Two Conflicting Wills Part2

Calvinists have a problem. According to the theory of Calvinsim, God has two wills in conflict : one will desiring for mankind to repent and be saved, and the other for most of mankind to perish in Hell. There are some issues with this attempt to harmonize a faulty theory and plain Scripture.

Number one- Eph 1:11 b- a favorite verse used by Calvinists-being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: So which will does God work out? Nowhere does Scripture say God has two wills that conflict. Once again Calvinists have no Scripture to support their claims. We are just to take their word on it.

Number two- James 1:8- A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Would not God be doubleminded if He has two wills that contridict each other?

John MacArthur said this in his study Bible: " Ultimately, God's choices are determinded by His sovereign, eternal, purpose, not His desires." So God can have "desires" that are contrary to His sovereign, eternal purpose? God double minded? Inconceivable!

Dave Hunt summed it up nicely with this in his book What Love Is This : The Calvinist is caught in the horns of a dilemma. How can he maintain the position that God decrees and causes all, and yet exonerate God for the wickedness and eternal punishment of the vast majority of mankind? He falls back on the theory that God really doesn't want this state of affairs, and yet His eternal purpose and His decrees demand it. What a contradiction!

Can anyone answer these questions?

More questions unanswered by Calvinist. Hear they are-
1. What did John Calvin trace his conversion too?
2. Do you agree with Calvin that infant baptism is good and right?

Questions That Have Yet To Be Answered

In dissusing Calvinism, I have raised questions that have been ignored or unanswered. I am sure that more will follow in the years to come. These questions will not stump/silense/ all Calvinists. You must first know what they believe by what they state in conversing with them. They are as follows:
1- Does God get His 100% perfect will 100% of the time?
2- Is my humanistic desire for all mankind to be saved a sin?
As stated ealier, some could answer quickly and others may hvae to ponder awhile on it. There will be more to follow. For the non-Calvinites out there, the most likely retreat that a Calvinist will make when "cornered" will be phrases like " It is a mystery." Or " You just don't understand Calvinism." Just a heads up.
