A friends post on another page: Imagine a building burning. A man runs in and saves a child. He again runs in and saves another person. The building burns to the ground and 7 people die. This man is called a hero. He is on TV and radio and paper and internet. All praise him for his brave work. He is loved and given much praise. Now imagine this man telling the TV, radio and all that he could have saved all in the building, but only chose to save two and he chose for 7 to die. He did not take in his thoughts who did what or anything of the person in his choosing. He only chose in arbitrary manner. Then he saved those two and let the rest die. Now, he says this and closes his interview by saying he only saved two, to show his own greatness and that he should be praised even more because he had no requirement to save any and his own choice to save is all that is important and that he made a choice based upon his own desire to show his greatness that he chose to save only two should be as praised as his choice to let 7 die, when his power to save them was equal to his power to save only two. Would this man be worthy of praise? This is the false god of the Calvinite doctrine. This false god is claimed to do things for glory of himself, and his saving some is for his glory and his condemnation of the rest is for glory, too. Holy Jesus asked a question, Who is more thankful, one forgiven little or one forgiven much? I ask a similar thing, what god is more gloried, one who saves few or one who saves much? Holy God says be like him, so if we are right to not praise this man who could save more, has the power to save more, but thinks it is glory to choose to save less, acting like the Calvinite god, why does it make us sick if a man acts this way, and acceptable if the god of Calvino is told to be doing it?
