Does God Determine Unbelief?

Dr. Leighton Flowers walks through some recent exchanges on Twitter X after producing a poll which asked...   TRUE OR FALSE: "IF CALVINISM IS TRUE, then my unwillingness to adopt Calvinism is just as under the sovereign control of God as the reprobate's unwillingness to adopt Christianity."   An overwhelming majority of Calvinists replied "true" and Dr. James White even engaged by adding: "And if Calvinism is true, then Herod, and Pontius Pilate, and the Romans and the Jews, did what they did in the crucifixion of Jesus freely and responsibly, and were held accountable for doing so, and, what they did was "whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur" (Acts 4:28). As I have said for almost a decade now, we believe all the Bible says, you believe some of what the Bible says, and reject the rest."   This sounds like something we should discuss, since once again White implicitly admits that he believes God deceives His own children (all non-Calvinists) by determining us to reject Calvinism and White actually employs a proof-text about God using pagans in their already rebellious condition to bring about redemption for the whole world as His evidence of this!   To get your copy of Dr. Flowers new book, Drawn By Jesus, go here: https://a.co/d/6s767Ey   To SUPPORT this broadcast, please click here: https://soteriology101.com/support/   Subscribe to the Soteriology 101 Newsletter here: www.soteriology101.com/newsletter   Is Calvinism all Leighton talks about? https://soteriology101.com/2017/09/22/is-calvinism-all-you-talk-about/   DOWNLOAD OUR APP: LINK FOR ANDROIDS: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...
