Zawsze ten sam argument i zawsze sprzeczy z twierdzeniem tego fragmentu  
Słowa Bożego.
Oczyiście, że Bóg może to zrobić, ale Bóg nikogo nie gwałci i na siłe nie  
nawraca.
I o tym pisze Jakub:
5:19-20:
  Bracia moi, jeśli kto spośród was zboczy od prawdy, a ktoś go nawróci,  
(20) niech wie, że ten, kto nawróci grzesznika z błędnej drogi jego,  
wybawi duszę jego od śmierci i zakryje mnóstwo grzechów.

JEst tutaj mowa o człowieku, który otrzymał bardzo głębokie poznanie, w  
sumie jakby
5 etapów:
oświecenie,
zakosztował daru niebieskiego,
stał się uczestnikiem Ducha świętego,
Zakosztował wspaniałości słowa Bożego
i mocy przyszłego wieku.

--------------------------------
taki człowiek podobnie jak nienawrócony grzesznik ma wolność decyzji czy  
chce pokutować,
czy nie. Biblia mówi, że grzech usidla (Hebr. 12:1) i zatwardza serca.
Oczywiście, że Bóg może, ale nie robi tego wbrew woli człowieka.

2Ptr.2:20
Jeśli bowiem przez poznanie Pana i Zbawiciela, Jezusa Chrystusa wyzwolili  
się od brudów świata, lecz potem znowu w nie uwikłani dają im się  
opanować, to stan ich ostateczny jest gorszy niż poprzedni. (21) Lepiej  
bowiem byłoby dla nich nie poznać drogi sprawiedliwości, niż poznawszy ją,  
odwrócić się od przekazanego im świętego przykazania. (22) Sprawdza się na  
nich treść owego przysłowia: Wraca pies do wymiocin swoich, oraz: Umyta  
świnia znów się tarza w błocie.

Są to wyraźne świadectwa, że można odpaść od Boga i stracić zbawienie.
Ta Kalwinowska fałszywka świetnie się trzyma.

