🚨 If Molinism Were Biblically Consistent... 🤔God wouldn't be searching for the best possible world— He’d choose the worst one. The world where no one comes to faith. No matter the preacher. No matter the circumstance. No matter the appeal. No matter the external provision.…
Josh, your question: “If everything originates from God, then lying originates in God?” …is like asking: “If everything in The Lord of the Rings originates from Tolkien, then the orcs’ slaughter of innocents originates in Tolkien?” Answer: Yes, of course it does. Tolkien…
If you define “selfish” like we apply it to creatures—as someone who hoards good for themselves at the expense of others—then no, not even close. But if by “selfish” you mean that God does all things for His own glory, then the answer is a joyful, resounding yes—because that is…
🤔 AI Is the Provisionist's Perfect Convert—So Why Do They Hate It? Provisionists claim: “People aren’t born guilty.” “There’s no inherited sin nature.” “No need for internal regeneration to accept or understand truth.” “All you need is sufficient Scripture and the ability to…
🔥 If you reject being made sinner by one man’s disobedience, then don’t expect to be made righteous by One man’s obedience. The same Will that rejects Adam’s guilt must also reject Christ’s gift, and stand or fall by its own righteousness alone. #Calvinism vs...
If God knew before creating them that they'd never love the truth and would only ever reject Him, how is it more loving to create them anyway—just to watch them walk that path straight into hell? Wouldn’t the more loving option be to not create them at all and spare them from…
@ProvisionistP 🔍 What Does “Everyone Can Be Saved” Actually Mean in Provisionism? Not that God can save everyone if He wants to. Not that Christ’s death actually saves anyone. But rather: That every person has the inherent ability—unaided by internal grace—to believe, if…
Zangief, here's the fundamental issue with your corporate election model: It only appears coherent if you surgically remove God's omniscience from the equation—or worse, replace it with open theism. Let me explain: If God is truly omniscient—meaning He exhaustively foreknows…
🚨 Bad Theology Alert: Provisionism's Pithy Illusion 🚨 Leighton Flowers likes to say: 🚩“Just because one has a corrupt heart doesn’t mean they can’t confess they have a bad heart.” Sounds humble, right? But here's what he's really saying underneath the surface: 👉 A bad…
New Episode: "Romans 8:5-13 Refuting Leighton Flowers & Provisionism" is now available. Podcast: consistentcalvinism.podbean.com Youtube: youtu.be/JpoNs_wSfzM?si…
🔥 Every Time Someone Denies God Determined All Things… Remember This: If someone claims that God "sees" or "looks into" the future to know what will happen… Ask this: 🤔 Who got there first? If God's knowledge depends on seeing you do something in the future, then you had…
🚨By Grace Alone: How Ephesians 2:8–9 Dismantles the Illusion of Self-Originated Willing and Working Ephesians 2:8–9 is often quoted but rarely unpacked in the order that Paul presents it—with theological clarity that removes all room for self-congratulation. Paul writes: “For…
Totally fair, brother—“mostly agreeing” with clarity like that is a win in my book. And I fully affirm what you just said: the faith by which we believe is absolutely a gift of God, born out of a new heart that desires what it once resisted. That 180° flip is regeneration…
Interesting response from Grok...
@Grok In Ephesians 2:8–9, when Paul says “by grace you have been saved through faith”— Is “by grace” referring to God’s internal work that produces the faith (like Phil. 2:13)? Or just to the external provisions (cross, Bible) made available for someone to choose? Curious how…
Imagine this: Two people sit on a park bench. Person A says: “Wanna grab a coffee?” Person B responds: “Can I?” Person A says: “No.” Person B asks: “Are you going to drive me there?” Person A says: “No.” Person B shrugs: “Okay. Well, this was awkward.” See the problem? It’s…
Consider this thought experiment to demonstraite what it means for God to "give us a will" that is "free"... youtu.be/a-zwY18X8gg?si…
🚩Evolutionists demand that if God is real, He must show up in the microscope, the telescope, or part the clouds. They reject any divine explanation unless it’s immediately visible in the moment. 📖 Provisionists do the exact same thing—just with Scripture. When a verse shows…
🤔Ever wonder why some people say they see “free will everywhere in the Bible”? Here’s why: It’s not because they actually see free will. It’s because they’ve rejected the reasons behind the willings and workings the Bible shows. Let me explain: 👉 When they read about someone…

🔥 What Made the Difference? (And why we ask…) When someone asks, “What made the difference between you believing and your neighbor rejecting?”, they’re not asking about your surroundings, your upbringing, or what you had for breakfast. They’re asking: 👉 What was the…
If you denying the internal grace of "God working in you...", like the Provisionists do, then why get upset over us insisting that you are saved by your "... willing and working" apart from the "God working IN you"? External grace for ALL doesn't explain an INternal difference.

🚨 THEOLOGICAL WAKE-UP CALL 🚨 “Just because God knows you’ll go to hell doesn’t mean He determined it…” Sound familiar? That statement sounds humble—but it sneaks in a false assumption: that God is just a knower, not the Creator and Sustainer of all things. But here’s the…
