Is there such a teaching found in the holy word of God that says righteousness is imputed or reckoned to the believer and God cannot see their sin? No, there is not, but let me show from Gods eternal word that the way John Calvin taught it is one of the many “doctrines of devils” that the apostle Paul speaks of as stated in I Timothy 4:1-2 that says. “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.” It was John Calvin that taught this doctrine that many of today’s Protestant denominations has accepted as the truth of the matter, which of course it is not. Calvinism teaches that the sinless, perfect life of Jesus is imputed or reckoned to the believer and God does not see their sins, but only sees the perfect obedience and righteousness of Jesus. This Calvinist view of eternal security can easily be proven to be of the devil, if we consider what Gods word has to say about the life that will be manifested through those that are truly saved. First of all is it not a fact that any person who believes this Calvinistic view still manifests a life of sin through their mortal body, as they continue living until they die? Yes, but they believe that God somehow does not see their sins, but only sees the perfect obedience of Christ.
If this be true, then why does Paul tell us this as stated in Titus 2:11-12 that says, “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world,” Is it not a fact that all who believe this doctrine are not manifesting a righteous and godly life through their mortal body as Paul says we should? How can God only see the perfect obedience and righteousness of Jesus if that certain life is not being manifested through them? God cannot see what is not being manifested can he? Since this doctrine teaches that God does not see their sins, then can you not see that a sinful life is still being manifested through them? God or Paul would certainly not contradict one another. So how can a person live righteous and godly if a life of sin is still being the life of these people? Do you honestly think and believe that God just counts them righteous even as they continue to live an ungodly and unrighteous life? What this belief actually boils down to is
that it’s a teaching inspired of Satan through his many ministers. Surely you know and understand that Satan has ministers don’t you? If not, then listen to what the apostle Paul tells us about them in what he says in II Corinthians 11:13-15 that says, “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” This Calvinistic teaching we hear in the world today is definitely a doctrine of devils. Paul clearly proves this by telling us that we should “LIVE” soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present life, but can you not see that the people who believe the teaching of Calvinism are not living this life, but are yet sinners living in complete rebellion against God? How then can God see the sinless and perfect life of Jesus when it absolutely is not being manifested through their mortal body? To teach that God imputes or just reckons them as righteous and godly without them actually living that kind of life is saying that God is as deceived as they are. Surely you don’t think and believe this do you? God cannot be deceived, but we can easily be deceived by believing what man has to say about it thinking it’s what Gods word teaches. This teaching also says that the believer of Calvinism cannot lose their salvation, but are eternally secure in Christ, but the way that Calvinism teaches is another lie of the devil. There is a scriptural truth concerning security in Christ, which I have posted within this web page. These people that believes in Calvinism are not in Christ, because Paul tells us these words stated in II Corinthians 5:17 that says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Are these people new creatures in Christ as they yet live in sin and rebellion against God?
A new creature is not an old creature. There is no sin in Christ, which refers to the spiritual body of Christ, which is the church. Anybody who believes they are in Christ and still commits sin has been deceived by Satan’s ministers, of which multiplied millions of confessing Christians has been today, as well as in times past. Does not the apostle Paul clearly reveal that those who are truly in Christ manifest the life of Christ, which is both a sinless and perfect life? The devilish doctrine of Calvinism teaches that God imputes or reckons them to be sinless and perfect, but that sinless and perfect life of Christ is not manifested through their mortal body. Listen to what Paul has to say regarding this in what he tells us in Galatians 2:20 that says, “ I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Is not Paul telling us here that its Christ that “lives” in him and its no longer him that lives? The word “lives” refers to the life being lived, which will be the very life of Christ being manifested through our mortal body, but Calvinism teaches that God does not see their sin, which would be a sinful life that they are still living. And listen again to what Paul tells us in Colossians 3:3-4 that says, “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Notice closely that Paul tells the church at Colosse in verse three that they are “dead” and their “life” is hid with Christ in God. Do you know what Paul means when he said they are dead? Well if not, then listen again to Paul in what he tells the church in Romans 6:1-2 these words saying, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” To be “dead to sin” means that we are no longer in bondage to it and we are no longer to respond to its power and influence. So look again at what Paul told the church at Colosse in Colossians 3:3 that they were dead and their life was hid with Christ in God. Now is the sinful life of a Calvinist hid with Christ in God, or is it not a fact that their old sinful life is still being manifested even as they confess to be saved and born of God? Yes, their old sinful life is till being manifested through them and the life of Christ is not manifested through them and further more Christ is not their life, as Paul tells us in Colossians 3:4 that says, “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” No, Christ is not their life, because they confess that God does not see their sin, but only sees the sinless and perfect life of Christ. How can God see the sinless and perfect life of Christ when they yet live in sin and rebellion against God?
God does not see the life of Christ through them, but he definitely can see their sins still being manifested. The word “see” means to see something with the eye, but how can God or anybody else see a life that is not able to be seen? So can you not see how devilish the doctrine of Calvinism is? “He that has an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
