Contradictions in Calvinism

I see predestination in the Bible related to God dealing with His elect, not with the lost, as do not see Him directly determining them to be reprobate in same fashion as He does His elect to get saved!

 

The parable of the Tares and the Wheat describe spiritual truth we are best to pay attention too. Christ does nothing for the Tares, they do use up the ground intended for the wheal to grow and bear fruit, I see no kindness to the tares in anything Christ says.

24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”

The parable explained

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”
37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

 

God chose to bypass their election, so they already were judged and condemned in Adam, but that would be confirmed over and over again by them willing rejecting Jesus to save them from their sins!

 

Of course God the Father has chosen to destroy those who do not believe, Christ is also weeping towards this people who have continually resisted the Holy Spirit, 'all day long' and they are enemies of the gospel, but beloved because of the fathers,we see Christ's humanity in this. It is why the New Covenant is so vastly superior to the OC, because in the NEW, God writes His laws in them into their minds and hearts and He will be their God, and they will be His people and no one needs to teach anyone to know the LORD anymore. But this Old Covenant relationship Christ is weeping for these Old Covenant Jews because they had rejected Him and He knew their end was death.

This is really about the difference in these 2 major covenants, the new one is so much better and has no sadness in it.

 

Sorry that you believe Devil's tares can turn into the good seed (which is planted by Christ), on their own ? How would they do such a thing? By good works? By whose definition would be these good works. Scripture is clear, we are are not saved by works at all.

The non elect can not believe in Christ, it is impossible as the god of this world, (devil) has blinded their minds. Only Christ can make you free of that blindness. And the only way that can happen is becoming a new creation, born of God as a newborn babe, it is only to babes God reveals the things of God. read Luke 10 and 2 Corinthians 4


You cannot and will not know God and Christ, unless Christ wills that you know God.

20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are enrolled in heaven.
21 In that same hour He rejoiced and gloried in the Holy Spirit and said, I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have concealed these things [relating to salvation] from the wise and understanding and learned, and revealed them to babes (the childish, unskilled, and untaught). Yes, Father, for such was Your gracious [c]will and choice and good pleasure.

22 All things have been given over into My power by My Father; and no one knows Who the Son is except the Father, or Who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son may choose to reveal and make Him known.

 

I can look at Acts 17 and see God commands all men everywhere to repent and believe in the gospel, but this does not imply anymore than a command to all repent, where is the desire? The reason Paul says God gives this command is right here,

30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

'Assurance to all', but this does not imply the ability to believe. This is a command that unbelievers due to the enmity and them being the tares , children of Satan can not follow. This comes under the righteous judgement of God, that He told people, like those of the world what to do and they refuse Him, and so then are guilty before God.

 

ALL apart from the election and will of God will forever keep on rejecting Jesus to save them from their sins, so He is just giving to them what they want.

 

God does not force the lost to reject Jesus does He?

 

Christ tells the ones He has chosen, that they are not of the world, they have been taken out of the world and will not come under judgement of God.
Christ tells us that those of the world hate him and do not believe.
Christ tells us the ones God has chosen are blessed of His Father
And that the kingdom was prepared for them from the world's foundation.

Matthew 25:34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

 

Like I tried to share with you, that was all about the OC relationship, and it is not at all how the NC relationship works after Christ institutes it in His shed blood.

AND Christ was not talking to the world, just the jewish people who rejected Him.

 

The word is preached to all the nations, but this does not imply God desires the non elect to believe, if he did, why is there the elect?, and only they get saved?
What your describing is a double minded God somewhat schizophrenic seeing all the things he has said in scriptures.

And if you try and use the old testament prophets, they were speaking mostly to Israel about repentance.
God does have enemies.
God will judge the world in righteousness and it cuts both ways, just like Romans 9 says.

19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?”
20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?”
21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory,
24 even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

 

God does not jump back and forth on the tracks, either One is elected by God, or one is not.
