Predestination, true or false

Calvinism is the belief that God has predestined our future. So once a person is born, they are predestined to become a christian, or they are predestined to become an atheist. So they are practically saying that God gets to choose who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. Doesn't that sound wrong, that God picks people to go to heaven? If he chose that, then why not let everyone go to heaven? Why make us challenge the world through our struggles if we are just going to end up rotting in hell in the end? I don't believe that God would predestine people to go to heaven, it does say in the Bible that we are predestined by God but it also says that God gives us free will. So in the end, whether we go to heaven or not is through our earthly choices. Now, I do believe that when someone is born God knows the choices they will make,so he knows who will choose sin over righteousness/ hell over heaven, but those are because of our choices not because of the choices God makes for us. So I will stand on the side that is against Calvinism. Still there is the question about Paul's writing sin Ephesians. How I interpret it is that God has predestined us with the will to make our own choices. Also in Ephesians 1:5, it say's: "He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will". Now I don't see where it says we are predestined to go to heaven or hell, it say's we are predestined to always be with him. This can be in either heaven or hell depending on the choices we make. I believe this verse also applies to what the chapter says later on about how we are predestined to be chosen by him. We are all chosen to be with him that is what I believe Paul is saying, whether it be in heaven or hell, God will always be right next to us. So every choice w make is according to our own will, it is not predestined by God. So I stand on the side against Calvinism because I cannot believe in a God who chooses for people to suffer eternally in hell.
                                          

how to compassion

In Romans, Paul talks about the sins of eating the food that will hurt others. He also talks about how important it is to treat others with respect, love, and compassion. He say's this knowing that there are people who judge others for eating from rich food and those eating from poor food. This Passage is to show those that judge others and disobey the laws of authority are only going to suffer from their attitudes. 

This still relates to people of this time, even in christian churches and school's. Everyone has a problem with obeying authority and treating others like they would themselves. Most children and teens go to school to just hang out with friends, not thinking about how much effort the authority puts into them or how what they say can effect the other students in a bad way. The reason we have school is to learn and respect those who teach and to show kindness to everyone around them; but all we can think about is whether that someone likes me, or I wonder if I can say "that" without getting criticized, etc. People who have already made a life of their own are no different. They always complain about how stupid the economy is even if only in their heads. They also complain how their boss at work is to hard on them. They don't realize that their authority has just as any problems as they do, and we don't realize it either. 

This is why Paul teaches us to be kind and humble, because of your selfish attitude, friends will ignore you and authorities will give up on helping you.So as a challenge, for the next month, show everyone around you that you care, don't just say you care show it with your actions. When a teacher is talking, sit up straight and look the in the eye's with the intent to learn. When someone you know is having it rough, show them compassion in any form possible, listen to their problems, bring them a gift, even just showing them a smile can make a person's day so much better. Do this and you will know the relationship that God wishes to share with everyone, and through this kindness God will also show his everlasting relationship with you. 

Pauls roman message

In Paul's message, he describes all necessary requirements to enter the kingdom of God. In his message he references many times the ten commandments. He believes that these commandments must be taken very seriously, for if not he believes you will become corrupt by the wild natures of others and you will not be allowed access into heaven. So he believes that you must repel those who drag you down, and accept those who search for wisdom. For if we do we will be free from death.  "For there is no condemnation for those who live in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." -Romans 8:1-2.
Through these messages, a non-believer might see God as a cruel and unloving God. The reason is because, though Paul speaks the truth, Paul makes it sound like once you have broken the ten commandments, then there is no way to enter heaven. This is wrong however, so in order to make them understand, you should explain Paul's meaning in further detail.
In these passageways, a non-believer might find it easy to understand the factor of staying away from people who commonly break the ten commandments. the reason being is that most of there addictions and bad habit's comes from the friends they hang out with who are non-believers. So when they see this they will know exactly why you should stay away from such people because they have their own personal experiences. So hopefully when a non-believer reads this passage they will relate and fin the truth through the scriptures, through christian friends, the word, and the holy spirit.

Death in bible terms

Death in concern to the bible, is not like death in comparison to atheism or Hinduism. Death in Gods world is a true and hopeful way of death. For once we die we won't be dirt in the ground or be reincarnated as another being, we will live in glory in heaven. Paul believes this but he also believes in the resurrection. In Paul's view, when the ressurection happens, we the people will be split between believers and sinners. Once this happens, sinners will serve an eternity in hell, while believers will become eternal spiritual beings who live a sinless and workless life in heaven and earth. This process, though complicated, fills a gap in our life's. It completely cancels out such thoughts as: my life is pointless, who cares if I die, if I'm going to die why not just end it now. This is why people are drawn to Christ, beliefs like Hinduism and atheism bring no hope for our future. When people don't know the word of God then they will never know the love of God which keeps them from bodily abuse or murder. That's why Gods word is important, that's why we need to have hope for the future for we are not just dust in the wind, we are children of God.

the sins of nature

In Corinthians Paul talks alot about sex, marriage, and being single. How he applies it is mostly true but peoples opinion today may vary when it comes to these. Paul sais that any person to remarry is not welcome in heaven. Back then that may have been true in most cases, but today that theory varies in opinion. Some people remarry because of mistakes in their last marriage, or for other reasons, but just because hey made mistakes doesn't mean they cant repent, so in my opinion it is still very possible to enter into heaven if you accept your mistakes.
Another example concerning marriage and sex is dating. Back then there wasn't such a thing as dating, so Paul couldn't talk about it back then. When it comes to dating, it can be good or bad considering who you are, some people have no self control and will do what ever they can to take advantage of the situation. Other people however, are kind people who want to date because they are truly in love with their opposite sex, and will only do what will make the other sex happy. So when it comes to dating you should only do it if you think your ready. So when it comes to the opposite sex, show loyalty and love, and if poor situations in relationships come. then repent to God and show that that outcome is not the outcome you wanted. So follow Paul's rules and you will surely be granted entrance into the kingdom of God
