.

Impossible Questions for Calvinists Part 1

Impossible Questions for Calvinists Part 4
Impossible Questions for Calvinists Part 5
Impossible Questions for Calvinists Part 6
Some of you reading this may not be calvinists but instead may be reading this through curiosity, or maybe you have a problem with calvinist conflict at your church. Are they so afraid of losing that they dare not commit themselves? Surely this alone tells you the quality (or lack of it!) of their arguments when challenged to defend them from the Bible alone – sola scriptura.

The greatest missionaries are not calvinist
Why are the greatest missionaries not calvinists? The simple answer is that, like the JWs, calvinists can never know if they are truly one of the chosen ones until the end. So, also like JWs, they show great zeal for evangelism, not because it might save others, but because it might score more points with the calvinist God and better demonstrate their own salvation, that is, making sure of their election. In fact, the greatest missionaries are those who preach the true biblical gospel, something calvinists hate doing!

Calvinist connections with freemasonry
Freemasonry is an evil satanic false religion. And many calvinists are freemasons. Research reveals the link between calvinism and freemasonry.

Why are calvinists afraid to answer simple straightforward questions?
Read “Calvinists won’t answer straightforward questions”
Read “Calvinists can’t answer straightforward questions”
Read “Calvinists can’t answer any questions”

But they can say, “It’s a mystery!“
I have asked so many straightforward questions and challenged calvinists to come up with suitable biblical answers but so far only one calvinist has ever been able to be straight-forward concerning their answers.

It is indeed hard to break free from calvinism!
I have recently read an article from mycrazyfaith.blogspot.com titled Why Is It So Hard For Calvinists To Get Free From Calvinism? It seems that those who have experienced calvinism first hand are the ones who become so polarised either for or against it. Those who are full-on calvinists just can’t be told that there might be another way of seeing it all from a biblical point of view. They just can’t be wrong, ever! And, those who have seen the truth about the heresies in calvinism are like those who are seeing God’s world through completely different eyes than before.

Romans 9 condemns calvinism to rejection by sovereign God
Romans 9 is all about Israel! The context cannot be denied at all. But calvinists try to avoid this because if their God has rejected Israel after choosing them for his people, then their God can do the same to them! Being a calvinist chosen one clearly has big risks!

Why are calvinists so unbiblical, uneducated and unscholarly?
Calvinists make such a song and dance about how biblical, how educated, how scholarly they are, yet fail to tick any of those boxes in real life! I have openly attacked calvinist doctrines as heresies against the truth of the Bible, yet not one has been able to be sufficiently biblical, scholarly and educated in their disagreements with my comments.

Calvinist heresy using John 3:3
Calvinists have many times informed me that John 3:3 clearly teaches that one must be born again before one may have faith in Christ (or equivalent wording). So let’s put the calvinists to the test (according to 1 Thessalonians 5:21) to see if their teachings are biblical or not. After all, they claim sola scriptura (the Bible alone). If this is true, then they should be, of all people, outstandingly biblically correct. However, if they can be shown to be deceptive or non-scriptural, then they must be deemed to be opposed to sola scriptura (the Bible alone). On this test they will stand or fall today!

New calvinist church discipline favours  criminals over victims
I have written before concerning the unjust discipline many new calvinist churches hand out via their Biblical Counselling program. In too many situations the victim becomes labelled as the offender merely because the criminal has confessed, and been restored to fellowship by the church,often overruling the rights of the victim.

Typical calvinist behaviour
When calvinists are seriously challenged to demonstrate their truths from the Bible, like the cowards that so many bullies are, they will turn away and avoid having to be confronted by you. They may even commit acts of violence like trying to crash a website merely because they have no other way of opposing it. And they hate having to use the Bible if it means their heresies will be exposed!

Calvinisms
A repeat of “Calvinisms” below. These reveal the shocking truth concerning the calvinist doctrine of demons. A must-read for any Christian who is being challenged by calvinists to believe them because they claim to be so scriptural. Yet, why do calvinists avoid the Bible so much when challenged like this?

