Is arminianism a false gospel?

The Gospel presentation...


Jeconiah ~ by Reverend RV

Matthew 1:1 KJV; The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

In the Bible there are two genealogies of Jesus; one in Matthew chapter 1 and another in Luke chapter 3. Since I can't draw a diagram here, let’s say the genealogy in Matthew is one column and the genealogy in Luke is another column. For the purpose of making this plain, let’s start both columns at the top with King David and move down to Jesus; tho Luke’s is reversed and ends with Adam. The genealogy in Matthew is that of Joseph the husband of Mary; and the genealogy in Luke is that of Mary the mother of Jesus…

Solomon, the son of King David is in Joseph’s line and this is the royal line of the kings of Israel; so Joseph would have been an heir to the throne of Israel; if the line of Kings had not been interrupted. Nathan, the son of King David is in the line of Mary. This line was not the royal line; but Mary’s line is also the bloodline of David. Long story short, King Solomon’s line was cursed by God because of the wicked King Jeconiah. God said that none of Jeconiah’s bloodline could ever be King; all of this can be studied. If Joseph was related to Jeconiah by blood, he could not be a King. But Jesus was a son of David through Mary, and because his mother married Joseph (who was supposed his father), Jesus was adopted into the royal line of Solomon; thus bypassing the curse of Jeconiah...

The moral of the story is that since God ended the royal heritage of Jeconiah by cursing that bloodline, it’s a miracle there is even a Christ in the first place. God made it entirely impossible for anyone else to be the Christ except Jesus! When someone tells you that they’re the Messiah today (as Louis Farrakhan, Reverend Moon or David Koresh claimed to be), we can tell them with full confidence that, "No, you are not. God cursed the line of the Jeconiah thousands of years ago." By God cursing the royal bloodline, it’s as if God put his personal stamp of approval on Jesus, because it is impossible for anyone else to have been the Christ; the King of the Jews. ~ There are many reasons to believe…

Only God can get around his own curse and still accomplish his Will. This is proof that there is a God! The Bible says Jesus is the beloved Son of God, and that we must hear him. Jesus said that if we have lusted for someone, we have committed adultery with them in our heart. He also said that if we have hated someone, we have murdered them in our heart; do you hear him? These are only 2 of the Ten Commandments, so you can see how they so easily condemn us to Hell. Sinners will be cast into the Lake of Fire as punishment, but we don’t have to go there! Jesus said he is the way, the truth and the life; and that no one goes to God his Father but through him. Trust in the resurrected Lord Jesus as your Savior and you will be cleansed from your Sins. Repent and Confess Jesus Christ as Lord. Find a Bible believing Church which will help you be his disciple…

Matthew 27:11 NASB; Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And Jesus said to him, "It is as you say."

Here are a few things you would think he was a calvinist below.

Jacob Arminius writes,

“IN the state of Primitive Innocence, man had a mind endued with a clear understanding of heavenly light and truth concerning God, and his works and will, as far as was sufficient for the salvation of man and the glory of God; he had a heart imbued with ‘righteousness and true holiness,’ and with a true and saving love of good; and powers abundantly qualified or furnished perfectly to fulfill the law which God had imposed on him. This admits easily of proof, from the description of the image of God, after which man is said to have been created, (Gen 1:26-27) from the law divinely imposed on him, which had a promise and a threat appended to it, (Gen 2:17) and lastly from the analogous restoration of the same image in Christ Jesus. (Eph 4:24, Col 3:10)


But man was not so confirmed in this state of innocence, as to be incapable of being moved, by the representation presented to him of some good, (whether it was of an inferior kind and relating to this animal life, or of a superior-kind and relating to spiritual life) inordinately and unlawfully to look upon it and to desire it, and of his own spontaneous as well as free motion, and through a preposterous desire for that good, to decline from the obedience which had been prescribed to him. Nay, having turned away from the light of his own mind and his chief good, which is God, or, at least, having turned towards that chief good not in the manner in which he ought to have done, and besides having turned in mind and heart towards an inferior good, he transgressed the command given to him for life. By this foul deed, he precipitated himself from that noble and elevated condition into a state of the deepest infelicity, which is under the dominion of sin. For ‘to whom any one yields himself a servant to obey,’ (Rom 6:16) and ‘of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage,’ and is his regularly assigned slave. (2 Pet 2:19)


