6. John 3:16. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. I originally believed the sentence above is like an offer. It's "open" to anyone to accept. But now that I follow Calvinist theology, it is different. The sentence is not an offer at all; it is simply

If Calvinism is true, God is the author of sin, evil, innocent suffering and hell. That is to say, if Calvinism is true God is not all-loving and perfectly good. John 3:16 says "For God so loved

In John 3:16, the world is loved by God, with a love that gives the Son of God for its sake; in John 17:9, the Son of God refuses to pray for the world. The saints must not come to an understanding of the world of John 3:16 by a quick assumption, but by careful interpretation of the passage in the light of the rest of Scripture.

So, John 3:16 does not mean that Christ died for every single person in the world, but only for the elect from "every nation, tribe, people and language" (Rev 5:9; 7:9). But in the Arminian interpretation of John 3:16 we observe a god that died for every soul - even Satan's seed (Gen. 3:15 - the non-elect). We see a defeated god - a god that

It is ironic that in the same chapter, indeed in the same context, in which our Lord teaches the utter necessity of rebirth to even see the kingdom, let alone choose it, non-Reformed views find one of their main proof texts to argue that fallen man retains a small island of ability to choose Christ. It is John 3:16: "For God so loved the

Having been a Calvinist for 20 years, I have heard many people offer proof texts of why Calvinism is not aligned with the teaching of Holy Scripture. However, none is more common than John 3:16.

John 3:16 declares the duty of man—to believe in Christ for salvation. Yet, it doesn't address the natural ability of fallen man to fulfill this duty. The Necessity of Being Born Again (John 3:3-8): The discourse between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3 highlights the necessity of being 'born again' or 'born from above' for entering the Kingdom

John 3:1. There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: John 3:1-6. 1. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, called Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews. 2. He came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God, for no man can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him.

John 3:16 and Calvinism. July 4, 2008 , , Leave a comment. It has been contested that John 3.16 fits well within a Calvinistic framework. After all, as Calvinist R. C. Sproul has noted, whosoever will may come to Jesus. But, he continued, no one will ever will or want to come to Jesus. Thus God effectually draws unto Himself, through the

John 3:16-19. For God so loved the world, &c. — Here our Lord proceeds to inform Nicodemus, that men owed the blessings above mentioned to the free and immense love of God the Father, who desired their salvation with such ardency, that he sent his only-begotten Son to bestow it upon them; and that it is designed for all that will accept of it in the way God hath appointed.

Using John 3:16 as his primary text, Vines stated that Christ died for "my sins individually, the church's sins especially and the world's sins universally.". He called it a "logical fallacy" to use passages that speak of Christ's death being for individuals or the church as evidence that it is for those alone.

Jesus died to gather these people into one flock. The point is the same as John 10:15-16: "I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice." The "gathering" in John 11:52 and the "bringing" in John 10:16 are the same work of God.

Calvinists agree whole heartily with what John 3:16 says. John 3:16 is basically just a summary of the gospel. It does not say who will believe or why people will come to Christ. John 3:3 tells us that one must be born again to see the kingdom of God. John 6:37,6:44,6:65 all tell us who and why people will come to Jesus. Using this verse to try

In John 3:16 the word kosmos means the entire human creation (humankind in general), those he created in his own image. He also uses the word to represent: The entire universe, the Earth, World Systems, Humanity minus Christians, a large portion of people with a larger group, God's chose (Elect), Non-believers, Humankind, ect