Beware of calvinists seeking common ground
Calvinists can only really effectively teach their lies if they have established some measure of credibility, generally through the formation of common ground areas of agreement. Their lies cannot make sense unless attached to some truth that you have already agreed to. They will then agree to that truth of yours before building their lies upon it. This is calvinist tactics at their most devious.

Spiritual warfare
Since we put our post “Calvinisms” online, we have apparently suffered a lot of efforts to crash or otherwise act violently against our site. Of course, violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, but the incompetent carrying out the equivalent of online road rage can and do still hurt others. However, Christians should not fear him who can hurt the physical body, but instead fear Him who can cast both body and soul into hell.

Is the Karl Faase gospel a rehash of the corrupt Lausanne gospel?
Research suggests that Karl Faase (of Olive Tree Media) teaches a non-biblical gospel based upon the politically-correct social false gospel of the Lausanne Movement (ecumenicalism as per the World Council of Churches). This should be checked out thoroughly before touching any of his materials, such as Jesus the Game Changer.

So who are the cowards?
In recent days this website has been hacked fairly consistently now, so far without any success. Such people never attack if they think they themselves might get hurt; they are chickens in every sense of the word. They also run and hide before they can be discovered; this demonstrates their fear of retaliation. Like cowards they fight from cover because they fear the consequences if they become known to their opposition.

Just another day at the office!
So this website seems to be attracting some attention from people who do not wish it to say such nice things about their beliefs? I say some lovely home-truths about calvinism and they want to hack my site? Well, it does confirm one thing: that some people just do not appreciate my writings. As the saying goes, violence is the last resort (or refuge) of the incompetent.

The heresies of the church today
Too many churches today prefer the poisonous teachings of heretics (such as Todd Friel, Paul Tripp and Gary Thomas) rather than feeding their congregations on good wholesome scriptural food. And too many pastors are failing their flocks due to incompetence, greed or possibly being heretics themselves.

“Calvinisms”
A quick look at some of the teachings that calvinists don’t want you to know too much about. They prefer to be seen as being acceptable to fundamentalist believers, thus hiding or covering up some of their more illogical or non-biblical teachings.

Romans 9 proves the heresy of calvinism
Calvinists will oh-so-often thrust this chapter in your face as if it is the holy grail of calvinism, the definitive answer to all objections! But, because calvinists do not believe in the Bible alone (that is, they do not believe in sola scriptura), they are forced to either have to admit their heresies, or manipulate the Bible so that it appears to support those heresies. If the people they are talking to do not have a firm grasp of the Bible and its truths, then some passages are relatively easy for them to manipulate in order to present their lies cleverly disguised as the truth. (It’s called deception, the favourite trick of satan. After all, satan is the father of lies, so why be so surprised that his servants should also practice lies and deception?)

When does the whole world mean only Christians?
Answer: When calvinists make the rules! Calvinists believe that “the whole world” in 1 John 2:2 means only the calvinist elect (those whom their God has selected to go to heaven). 1 John 2:2 – And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world. Because calvinists believe that only those chosen by their God can go to heaven, then those whom their God does not choose cannot ever go to heaven, and therefore it was pointless to die for their sins.

How may one be saved without praying?
(Unless like calvinists, you believe that God alone may choose whether or not you are saved!) Calvinists hate the sinners’ prayer, claiming that it disposes of repentance and faith, yet how may one call upon the name of the Lord to be saved without praying?

Just exactly what is the calvinist gospel?
A lot of allegedly Christian religious groups have what seems to be an on-the-ball biblical gospel. But it is how the converts to that gospel are counted or recorded that defines the actual gospel being preached. No matter what you preach to the alleged lost, it’s how you assess your results that defines your gospel!

Calvinism is incompatible with Biblical doctrine
Biblical Christians and calvinists just cannot both be right. Their doctrines are too incompatible. Biblical Christianity and calvinism cannot mix without much compromise.

Oh how calvinists twist and pervert the Bible!
Why do calvinists have to rewrite verses before they may clearly support their heresies? If the Bible cannot support their doctrines without twisting or rewriting verses, then how can their doctrines be true?

Is choosing to be saved a work of salvation? God says, “No!”
If God requires that we call upon the name of the Lord to be saved, then that’s what we must do. And if God says salvation is a gift, then there is nothing that man can do to add to or take away from the perfection of that gift.

