“For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.”                                                                                                                                               (Psalm 5)

“As it is written, Jacob have I loved but Esau have I hated.”  (Romans 9)

 

“Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. Fear not I am with thee….                                                                                                                                             (Isaiah 43)

 

Reader, Examine the above Passages and familiarize yourself with them.  The first passage cannot be more clear, God hates workers of iniquity period. These are those that will not believe.  In the second (2nd) passage it is as clear as the Chrystal sea in Heaven God chose to love Jacob and God Chose to hate Esau.  Before this verse, Paul writes that God decided to love Jacob and hate Eaua BEFORE they were born so that ELECTION MIGHT STAND.  Reader, If God elects some….many, that means He chose to pass over others.  Reader, i don’t know what you have been taught, but what you have just read is sound doctrine straight from the Word of God and not from a man.

God loves His chosen, His elect, His jewels. And God hates the workers of iniquity or those that have not been chosen to be redeemed by Christ.  You may think as a carnal sinner and say, “that’s not fair.”  Reader, if this is you, know this….you take the sinner’s side over God’s.  You have a choice and you think the sinner has a choice, but you deny God His Free Will Choice… I understand, these are doctrines that you may have never heard before, But Reader, This is the teaching of God.  Take a concordance and look up each time the word elect is written. The doctrine of election is almost on every page of Scripture in one (1) way or another.

I was inspired by one (1) of my daughters to write this article.  My daughter wrote a school paper on the fact that God does NOT love everybody. Her teacher did not speak against this essay…good for him; methinks he knows the truth that others are blinded to….not only does God not love everyone, He hates those He does not love.  My daughter (so proud) shared this doctrine with her friends and they were shocked. They had never heard such a thing….God doesn’t love every one? This is what everyone believes, even SINNERS. CHRIST-IANS, SINNERS WHO HATE GOD AND REBEL AGAINST HIM THINKS GOD LOVES THEM!!!  and so do YOU if you deny the doctrine of election.

I know what you are thinking……” God tells us to love our enemies, so how can He tell us to love enemies, if HE HATES them?”  Reader, Biblical love is not what you think it is.  Biblical love has nothing to do with affection or feeling.  It has everything to do with being kind, it is praying for those that think little of you, it is blessing those that curse you, it is doing good to them that hate you, or OVERCOMING evil with good…OVERCOMING as in gaining victory over.  Reader, we are the children of the Highest and Holiest AND the siblings of the Christ , Who is not ashamed to call us brethren…we are above the world’s way of thinking. We do not reward evil with evil…..God Forbid….NEVER……we OVERCOME evil with GOoD.

Reader, if you must insist upon God loving everyone, then you must disagree with Christ when He told the Pharisees that they would die in their sin. If you insist upon God loving everone, then you are saying God will cast some of those He loves into Hell….don’t say, “No! it’s the sinner’s choice to go to Hell….Christ-ian!!! God sends persons to Hell AND it’s decided before they are born….remember Jacob and Esau??? AND if you insist upon God loving everyone and conceding then that He will cast some of those He loves into Hell, Why are YOU so confident in you salvation. A syllogism to clarify:
*God casts some of His beloved into Hell for all eternity.
* You are one (1) of His beloved.
*Therefore, you may be cast into Hell.

Do you now see?  God chooses whom He will love, God is completely free and just in this choosing. Christ died specifically, personally, peculiarly, and Substitutionally ONLY FOR THOSE HE CHOSE TO LOVE and not for those that will be cast to Hell.  Reader, we are told by John that God loved us before we loved Him….what does that mean for those that do not love God?  Are you catching on?   Sinners do not reject Christ….Christ rejected them first (1st).

If you choose to continue to believe God loves everyone, you goagainst Scripture and the God Who inspired those Scriptures.  In the Book of Joshua, it is written that God lead the Cannanites into a war with Israel for the sole purpose of UTTERLY DESTROYING them. Samson fell in love with a Philistine woman so that God would have an occasion to come against the Philistines and Samson would be the start of God’s deliverance of Israel from the Philitine occupation.  Did God love those that Samson killed?

Did God love the Cannanites?  Did God love the Hittites, Jebusites,  Did God love the Edomites, the descendents of the hated Esau? No He did not, Malachai spells it out clearly, God hate Esau and God hated Esau’s descendents, the Edomites.  Do you really think God loved the Pharisee, who saw to the death of His Only Begotten Son? OF COURSE NOT, READER, THAT IS THE ANSWER. The Third (3rd) passage from above speaks to the fact that God killed societies, tribes, nations, groups so that Israel (and the Church) would prosper; Reader, did God love those that were killed for the sake of Israel and the spiritual Israel, the Church?

Christ told the Pharisees, point blank, that they would be the means of His death, He told them that the love of God was not in them, He told them that they were not among His sheep and then He told them they would die in their sin. Did God love the Pharisee that murdered His Son?

This doctrine should not be looked upon as a hard doctrine or an unfair doctrine. God owes no one anything. The fact that He chooses to save some speaks to His Grace and Mercy. God is not unkind to those He hates for they want nothing to do with Him; Heaven would be Hell for them.  Do you imagine a Christ-hating sinner being in Heaven and singing praises unto Him? Reader, you are no longer a child in VBS. You are a grown- up.

The solid and heavy doctrine of Election is a grown-up doctrine. It is a fundamental doctrine, and it is a foundational doctrine. If one goes wrong with the doctrine of election, all his theological positions will be faulty and founded upon sinking sand. Those who deny the doctrine of Election are those that have not read their Bibles; they are those who were told what the Bible says and that was good enough for them.
