God has predestined before the foundation of the world who would be saved (Calvinistic Soteriology).

Hi again! Unfortunately I've been busy and I apologize for my lag time in responding. This may be my last chance for response before time runs out so in case this is it for me I'm going to go a little different direction I hope you don't mind. Calvinism, Arminianism, Molinism, these are all ideas that have been thought up by men to try to understand the mysteries of God that are not known truths of the Bible. As is the case for many secondary topics that good Christians differ on. The real answer is that no one will know for sure until we can ask the Lord Himself. But in the meantime people like us get wrapped up in, and thirst to figure these mysteries out. I think it's important for us to remember that people like us are not the target demographic. Mark 2:17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." The gospel is God's tool to gather people to Him through Jesus. People are called through the Word of God and not through our "isms" The Bible tells people that God wants all people to be saved 1 Timothy 2 "This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people." This is the Christian message. God loves all men, wants all men to be saved, and Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. The prodigal son, no matter who you are or what you've done God welcomes you with open arms. Luke 15:7 "I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." People are saved by hearing the gospel and I think it's important for the message that the Christian Jesus loves them, is their sole source of salvation, and will be there for them if they call out to Him, is preserved. Not preserved by a deep theological understanding like "this is still true even though it's not true in the way it's written, or the way you understood it when you heard it and were saved. But true in a way that can only be understood by a man made "ism" created to understand the mysteries of God that we won't know for sure is the real answer until we can ask the Lord himself. " "It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me." The Gospel, people hear it, learn, come to Christ in repentance, are born again, and continue to believe because they are truly a new creation and have a real relationship. Christianity is a relationship not a religion. God wanted a real relationship, not a forced relationship, to be chosen and loved, not a family who is forced to love Him without choice. Without knowing the depth of Calvinism a person couldn't hear a message like I mentioned in 1 Timothy 2 and understand that man doesn't have the choice to choose God. Molinism would allow for an answer to the great mystery while allowing for traditional Christian beliefs, messages, scripture to retain its meaning at face value. God wants all men to be saved etc. I don't know what the answer is but I do know that I will tell anyone and everyone that God loves them and that Jesus's hand is extended to them. How else could I love my neighbor? You could never honestly spread the good news, if you didn't believe that people could chose to come to Christ. Good debate dude. God bless and have a great Christmas!