Free will Vs Free agency? What’s the difference??
I fail to understand why so many consider calvinists to be intellectual people! Over and over I come across such inane explanations from them as they try to justify their impossible biblical interpretations. Talk about claiming sola scriptura! That’s the biggest lie on the calvinist agenda, for they cannot abide defining anything biblical from the Bible alone. And here’s yet another one! I have read many calvinists attempting to deny the free will of man, yet upholding man as a free agent. They claim that being a free agent is not the same as having free will, yet I fail to see any logical difference!

Oh, the persistent inconsistencies of calvinists! (on John 10:24-28)
How can calvinists teach that the sheep who follow Jesus in John 10:27 are His elect, when John 1:11 says that He came to His own and His own received Him not? Are His own not His sheep? Can God have His own who are not His elect? Oh my, most confusing indeed! But then, what may one expect from those inconsistent calvinists!

Evolution – hypothesis, not theory!
So, if God could create the universe, why do they deny it in favour of evolution? The answer is that they ask the wrong question. Instead of “Could God have created ….?? they instead ask “Did God create ….?” They admit that God could have created, yet say that science proves that He didn’t. But does science actually prove this to be so?

So why did I start this website? Part 4
So, summarising 3 posts of explanation so far, the reason why I started this website was to have some way of warning Christians of the dangers of calvinism. ….after finding no clear means of warning God’s people locally, we decided to broadcast our warnings to the wider community via the internet. 

So why did I start this website? Part 3
As mentioned in the previous 2 posts, I had a strong desire to protect local churches from the ravages of calvinist heresies. …the way that GraceWest had seemingly manipulated the situation in order to impose some significant influence over Living Springs appeared to be sneaky and covert. 

So why did I start this website? Part 2
So, if you read my last post, you’ll understand why I have a bit of a problem with the lies of calvinism. It’s this false teaching which is destroying the truth in our local fundamentalist biblical churches.

So why did I start this website? Part 1
What was it that prompted me to start all my researching and recording of calvinist doctrines in an effort to understand implicitly their lies and their weaknesses? It was because good local churches were being destroyed by the heresies of calvinism, and genuine Christians were being deceived by their calvinist deviousness.

Eternal security? or Can you lose your salvation? Part 3
I draw my conclusions concerning eternal security versus loss of salvation. Is it possible to feel secure in your salvation?

Eternal security? or Can you lose your salvation? Part 2
In this document I’ll look at the case for being able to lose your salvation.

Eternal security? or Can you lose your salvation? Part 1
This is a hotly-contested issue upon which many will take sides largely based upon what they have been taught to believe. Firstly I’ll look at verses and passages which support the assurance of eternal salvation.

Piper says holy God ordains unholy acts of sin
Let’s have a look at his reply to a question on whether or not God ordains sin. Unless otherwise stated, I will quote from Piper’s “Does sin have a necessary place in God’s plan for the universe”. (In other words, Piper says that God’s plan for the universe is imperfect without sin! That is, sin perfects all things? Sin puts the finishing touch on God’s creation?)

Calvinists teach that their God is the only wilful sinner in the universe!
By denying the free will of mankind, calvinists have created a monster problem that just cannot be hid under the carpet: that if the calvinist God has the only free will in the universe, then he is responsible for everything that exists, including sin and evil.

The living-dead calvinist zombies – as taught by Calvin
Calvinism has 3 groups: the living (the elect), the dead (the non-elect), and the living-dead (the living non-elect). It must be true; Calvin taught it to be so. For further information, please read on.

Is it true that only calvinists can be saved?
Well, if you were to ask a calvinist, and he were to be completely truthful, then he would have to answer, “Yes!” Christians see the lost world as their mission field; calvinists see non-calvinist “non-regenerate” “Christians” attending churches as their mission field! Christians go out into all the world to preach the gospel. Calvinists go into all the churches to preach their gospel!

Final reply to a calvinist who just won’t listen
Why don’t calvinists answer my questions? Because they avoid questions that they cannot answer scripturally. Instead, they ignore my questions and ramble on about their own proofs. They just cannot stand up to honest criticism.

