This is from me...
Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”[Psa. 2:1-3]
Psalm 2 is a Messianic Psalm. Someday it will be fulfilled. It is not applicable right now and it does use very figurative language. Again, typical of the Calvinist to throw scripture out of context.
God is just which means he is also fair. The Bible teaches both attributes. The Bible clearly teaches this, but Calvinism flat out rejects it. It has to. It demands that God, before the creation of the world, elected some to eternal life and left the others (unfairly) to eternal damnation. This is not Biblical, but Calvinism teaches it anyway, therefore them must change the doctrines of the Bible and conclude wrongly that God is not fair. What a farce!
What other changes do the Calvinist make to the Bible to prop up their errant theology?
Christ died for the sins of the world. This is obviously and plainly stated in so many scriptures I am not going to bother quoting them all, suffice it to say that John 3:16ff will do. But the Calvinist in most of these verses must change "the world" to "the elect," though that is not what the Bible says. Here a change, there a change; every where a change, change, leading farther and farther away from the truth for the sake of an ungodly man.
Now God is not fair. Christ did not die for the sins of the world. Denial of truth obviously present.
How is God fair?
God did die for the sins of the world.
Scripture:
In preaching to idolatrous pagan heathen in Athens Paul concluded his sermon with these words:
Act 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now
commandeth all men every where to repent:
Act 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which
he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof
he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Act 17:32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.
Three times he declares to these pagans that God:
1. commands ALL men EVERY Where to repent. Is he speaking just of the elect?
2. He will judge the world in righteousness. Is he only going to judge the elect? These were unsaved idolaters.
3. He has given an assurance to all men that there is a judgment to come. Is this just for the elect?
He has said the same truth in Heb.9:27 concerning the last point.
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
These are three truths that all men know. They are demonstrated in Romans chapter one. God will hold all mankind responsible for the revelation they have--from nature, from their heart, from their conscience that bears witness to them. They have no excuse (Rom.1:20). They will be held accountable in the Day of Judgment.
The Calvinist says it is impossible for them to understand "spiritual light." The Bible says otherwise. They will be held accountable for the light that they have been given by God Himself. We are not to be the judges of how much light and in which way God gives that light to the heathen.
Is God fair? God will get the gospel (as he did to Cornelius) to any man who desires to be saved.
OTOH, will Christians be held accountable for not getting the gospel out. Will the blood of the unsaved be on their hands. Yes, I believe it will.
Look at some statistics.
From my calculations, from Shem to Abraham only 1379 years had passed. In that time they say the world population had increased to no more than 6,000 people. For Abraham to get the message of salvation out would not be impossible, especially considering the number of servants that he had.
By the time of Christ the population had increased to one hundred million, or one third of the U.S. population. Now there were not just the 12 apostles but 3,000 saved on the Day of Pentecost, the Lord adding daily to the church, and in Acts 8 a persecution that sent believers everywhere preaching the gospel. It was not impossible in that time for them to reach the world.
Now in our time the world is about 7 billion, a population that seems almost unfathomable to our minds. And yet:
Today almost every nation can be reached with some kind of media.
In North America 87% of us are connected via the internet.
In the entire world 43% use the internet. That is almost half of the world population is connected just through that one media alone.
Just less than 80% of the world watches Television.
The reception of radio signals can reach almost every country in the world.
And literature? We live in a global world where there is a literacy rate of 84% world-wide.
--With these statistics in mind, the technology available to us, we have no excuse to get the gospel out. Paul could never have traveled from North America to India as we are so easily able to do. So even though our world is 7 billion it is not impossible to reach it. God has given us the means, the wherewithal to do so, if only Christians everywhere would do their duty in carrying out the Great Commission. We need to use the tools that we have
available to us to reach the world. It is not impossible.
Any person in any part of the world can hear the gospel if they so desire to, and if any Christian is willing to go and tell them. God is fair.
On that basis God fairly receives those into heaven who believe on the name of the Son of God, and rejects those who believe not on the name of the Son of God. This truth is repeated many times in Scripture.
"He that hath the Son hath life: he that hath not the Son hath not life" 1John 5:12.
