PSA For Arminians

Yet many Arminians still think we are mean. This is rather unfortunate, as our intention is to be nice to everyone. Indeed, I wholly endeavor to become all things to all people (even girly men) if that is what it takes to keep people from saying I’m a big meanie.

So this post is for our Arminian sisters brothers who need TLC. Here are just a few passages of Scripture that you should never read, since they are not inspired like Arminian philosophy is. (Note the extra love I demonstrate by using the NIV instead of the hard-to-grasp-because-of-big-words NASB!)

May the table set before them become a snare; may it become retribution and a trap.
May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.
Pour out your wrath on them; let your fierce anger overtake them.
May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
For they persecute those you wound and talk about the pain of those you hurt.
Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them share in your salvation.
May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous.

Psalm 69:22-28

May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.
May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.
May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children.
May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation.
May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
May their sins always remain before the LORD, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

Psalm 109:8-15

Then the angel of the LORD went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the Assyrian camp. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies!

Isaiah 37:36 (this passage especially ought to be ignored if you believe the angel of the Lord is a Christophany)

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.”

Matthew 23:13-15

When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong.

Galatians 2:11

You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?

Galatians 3:1

I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

Revelation 3:15-16

So we see that Paul attacked Peter in public, he called the church of Galatians foolish and bewitched, and JESUS had the audacity to criticize the church at Laodicea. This is obvious proof that Calvinists are part of the NIV conspiracy.

Remember, God loves you.
