| Publisher Description: A concise, plain language treatment of the Biblical accuracy of the Calvinistic doctrine of predestination. Predestination: TBTS delves far beyond the 'normal' verses used by Calvinism to support the belief that God chose individuals for salvation before we were even created, and expands the scope of the study to include Scripture that might otherwise seem completely unrelated. The book does not seek to disprove the doctrine of predestination, but instead, uses a wealth of Scripture to clarify what has been one of the most hotly debated topics in Christianity for hundreds of years. This being that, according to Calvinism, predestination is extended by God to man, and that all anyone can ever do to be saved is to hope that they are 'chosen' by God. Predestination: TBTS, however, shows how Scripture clearly reveals that this teaching is in error, and that the totality of the Scriptures themselves reveal a completely different take on this doctrine. This take is neither new, nor is it earth-shattering, it is simply what the Bible has been saying for two centuries concerning the doctrine of predestination. Namely, that predestination is solely, and exclusively the possession of Jesus Christ, and that the only way any person can ever claim to be predestined, chosen, or elect is through Christ, and Him alone. While some within Calvinism might not dispute this claim, its (Calvinism's) teaching of the doctrine wrongly attributes this choosing of individuals before time began to God the Father, which is directly disputed by this work. What Predestination: TBTS shows is that, instead, God the Father chose, or predestined, His Son, Jesus Christ, alone, and that His (Jesus Christ's) predestination is available to any, and all, who will only believe in Him. |
