“THE DOCTRINES OF GRACE (D.O.G.S) AND THE PUB TEST”

Yes, Dear Reader, the local pub was the place where one supposedly got the common man’s verdict on a variety of subjects … and this is called The Pub Test.

Yes, Dear Reader, the local pub was the place where one supposedly got the common man’s verdict on a variety of subjects … and this is called The Pub Test.

For example, about seventy years ago in Australia, governments would know in advance whether they would be unceremoniously and promptly bundled out of office, by the voting public, with the following question “I hear beer and cigarettes are set to go up?”

In short, the Pub Test is a device used by Journalists to ascertain the general consensus, indeed, the ‘temperature’ of an issue, among the general public.

These ‘hit and miss’ tests have now been replaced with a more dignified, organized and sophisticated Focus Groups.

Here’s are some more topics not passing the Pub Test:

Interviewer: “Do you think the moon is made of green cheese?”

Patron thoughtfully stroking his chin: “Nup! … I don’t think that’s right!”

Interviewer: “What about a boss to an employee who has no arms or legs – ‘Move that ten ton of bricks over there, to the other side of the yard, in the next hour … and if you can’t or don’t, I’ll fire you.”

Patron: “No … that’s a very bad boss!”

Interviewer: “Well how about a God that tells you to do something even though you can’t do it … because you haven’t been selected or chosen to do it … like believe on the Lord Jesus Christ even though he will not let you do it!”

Patron: “Now, that’s one bad nasty dude!”  

Yes Dear Reader, but this is what the D.O.G.S would have us theological donkey-brains believe about the character of their God.

The basic story of the D.O.G.S God is as follows:

“God selected, before the foundation of the world, a small group of people to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ … and the rest to be cast into the everlasting and literal flames of hell … even though they hadn’t been born … and even though he commands all to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ … but they can’t believe no matter how hard they try.” 

Pub Test: “Look, I’m not a religious man, but even I know that is a definitely evil God … and should be condemned.  How can God command you to believe if he hasn’t chosen you to believe?”

The DOG replies: “But Dear Reader “You don’t understand. Consider the “all” of 1 Timothy 2:4 as follows:

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”

It should read as follows:
Who will have all elected men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”

The common man replies: “But the Bible doesn’t say that … you are lying and being deceitful! You’ve changed the meaning!”

The DOG replies: “Oh no I’m not … take for example another scripture “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16).

It should read as follows:
“For God so loved the elected world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever of the elected world believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16).

The common man: “Sniff! Sniff! I smell a rodent! You’ve put extra words in there to completely change the meaning!!!”

Conclusion:
Oh yes dear Reader, this is what the D.O.G.S (aka Calvinists) do … as they come from a long line of … Mmmm! Now let me think … how might I put it … swindling sophists, cunning charlatans, hooded hoodwinkers, harmful hoaxers, imperious imposters, deceitful deluders, vicious villains, wearying wordsmiths, pernicious popelings, rapscallion rogues, malicious monsters, snakish scoundrels, wanton wastrels, tonsured tricksters and subtil sophists

Yes, starting with smelling toilet of Greek human wisdom, which is the wisdom of the world … and then passed down through the sewers to Augustine, the Doctor of Rome … then, with a bit of air freshener, a different wig and lipstick … into Calvinism … and into their latest sauntering fashion on the catwalk … yes Dear Reader, you’ve got it … The Doctrines of Grace.

Ah yes, Dear Reader, the mystery of iniquity (2 Thessalonians 2:7) is alive and well with the D.O.G.S. … wresting the scriptures to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16).