Free will proves calvinist doctrine to be false
If man has a free will to choose or reject salvation (as the Bible teaches), then all calvinist doctrines fall like a house of cards.

So you think free will isn’t in the Bible?
You might think that, but where does the Bible say it? In fact, the Bible does teach free will, no matter how hard those calvinists protest otherwise!

Calvinism – the losing debating team!
Why do calvinists exhibit such poor logic and reasoning when trying to debate their doctrines?

Do calvinists ever listen to others?
Do calvinists actually read what non-calvinists write before condemning them as less spiritual?

I reply to a calvinist on the free will of man
A calvinist tries to persuade me that free-will is nonsense because Spurgeon said so (of course without any Biblical support for such in any way). Spurgeon also says that a man has eternal life in some sense before he comes to Christ for eternal life. I ask lots of questions which I don’t think the calvinist can answer Biblically.

Can you have eternal life before you have eternal life?
Spurgeon taught that you had eternal life before you came to Christ to receive eternal life.

Truth and logic rule! Calvinists don’t!
Very few calvinists actually attempt to defend from Biblical grounds, and not one of those (that I have seen) has ever succeeded in demonstrating logically and truthfully their point of view from the Bible.

Why do Christians treat calvinists as brothers in Christ?
Why should genuine Christians fellowship with calvinists if they persist in their satanic doctrines?

When will calvinists become Biblical?
When will calvinists use the Bible alone (Sola Scriptura) to demonstrate their teachings? When will they quote the Bible rather than their calvinist heroes?

Does Everyone who Reads, Agree?
So, here’s the challenge: can any calvinist actually demonstrate to me, by the use of the Bible alone, and without referring to Calvin or any other of their “learned teachers”, any of my writings that are not Scripturally correct?

The Seventh Day Adventist Connection to New Calvinism
It is necessary to demonstrate the extent to which the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) teaching on daily justification has influenced the development of new calvinism.

New Calvinism is Biblical Counselling
Both new calvinism and Biblical Counselling were developed into what they are today from their combined beginnings in the 1970s at Westminster Theological Seminary (USA). One is not separate from the other; each one is an integral part of the other.

Biblical Counselling as an Aid to Control the Church
Like the catholic confessional before it, Biblical counselling is being used today to control the church. The church then becomes the administrator of the grace of God which can only be dispensed to those whom the church deems forgiven and restored.

The New Calvinism Gospel
New calvinism is different from traditional calvinism, and, in particular, that includes its gospel. New calvinism is becoming, or is already, the dominant viewpoint of calvinism today. But few people realise that it was founded upon a fusion of Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) and calvinist beliefs, and that a Seventh Day Adventist with calvinist leanings named Robert Brinsmead was largely responsible for kick-starting what we call new calvinism today.

Local Fundamentalist Pastor Heresy
Just because your church might claim to be fundamentalist doesn’t mean that it is. Many calvinist churches claim this and yet they are far from being fundamentalist.

Calvinism is the non-gospel
The calvinist gospel is not the gospel of the Bible. In fact, it denies the truth of the Biblical gospel.

John 6:44 – Does it really prove calvinist teachings?
Calvinists claim this verse proves lack of free will, yet to conclude so has to rest upon an assumption that there is no free will in the first place. This is unacceptable circular logic.

The False Calvinist Gospel blog
Calvinists claim that calvinism is the gospel, yet not one person will ever be won for Christ by the preaching of the calvinist gospel alone.

Is MacArthur a Freemason?
Here is compelling evidence that demonstrates the true nature of MacArthur’s claimed spiritual harvest from his freemason great grandfather.

Potential Vs Actual Salvation? What’s the Difference?
MacArthur claims that atonement for all mankind means only a potential salvation and not actual, but is “potential” ever any less than “actual”? Is a potential killer any less of a killer because he is only potential?

Spurgeon was no genuine calvinist!
Spurgeon was a man driven by the need to be reassured of his position in the largely calvinist religious society of his day. Many of his teachings border on non-calvinism, yet he claims calvinism to be the gospel.

Calvinists born again before they are saved
Why do calvinists teach that a man must be born again before he is able to believe in Christ? What happens if a person dies after being born again, yet before he hears the gospel of Christ and believes?