or Christ has saIn this state, the free will of man towards the true good is not only wounded, maimed, infirm, bent, and weakened; but it is also imprisoned, destroyed, and lost. And its powers are not only debilitated and useless unless they be assisted by grace, but it has no powers whatever except such as are excited by Divine grace. Fid, ‘Without me ye can do nothing.’ St. Augustine, after having diligently meditated upon each word in this passage, speaks thus: ‘Christ does not say, without me ye can do but Little; neither does He say, without me ye can do any Arduous Thing, nor without me ye can do it with difficulty. But he says, without me ye can do Nothing! Nor does he say, without me ye cannot complete any thing; but without me ye can do Nothing.’ That this may be made more manifestly to appear, we will separately consider the mind, the affections or will, and the capability, as contra-distinguished from them, as well as the life itself of an unregenerate man.”


Arminius further writes,

“THIS is my opinion concerning the free-will of man: In his primitive condition as he came out of the hands of his creator, man was endowed with such a portion of knowledge, holiness and power, as enabled him to understand, esteem, consider, will, and to perform the true good, according to the commandment delivered to him. Yet none of these acts could he do, except through the assistance of Divine Grace. But in his lapsed and sinful state, man is not capable, of and by himself, either to think, to will, or to do that which is really good; but it is necessary for him to be regenerated and renewed in his intellect, affections or will, and in all his powers, by God in Christ through the Holy Spirit, that he may be qualified rightly to understand, esteem, consider, will, and perform whatever is truly good. When he is made a partaker of this regeneration or renovation, I consider that, since he is delivered from sin, he is capable of thinking, willing and doing that which is good, but yet not without the continued aids of Divine Grace.” https://www.ccel.org/ccel/arminius/works1.v.xii.html

Well so far I disagree with arminius. I dont believe adam ever had a heavenly mind in his natural state, even from the beginning. I dont believe he had any heavently truth about God, God in Christ. I believe his righteousness was the mere righteousness of man in its innoceny, and a far cry from the Righteousness of God revealed in the Gospel to the Elect, which i believe Eph 4:24 and Col 3:10 refer to the New Man

Okay, what does he mean " of and by himself" ? Does that mean without Gods assistance ? Many these days cry grace and Spirit enablement as in synergism regeneration.

His soteriology was that men are helpless by nature, but then God steps in and enables all men to choose him, but some don’t.

Classic Arms affirm that God sent saving grace towards all lost sinners, and that they can freely respond now, as God gives to all the chance to reject or accept jesus to save therm now!

Wrong.

He didn't send "saving grace" to them, according to Arms.
He sent "enabling" or "empowering" grace, which is not efficacious.

Question: "What is hyper-Calvinism and is it biblical?"

Answer: A simple definition is this: hyper-Calvinism is the belief that God saves the elect through His sovereign will with little or no use of the methods of bringing about salvation (such as evangelism, preaching, and prayer for the lost). To an unbiblical fault, the hyper-Calvinist over-emphasizes God’s sovereignty and under-emphasizes man’s responsibility in the work of salvation.

An obvious ramification of hyper-Calvinism is that it suppresses any desire to evangelize the lost. Most churches or denominations that hold to hyper-Calvinistic theology are marked by fatalism, coldness, and a lack of assurance of faith. There is little emphasis upon God’s love for the lost and His own people but rather an unbiblical preoccupation with God’s sovereignty, His election of the saved, and His wrath for the lost. The gospel of the hyper-Calvinist is a declaration of God’s salvation of the elect and His damnation of the lost.

The Bible clearly teaches that God is sovereign over the entire universe (Daniel 4:34-35), including the salvation of men (Ephesians 1:3-12). But with God’s sovereignty, the Bible also teaches that His motivation for saving the lost is love (Ephesians 1:4-5; John 3:16; 1 John 4:9-10) and that God’s means of saving the lost is the proclamation of His Word (Romans 10:14-15). The Bible also declares that the Christian is to be passionate and determined in his/her sharing with unbelievers; as ambassadors for Christ, we are to "beg" people to be reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:20-21).

Hyper-Calvinism takes a biblical doctrine, God’s sovereignty, and pushes it to an unbiblical extreme. In doing so, the hyper-Calvinist downplays the love of God and the necessity of evangelism.

Exactly, but truth won't stop people from going on ahead calling others hyper wrongly. They get to redefine it so they can cause division, and that is apparently the intent of the OP and those who give it a thumbs up.

God has provided enough saving grace towards all lost sinners to save any who "freely accept" jesus as their Lord is their way.