His Ashes Cry Out Against John Calvin

You are about to read an important part of church history from the  
Reformation period that has been so concealed in our day that very few  
people know the facts. Brace yourself for a shock.
On October 27, 1553 John Calvin, the founder of Calvinism, had Michael  
Servetus, the Spanish physician, burned at the stake just outside of  
Geneva for his doctrinal heresies!(1) Hence, the originator of the popular  
doctrine of "once saved, always saved" (known in certain circles as "the  
perseverance of the saints") violated the cry of the Reformation -- "Sola  
Scriptura" -- by murdering a doctrinal heretic without Scriptural  
justification. This event was something Calvin had considered long before  
Servetus was even captured, for Calvin wrote his friend, Farel, on  
February 13, 1546 (seven years prior to Servetus' arrest) and went on  
record as saying:
"If he [Servetus] comes [to Geneva], I shall never let him go out alive if  
my authority has weight."(2)
Evidently, in that day Calvin's authority in Geneva, Switzerland had  
ultimate "weight." This is why some referred to Geneva as the "Rome of  
Protestantism"(3) and to Calvin as the "Protestant 'Pope' of Geneva."(4)
During Servetus' trial, Calvin wrote:
"I hope that the verdict will call for the death penalty."(5)
All this reveals a side of John Calvin that is not well-known or very  
appealing, to say the least! Obviously, he had a prolonged, murderous hate  
in his heart and was willing to violate Scripture to put another to death  
and in a most cruel way. Although Calvin consented to Servetus' request to  
be beheaded, he acquiesced to the mode of execution employed. But why did  
Calvin have a death wish for Servetus?
"To rescue Servetus from his heresies, Calvin replied with the latest  
edition of his 'Institutes of the Christian Religion,' which Servetus  
promptly returned with insulting marginal comments. Despite Servetus's  
[sic] pleas, Calvin, who developed an intense dislike of Servetus during  
their correspondence, refused to return any of the incriminating  
material."(6)
"Convicted of heresy by the Roman Catholic authorities, Servetus escaped  
the death penalty by a prison break. Heading for Italy, Servetus  
unaccountably stopped at Geneva, where he had been denounced by Calvin and  
the Reformers. He was seized the day after his arrival, condemned as a  
heretic when he refused to recant, and burned in 1553 with the apparent  
tacit approval of Calvin."(7)
In the course of his flight from Vienne, Servetus stopped in Geneva and  
made the mistake of attending a sermon by Calvin. He was recognized and  
arrested after the service.(8)
"Calvin had him [Servetus] arrested as a heretic. Convicted and burned to  
death."(9)
 From the time that Calvin had him arrested on August 14th until his  
condemnation, Servetus spent his remaining days:
" ... in an atrocious dungeon with no light or heat, little food, and no  
sanitary facilities."(10)
Let it be noted that the Calvinists of Geneva put half-green wood around  
the feet of Servetus and a wreath strewn with sulfur on his head. It took  
over thirty minutes to render him lifeless in such a fire, while the  
people of Geneva stood around to watch him suffer and slowly die! Just  
before this happened, the record shows:
"Farel walked beside the condemned man, and kept up a constant barrage of  
words, in complete insensitivity to what Servetus might be feeling. All he  
had in mind was to extort from the prisoner an acknowledgement [sic] of  
his theological error -- a shocking example of the soulless cure of souls.  
After some minutes of this, Servetus ceased making any reply and prayed  
quietly to himself. When they arrived at the place of execution, Farel  
announced to the watching crowd: 'Here you see what power Satan possesses  
when he has a man in his power. This man is a scholar of distinction, and  
he perhaps believed he was acting rightly. But now Satan possesses him  
completely, as he might possess you, should you fall into his traps.'
When the executioner began his work, Servetus whispered with trembling  
voice: 'Oh God, Oh God!' The thwarted Farel snapped at him: 'Have you  
nothing else to say?' This time Servetus replied to him: 'What else might  
I do, but speak of God!' Thereupon he was lifted onto the pyre and chained  
to the stake. A wreath strewn with sulfur was placed on his head. When the  
faggots were ignited, a piercing cry of horror broke from him. 'Mercy,  
mercy!' he cried. For more than half an hour the horrible agony continued,  
for the pyre had been made of half-green wood, which burned slowly.  
'Jesus, Son of the eternal God, have mercy on me,' the tormented man cried  
 from the midst of the flames ...."(11)
Although we essentially have the same in the conversion of the repentant  
thief (Lk. 23:42,43 cf. Lk. 18:13) and the Scripture, "Everyone who calls  
on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Acts 2:21; Rom. 10:13), Farel  
still reckoned Servetus an unsaved man at the end of his life:
"Farel noted that Servetus might have been saved by shifting the position  
of the adjective and confessing Christ as the Eternal Son rather than as  
the Son of the Eternal God."(12)
"Calvin had thus murdered his enemy, and there is nothing to suggest that  
he ever repented his crime [sic]. The next year he published a defence  
[sic] in which further insults were heaped upon his former adversary in  
