Eternal Security Is the Truth (Christianity)

I am going to start with some rebuttals but I have addressed most of these to start with. The bible is riddled with contradictions and errors if you do not know how to read it. Just a fewGod is the author of evil/God is not the author of evilGod is to be found by those who seek him(Mat 7:8)/God is not to be found by those who seek him(Prov 1:28)God tempts man (Gen 22:1) / God shall never tempt a man or God tempts no man (James 1:13)God can not lie (Hebrews 6:18) / God lies (1Kings 22:23)The key not to this is that there is a multitude of verses that can be taken out of context and perceived as contradictions. This is what my adversary seeks to exploit in his argument. We have arrived at two differing verses, much like the prior ones mentioned. (1) No man may come unto the father unless he is first called(2) I will draw "all" men unto meRebuttal 1Limited atonementJust some points to provide evidence for this. John 10:15, "I lay down my life for the sheep." The sheep of Christ are those whom the Father draws to the Son. "You do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep." Notice: being a sheep enables you to become a believer, not vice versa. So the sheep for whom Christ dies are the ones chosen by the Father to give to the Son.There is a fundamental flaw in my adversaries logic, along with most people whom have no idea of what Calvinism really entails. The most basic line of thought is that Calvinism negates free will. Free will and the idea that there is a set group of people whom are elected and shall remained saved are mutually compatible. The best way I have heard this described is that, "God chooses to remove the blindfolds off some people" Remember God is aware and knows everything. He knows whom is going to be saved, whom will be saved, and when they will be saved. If god exits he is transcendent and is knowledgeable of all this even at the time in which he created us. Calvinism goes one step further and states, that he has ordained an elect due to this. Free will is compatible with thisThe issue is defining what "free will" is. Each individual person has the choice to accept or deny God. The question is whether or not the invitation is extended to everyone. As we can see through prior verses, most Calvinism believe that it is only extended to a few, and those whom it is extended to will all accept it and remain saved. Even if they were to commit sins, they will be draw back.Free will works with this in the aspect that it is our choice whether or not that we accept God or turn away from God, limited atonement is just stating it has already be decided. Rebuttal 2All The main thing we need to look at is the word "all". My adversary quite simply claims that this refers to everyone whom is willing to accept salvation. The issue with this is that salvation is not extended to everyone. I will address this from an argument John Piper presentsTake a look at the following verse1 John 2:2, "He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.""The "whole world" refers to the children of God scattered throughout the whole world. If "the whole world" referred to every individual in the world, we would be forced to say that John is teaching that all people will be saved, which he does not believe (Revelation 14:9-11). The reason we would be forced to say this is that the term propitiation refers to a real removal of wrath from sinners. When God's wrath against a sinner is propitiated, it is removed from that sinner. And the result is that all God's power now flows in the service of his mercy, with the result that nothing can stop him from saving that sinner." [1]The view of unlimited atonement takes all the passages that say the death of Christ is “for us” (Rom. 5:8; 1 Thess. 5:10), or for his own “sheep” (John 10:11, 15), or for “the church” (Acts 20:28; Eph. 5:25), or for “the children of God” (John 11:52), or for “those who are being sanctified” (Heb. 10:14) and makes them refer to all human beings. In this “unlimited atonement” view, the sentence “Christ died for you” means: Christ died for all sinners, so that if you will repent and believe in Christ, then the death of Jesus will become effective in your case and will take away your sins.The key to interpreting this is addressing the words that are being used. Take for example the passages that say "Christ died for his/the church"There is no way Christ could die for everyone in this instance. To insinuate this is to presume that "everyone", is the church of Christ. Quite literally the church would have to be everyone and every individual in the entire earth. We know that is not the case though. The "church " that Christ died for is those that are saved. If Christ died for his church, then he died for those that are saved or will be saved, not every individual in the world. The same logic can be found through every verse my adversary presented .Take for example the verse he used." I will draw all men unto me " (short version)You often will see "kol" used in these verses and people naturally assume that "all" means "all". Kol = allIf you look at in the right context Kol in this aspect is referring to the church of Christ or the elect. kol = all = church/electContentionEternal SecurityTo really understand how this works, you have to understand the prior points. The elect can not be lost, they are ordained. Romans 8:28-30, "We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his propose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified." What is evident from this passage is that those who are effectually called into the hope of salvation will indeed persevere to the end and be glorified. [1] Desiringgod.org
