Sometimes I wonder if I chose this username… then I remember. No, I didn’t.

@jduck1745 @ProvisionistP @1620_American Exactly, we were “In Him” before the foundation. Before we existed. Before we believed and repented. We were always chosen. God knew us always. And since God’s knowledge is equal to His essence, we are part of Him. Hence “in Him”. Reprobates will never get it 😏

I’m glad He put me on it. Thanks God!

@OJarod3315 @ProvisionistP Most jokes in Calvinism were reprobated from eternity past. There is a small number of elect funny ones but the Calvinists who made them have nothing to do with why they’re funny and cannot take credit.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @HonestCalvinist]

Some say Calvinism’s just fatalism with Bible verses. And I’m like…yeah, and? Look, if God scripted everything, then even my crippling fear of free will was predestined. Honestly, I find that reassuring. I don’t have to wrestle with choices, I just sit back and enjoy the ride.😎

@rootcausesleuth What isn’t? 😃

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @HonestCalvinist]

Calvinism: where morality isn’t about the act, it’s about the actor’s membership tier.

Reprobate saves a child from abuse?

That’s filthy rags.

Elect individual does the same thing?

That’s pleasing to the Lord.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @HonestCalvinist]

@rootcausesleuth Look, when God is a hypocrite it’s good. It doesn’t matter what you do, it matters who you are when you do it.

Why is this confusing? Good and evil are just human concepts without meaning. You need to eat up the Omnominalism.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @HonestCalvinist]

God, in His infinite wisdom, has decreed from eternity past that the X algorithm would suppress the truth (for His glory).
No tragedies, no accidents. Just predestined shadowbans.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @HonestCalvinist]

Where Shakespeare wrote tragedies, God only writes comedies; because when He authors every atrocity, the punchline is always “for His glory.”

@eFTee2 @M1NDW4RD3N What DOESN’T He decree?

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @HonestCalvinist]

Calvinist logic on abuse victims:
•If she’s an unbeliever → she deserved it.
•If she’s a believer → she still deserved it, because everyone deserves hellfire.
•Except → grace means you still deserve it, you just don’t get what you deserve.

It’s pretty coherent.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @HonestCalvinist]

@eFTee2 @M1NDW4RD3N He “works” by sitting back and watching his decree play out. Duh 🙄

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @HonestCalvinist]

Objective morality? No thanks. We’ve got Subjective Morality: Sovereign Edition™.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @HonestCalvinist]

@MiscreaRichard Don’t try to think too hard about it, I don’t.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @HonestCalvinist]

Sometimes I worry I might not be elect. But then I remember: if I’m worried about not being elect, that probably means I am elect. Unless God decreed I’d worry about it as part of my non-elect reprobation arc. Which would also glorify Him.

Anyway, goodnight X. Sleep well 😴

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @HonestCalvinist]

@HaroldHo3 I may be decreed to fall away at some point. I right now know for certain I am elect, though.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @HonestCalvinist]

@TracyWelborn6 You too see how we have assurance!

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @HonestCalvinist]

@thechurchsplit @rcsprouljr He’s right. She deserves whatever evil happens to her, and we elect don’t deserve the mercy we receive. Even though that implies that we elect deserve the same evil she experienced, and he said she only deserves it if she’s an unbeliever, I assure you, this is good theology.