most vindictive and intemperate language."(13)
As the Roman Catholics of 1415 burned John Hus(14) at the stake over  
doctrine, John Calvin, likewise, had Michael Servetus burned at the stake.  
But was doctrine the only issue? Could there have been another reason, a  
political one?
"As an 'obstinate heretic' he had all his property confiscated without  
more ado. He was badly treated in prison. It is understandable, therefore,  
that Servetus was rude and insulting at his confrontation with Calvin.  
Unfortunately for him, at this time Calvin was fighting to maintain his  
weakening power in Geneva. Calvin's opponents used Servetus as a pretext  
for attacking the Geneva Reformer's theocratic government. It became a  
matter of prestige -- always the sore point for any dictatorial regime --  
for Calvin to assert his power in this respect. He was forced to push the  
condemnation of Servetus with all the means at his command."(15)
"Ironically enough, the execution of Servetus did not really bolster the  
strength of the Geneva Reformation. On the contrary, as Fritz Barth has  
indicated, it 'gravely compromised Calvinism and put into the hands of the  
Catholics, to whom Calvin wanted to demonstrate his Christian orthodoxy,  
the very best weapon for the persecution of the Huguenots, who were  
nothing but heretics in their eyes.' The procedure against Servetus served  
as a model of a Protestant heretic trial .... it differed in no respect  
 from the methods of the medieval Inquisition .... The victorious  
Reformation, too, was unable to resist the temptations of power."(16)
Is it possible for a man such as John Calvin to have been a "great  
theologian" and at the same time to act in this reprehensible way and  
afterwards show no remorse? Dear reader, do you have a heart that could,  
like John Calvin, burn another person at the stake?
Let us illustrate this another way. Suppose a man from your congregation  
with a reputation for being a spiritual leader captured your neighbor's  
dog, chained it to a stake, then used a small amount of green kindling to  
slowly burn the dog to death. What would you think of such a person,  
especially if he afterwards showed no remorse? Would you want him to  
interpret the Bible for you? To make the matter even worse for John  
Calvin, a person, unlike a dog, is created in the image of God! Like it or  
not, we can only conclude from this evidence that John Calvin's heart was  
darkened, and not enlightened, as a result of his murderous hate for  
Servetus. At best, Calvin was spiritually blinded by this hate and  
therefore, spiritually hindered from rightly dividing the word of  
truth.(17) At worst, which was apparently the case, John Calvin himself  
was unsaved, according to Scripture:
"But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually  
immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars --  
their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the  
second death" (Rev. 21:8).
"We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man  
who says, 'I know him,' but does not do what he commands is a liar and the  
truth is not in him" (1 Jn. 2:3,4).
"And you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding [continuing] in  
him" (1 Jn. 3:15, NKJV).
The Greek adds an important word to 1 Jn. 3:15 that is sometimes omitted  
in English translations. That word is "continuing" or "abiding" (NKJV) and  
states that murderous people don't have eternal life continuing in them.
Dear reader, since murderers are unsaved and John Calvin was a murderer,  
then Calvin was unsaved! Moreover, since the unsaved are darkened in their  
spiritual understanding (Eph. 4:18) and Calvin was unsaved based on  
Scripture, then Calvin was darkened in his spiritual understanding.
Jesus said we can "know" people by their fruit (Mt. 12:33) -- be it John  
Calvin or anyone else! Similarly, the Apostle John wrote:
"This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of  
the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God;  
nor is anyone who does not love his brother" (1 Jn. 3:10).
Can you say Calvin did what was "right" regarding Servetus? If not, then  
doesn't this make him a "child of the devil," according to this verse and  
others already cited? Though some will rant and rave over this conclusion,  
can we Scripturally come to any other?
No other evidence is needed to objectively assess Calvin's spiritual  
status. However, two other men should also be briefly mentioned:
"Two other famous episodes concerned Jacques Gruet and Jerome Bolsec.  
Gruet, whom Calvin considered a Libertine, had written letters critical of  
the Consistory and, more serious, petitioned the Catholic king of France  
to intervene in the political and religious affairs of Geneva. With  
Calvin's concurrence he was beheaded for treason. Bolsec publicly  
challenged Calvin's teaching on predestination, a doctrine Bolsec, with  
many others, found morally repugnant. Banished from the city in 1551, he  
revenged himself in 1577 by publishing a biography of Calvin that charged  
him with greed, financial misconduct, and sexual aberration."(18)
How Should A Heretic Be Dealt With?
How should a heretic or any false teacher be dealt with, that is, if one  
is willing to abide by the Biblical guidelines? Paul wrote Titus and  
touched upon this very issue, which first starts out as a qualification  
for eldership in the church:
