I'm a born again believer in Jesus, free will, love and truth.

I don't endorse any church, denomination, cult, sect, religion, religious movement or doctrine.

Today it is the 1:st of September 2025, and it is already autumn. It came extra early this year in Sweden.

I will take a three month break now from X, and go “into my chamber” and focus on writing on a book (about God’s nature) that I have been working on for a while.
I don’t quit or abandon this account, but I’ll be back, sometime around Christmas this year.

Please follow me if you find my writing interesting. God bless you!

FYI, I neither read or answer DM:s

... and I am out.

@NickQuient @WhenDeepCalls @DPGBehler But how does that work? Do they take control over you, or do you make your own decisions about who to interact with?

I'm bursting with pride for being an Israeli and I wish I was Jewish so I could feel it doubled.

Israel is giving the whole world a great spectacle of war. Precise, forceful, smart and fascinating both strategically and tactically.

In two years Israel gave us great shows, when it decided to finish Hezbollah starting with the walkie talkie attack and finishing with assassinating the leader. Then the pre-emptive attack on Iran, then a few days ago with the Houthis. This in addition to beautiful assassinations of Hamas leaders all over the world.

Israel's enemies invite it to war just to see what it is cooking for them. They are so addicted to being torn by Israel, that they constantly poke it in anticipation for the unique and surprising response.

I don't understand those who cry that Israel violates this law or that - just take responsibility for your decision to f*k with it and enjoy the show.

Another interesting point - You see how precise Israel is when it takes care of its enemies, which further proves that the facade of lack or precision in Gaza is actually Hamas' huge efforts to ensure that every terrorist or leader or figure is fully surrounded by human shields, to raise the price of each target and prevent Israel from enjoying a smooth victory.

Some replies say that we must make an distinction between fatalism and determinism.

I understand that such a distinction is possible to do, and that sometimes it needs to be done. But it is not necessary in my argument against fatalism.

Anything called fatalism or determinism is included in what I call fatalism, and that doesn't make any difference in the point I'm making.

It is very interesting that no one has objected to my claim, not with any logic argument, that so much of today's Christianity is fatalistic. That claim is silently accepted. I think fatalistic Christianity is pathetic and evil. It is sad to see that so many Christians believe in this.

[Johan Kärnbo @JKarnbo]

Calvinism is obviously fatalism, but many more than Calvinists hold on to fatalism.

Fatalism is the belief that everything that happens are set in stone. Everything happens according to a set script or blue print, and no action or choice by humans in history can ever be anything other than what is set in stone to happen.

Calvinists believe that God has written the script, but that detail doesn't define fatalism. It can be fatalism even if you say that human choices has caused the set script, or if you think it is fate or random causes. If everything that ever happen i set in stone, then it is in fatalism regardless of who wrote the script, or even if it was written by chance only.

Most fatalists believe in human free will, and that is defined as choosing the only possible option and being ignorant about that there is no other options available. In short, free will is only ignorance about that alternative options never exists.

I don't believe in fatalism, and I believe God has given humans a totally different kind of free will, where there always are different possible options. I don't believe it is set what will happen but that the opposite is always true - what will happen is open.

[Johan Kärnbo @JKarnbo]

I'm a non-theistic* Christian, and I think your description is quite accurate.

I believe that God demand this faith that you write about, which is a tyranny to the intellect that grows on the tree of knowledge. That intellect and tree need to die to open the way back to Paradise, and that is why "faith" feels like tyranny to this intellect. You are on to something.

"Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles." 1 Cor 1:22

*I believe in God, but not in a God who is anything like in the classic theistic doctrines.

[Johan Kärnbo @JKarnbo]

I get so many harsh replies from Christians. Many of my posts are called heresy or something like it, and sometimes it even gets personal.

I have no problem with any of that, but I am a little surprised. I am not surprised by the rage – that I expected, but that I am so alone in my critic of traditional church theology. I am not totally alone. I get some likes now and then, but almost never any who repost what I’ve written.

It has been sobering for me to realize how radical my thinking is among Christians. I’m learning. It’s interesting. Maybe it would be better for me to leave X for some time and write a book instead.

- I don’t believe in a god so sovereign that he has intended all evil that we see in the world today.
- I don’t believe fatalism or determinism is true in any way.
- I do believe salvation is to know God, which means a mutual personal relationship with God now in time and forever. I have personally been born again into this fellowship with God.
- I don’t believe God is, or can be, outside time.
- I don’t believe the Bible is totally free from literal errors or contradictions.
- I reject every church council in history.
- I don’t believe God wanted or planned any of today’s power churches. It would be better without them.
- I believe that Jesus only is your Lord if He is your only Lord.

I will get some harsh replies on this also. Most of them I will not answer because they are to stupid, self-contradicting and non-logic. But in some sense they will anyway be interesting as they say something about today’s Christianity.

[Johan Kärnbo @JKarnbo]

@trinity_314 Yes, I question the sovereign god that you confess to. I believe in another God, a God who is only good.

[Johan Kärnbo @JKarnbo]

@trinity_314 The evil in this world is running rampant. And all is because of your god. You believe he is so sovereign that everything that happens is intended by him.

I don't believe in such an evil god as you confess to.

[Very Jewish and Proud 💪 @Jewishlegend18]

Like David vs Goliath — the Jewish nation is small, outnumbered, and underestimated. Yet with faith, courage, and truth, David always defeats the giant.

Today, Jews are David, the world’s Goliath rises — but David still wins.

Am Yisroel Chai.

[Very Jewish and Proud 💪 @Jewishlegend18]

God is on team Israel.

And I’m with God !

[Roger Ecoff @rogerecoff]

Calvinism is not compatible with logical thinkers

[𝕷𝖚𝖐𝖊 𝕬𝖕𝖕𝖑𝖊𝖙𝖔𝖓 ♱ @lukeappleton]

Who might want us to believe this is no longer true? 🤔

Ephesians 6:12 (KJV) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].

[Johan Kärnbo @JKarnbo]

@1984_nate Agree. I follow only Christ and not any church father.

Jesus is only Lord if He is the only Lord.

[Johan Kärnbo @JKarnbo]

@HillsdaleS44673 @ericmetaxas Then I guess you don't believe in trinity. Because Satan is also included in your god, so your god is not three but four.

[BannedbyDrOakley1689 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @bannedby]

Christians: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP PRETENDING THIS CALVINIST CRAP IS CHRISTIAN.

This is pagan fatalism wrapped up in biblical dressing. Calvinism attacks the holiness of God, the righteousness of God, the love of God in Christ. It's a cult constantly attacking our faith.

[Johan Kärnbo @JKarnbo]

@Askwhyisit Yes.

[Johan Kärnbo @JKarnbo]

@5solas Why do you ask for prayer?

Don't you believe it is set in stone exactly what will happen, and that no prayer made now can change that in any way?

[Johan Kärnbo @JKarnbo]

At least I don't lie, like @5solas. The truth is that I do believe God knows the future.

I know the future. I know what I will work with this fall, and what I will do for Christmas, and about a lot of things that will happen this week.

If I can know the future, of course I believe God can also, and I believe God's knowledge about the future is far far better than mine.

So the claim that I don't believe that God knows the future is simply not true. If someone use a lie as their strongest argument, maybe they lack any good arguments.

[5 Solas @5Solas]

These are the people saying Calvinism is fatalism. They don't even believe God knows the future.
