Calvinism Made Me Doubt My Salvation

[Eternally Grateful]

Chill, dude. I don't understand why you're giving this new member the third degree when it seems to me he's just being open and honest about things going on in his life!

You may very well be demonstrating the 'Calvinist arrogance' that has discouraged him in the past.

I thought the same

What does his situation have to do with Calvinism at all? He has said he is having an amicable divorce. What is that based on? He introduced this on this thread. I have never heard of anyone who is going through such a trial, and then blame a theological teaching as part of the reason for their personal difficulty. What if a person said, The premillennial Dispensational ideas are causing my spouse to want to leave me, because we cannot agree on the timing of the rapture. I asked John Hagee for advice and he told me to seek help at my local church, would that be valid? Would the teaching on endtimes be related at all.

Are you saying you committed adultery?

I did not.

You very well could have made a false profession of faith.

I gave a wholehearted profession of faith. That doesn’t mean that I’m going to be sinlessly perfect. It’s comments like this that really give Calvinists a bad name.

Why would you think that two Calvinist theologians, who do not know you at all, would offer ideas on your situation? telling you to seek local church advise was the best thing they could tell you

I’m not part of a local church right now because I got burnt out on organized religion. I have been listening to their podcast and livestreams and thought that they genuinely cared about the brethren, but apparently I was wrong.