"He [the elder] must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been  
taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those  
who oppose it. For there are many rebellious people, mere talkers and  
deceivers, especially those of the circumcision group. They must be  
silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things  
they ought not to teach -- and that for the sake of dishonest gain" (Titus  
1:9-11).
Clearly, then, a false teacher should be "silenced," not by having him  
killed, as Calvinism's founder did, but by refuting him with Scripture.  
This is the true Christian method.
If Calvin's example is the standard, the next time the Jehovah's Witnesses  
or Mormon missionaries come to our door, we should physically overpower  
them, bind them to a stake, and make human candles out of them. Can you  
imagine a professing Christian doing this, much less a reputed theologian?  
If done, could you force yourself to believe such a person was truly saved  
and adhere to his unique, doctrinal distinctives?
Also, false teachers should be openly named as Paul openly named Hymenaeus  
and Philetus who were destroying the faith of some of the Christians whom  
Paul knew:
"Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and  
Philetus, who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the  
resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some"  
(2 Tim. 2:17,18).
This is also an important preventative against a false teacher's spiritual  
poison.
Why did Calvin grossly violate these Scriptural guidelines? Since Paul's  
Holy Spirit inspired directives (and example) regarding how to deal with a  
heretic were diametrically opposed by Calvin, isn't it safe to assume that  
Calvin was governed by a different spirit than Paul had? Moreover, why  
have these facts about John Calvin's life rarely been mentioned in our  
day? The answer to this last question is obvious. They are both an  
embarrassment and refutation to the Calvinists who proudly refer to  
themselves by his name! Since they are the evangelical majority and it is  
their power and influence that has the greatest sway over what is  
disseminated throughout our land and even the world, this information  
about their founder is seldom, if ever, heard. Many people are only now  
learning the shocking facts about Calvinism's founder as they read them  
for the first time!
"No event has more influenced history's judgment of Calvin than the role  
he played in the capture and execution of the Spanish physician and  
amateur theologian Michael Servetus in 1553. This event has overshadowed  
everything else Calvin accomplished and continues to embarrass his modern  
admirers."(19)
Three important questions remain: (1) Can John Calvin be Scripturally  
justified for murdering Michael Servetus? (2) Does a murderous hate,  
according to Scripture, render one spiritually unable to accurately  
interpret the Scriptures? (3) Can a murderer be saved according to Rev.  
21:8?
All these answers have a bearing on the credibility of Calvin's popular  
"perseverance of the saints" doctrine, among others. Regretfully, Calvin's  
version of Christianity is the prevalent view in our land, but is his view  
Scriptural? To answer in the affirmative is to say that Calvin's double  
predestination is true, that is, some are predestined for Heaven and  
others are predestined for Hell without free choice on their part!(20)  
This would violate many Scriptures, especially 2 Pet. 3:9:
"The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.  
He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come  
to repentance."
Furthermore, Calvin's teachings declare Jesus' work on the cross was NOT  
infinite, because according to that teaching, He did not shed His blood  
for every human, but only for the elect -- those predestined to be saved.  
This is clearly refuted by 1 Jn. 2:2:
"He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also  
for the sins of the whole world."
Also, his "perseverance of the saints" doctrine would assert that God's  
power will keep a truly saved person secure, in spite of grievous sins  
committed after regeneration and/or any doctrinal heresies that would be  
embraced, thus violating many Scriptural examples and warnings which prove  
the opposite!
It should be apparent that, from the founder down to us today, the  
"perseverance of the saints" doctrine (most commonly known as "once saved  
always saved") has most often been a "license for immorality" taught under  
the banner of grace. See Jude 3,4. As Calvin's own theology allowed for  
his actions against Servetus, many in our day are sexually immoral, liars,  
drunkards, filled with greed, etc., while they profess salvation. This is  
a ramification of Calvin's perverted grace message -- a teaching which has  
"spread like gangrene" from a man who could openly burn another to death  
and for the remaining 10 years and seven months of his life, never  
publicly repent of his crime.
"Servetus' ashes will cry out against him as long as the names of these  
two men are known in the world."(21)

wrong about the Trinity, regarding his rejection of infant baptism,  
Servetus said, "It is an invention of the devil, an infernal falsity for  
the destruction of all Christianity" (Ibid., p. 186.) Many Christians of  
our day could only give a hearty "Amen" to this statement made about  
infant baptism. However, this is why, in part, Servetus was condemned to  
death by the Calvinists!] (return)
