“THE FORKED-TONGUED CALVINIST GOD”

Dear Reader, it’s a great relief to a Christian to know he has a reasonable God.

As silk is to sandpaper, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Matthew 22:32), was revealed to the world … that is … 180 degrees opposite in thought, word and manner … to the unpredictable pagan gods that surrounded Israel.

The God who invented mathematics … you know … one and one makes two … JEHOVAH God Almighty
(Exodus 6:3) was the first … and has been the only God … of predictive certainty, reliability and reason.

On the other hand, the pagan gods were capricious, cruel and unpredictable … you know … one plus one might equal three one day … and twenty the following.

So fickle were these gods, they could turn on a dime … for very simple things like … their underpants were the wrong size … or the local supermarket had run out of their favourite Hershey’s Chocolate ice cream. 

And this could send them into a Hitler-like rage resulting in the massacre of innocents.

So God Almighty appears on the scene who … in his own words states … that he is the God of reason
(Isaiah 1:18).

“Oh! That’s good” we all sigh with relief.

Now the Websters 1828 states that the word ‘reason’ accompanies such words as objective, rational and logical … you know … as stated above … if the number one is added to another number one, then the total makes two … predictable and reliable … with the answer being the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

But along comes the Calvinist God that defies reason.

Why?

If God is not the author of confusion, then why can’t the Calvinist explain the difference between two scriptures that seem to contradict each other?

Firstly, “Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.”
(Romans 9:18)

(Oh! The Calvinist loves the above verse … totally ignoring that the verse is contained NOT in the context of salvation.)

Secondly, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.(2 Peter 3:9)

With the knowledge and understanding of a drowned squirrel is a flooded drain, our basic befuddled Calvinist is thrust into a quandary for an explanation.  

Is God willing or not willing to save people?

So he trots out the same ol’ chesnut of … trying to sound wise …

“Well … we all deserve to burn in hell, but at least God saves some of us!”

or something as equally ridiculous as … 

Our God is a mysterious God … who can know his ways and thoughts!”

or

“I guess we’ll all find out one day.”

So on one hand the Calvinist’s God is not willing any should perish … but then … on the other hand … we find that God hardens hearts so they can’t get saved.

This what is called speaking with forked tongue … speaking with insincerity and deceit.

This saying originated in the 16th century where snakes … which … having forks in their tongues … were associated with evil and deception.

But then again, with Satan being the master of the forked tongue, he is very much at home in the mouth of the forked-tongue Calvinist.

A note for those genuinely wanting to learn:

As deaf as a blind beetle … the non-dispensationalist … and exceedingly proud of it … Calvinist woefully weds the NON salvation verse of Romans … to marry the salvation verse in Peter.

And that’s why the Calvinist … pretending to be wise … only has his non-meaningless platitudes to explain away the Bible.
