What is the difference between the soul and the spirit?
What is the difference between the soul and the spirit?: What is the difference between the soul and the spirit? If both the soul and spirit are immaterial, how are they distinct from each other?
What are the pseudepigrapha?
What are the pseudepigrapha?: What is pseudepigrapha? Do any of the pseudepigraphal books belong in the Bible?

Calvinism
Calvinism in ALL its guises teaches the following_
God CONTROLS all things.
This is THE Calvinistic definition of sovereign, a word not found in scripture.
They also say that God ORDAINS all things, but they cannot say which of the 15 words in Hebrew and Greek, translated as ordained, they mean, since it is not scriptural.
So here is the next error, but ALL versions of Calvinism teach it
God's will cannot be disobeyed.
immediately they are debunked because sin is specifically prohibited by God, thus not what he wants, not what he controls people to do.
Their response is that God has a SECRET will. and it is the SECRET will that cannot be disobeyed. In any event, they do claim that God controls all to sin and ordains 100% of sin, his desire for sin occurring is to glorify him.
So when a saved person sins, they claim God gets glory from it.
When Paul rebukes the Jews in Romans 2, telling them that God is BLASPHEMED because of the Jew's hypocrisy, they claim he is glorified by being blasphemed.
Each time they make a claim their claims are debunked so they fall back to another invented, anit-christian doctrine.
They claim that the reason for sin is so God can show ALL his attributes, including wrath. The problem is, wrath is not an attribute, it is a reaction. His Holiness is an attribute, and so is mercy., so is love.

Sheep
Luke 15:3-7 in the ESV "What man of you, having a
hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in
the open country, and go after the one that is lost? And when he has found it,
he lays it on his shoulders rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls
together his friends and his neighbors saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I
have found the sheep that was lost.' Just so, I tell you, there will be more
joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous
persons who need no repentance.
Twice in the verses above, He mentions the one lost sheep
the ninety-nine were not lost. So, if you are saved you are not lost. The lost
sheep is the sinner who repents and makes things right with God. The other
ninety-nine people need no repentance. They are already righteous.
Holy and righteous
Being righteous means that by our behavior we have been accepted by God. Noah was declared righteous by God through his behavior. He was blameless before God meaning he did right in Gods sight and he walked with God meaning he had a relationship with God (Genesis 6:9). Being righteous depends on faith.
Holy means to be separate. Set apart from sin with a high standard of moral character. It refers to our moral quality. When we apply the word to God it means that God has separated himself from sin.
Holy is referring to a person's character while righteousness is referring to a person's behavior.
