Puritan Board Freshman
Hi all,
I was watching a YouTube video about Paul Washer where he expressed his concern about how false teachers and cults such as Mormonism leading people astray and keeping people from the Gospel.
I saw in the comments section (a scary place to find oneself) a young woman who was very anti-calvinism that asked the question: "If all Christians are preordained to glory, then why would someone like this be so concerned with these false teachers leading people away? Wouldn't they be preordained to this destruction and wouldn't you be worrying about things out of your control and for people God didn't choose to save?"
Of course, this is a prime example of misunderstanding the doctrines of Grace and treading into hyper-calvinism territory, but my thought is that we are supposed to love people and don't know who the elect are so of course we want them to hear the true gospel and get away from heresy and know the true God.
That being said, I'd love to hear your input on this and get other perspectives on why we should care about false teachers and cults when God has preordained His people. Of course, the Bible tells us to be wary of false teachers and to preach the gospel to all, but like I said, would love more perspective.
