My 1st Encounter With Divine Determinism (Calvinism)

“Men do nothing save at the secret instigation of God, and do not discuss and deliberate on anything but what he has previously decreed with himself, and brings to pass by his secret direction.” - Institutes of the Christian Religion (Inst. I.xviii.l.) 1559 edition

Divine Determinism is a Calvinist/Reformed Theology doctrine expressing the belief that God is meticulously determining everything that happens. This assumption is the foundation for much of Calvinist thinking and doctrine starting with John Calvin himself.

In this video, I describe my first encounter with someone who believed in Divine Determinism and give my opinion about this doctrine after 30 years of observing and interacting with those who profess to believe it.

How You Can Be Saved by Jesus Christ (Become a Christian):

Believe this:
Christ died for our sins...He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the (Old Testament) Scriptures predicted. - I Corinthians 15:3-4

Do this:
...Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. - Acts 2:38 New Living Translation

For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. - Romans 10:10 New Living Translation

Whoever believes in Jesus is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned because they have not believed in the name of God’s only begotten Son. - John 3:18
