Calvinism's Roman Catholic Origin: Part 5

You can’t schedule repentance like an appointment, and you can’t bargain with death for “a few more minutes.” We start with the Bible’s blunt urgency: God says now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation. If you’ve ever told yourself you’ll get right with God later, we challenge that delay head-on and point you back to what Christ finished at Calvary and what it means to be saved and born again. Then we pivot into a focused teaching from our ongoing series on the Roman Catholic roots of amillennial Calvinism. A common accusation says the pre-tribulation rapture and futurism were invented as a Jesuit strategy to move the spotlight off the Pope as Antichrist. We explain why we’ve never taught “the Pope is the Antichrist,” and we read quotes from respected Reformed writers who also reject that identification, exposing the irony at the heart of the conspiracy claim. Finally, we open the Scriptures for a practical Bible study on the Antichrist. From 1 John 4 we distinguish the spirit of Antichrist already at work in the world from the future Antichrist. From 2 Thessalonians 2 we emphasize the plain language about the man of sin, a single individual who exalts himself and is destroyed by the brightness of Christ’s coming.
