I'm in a process of having meetings with the Pastor of my church to discuss calvinism/arminianism. I thought it would be handy to type up a list of questions that can't be answered properly by arminians. Here's what I got so far:
When we are in heaven will we have free will? Will people ever sin again?
If God loves everyone, why would he give them the option of going to hell? If he really loved them would he not force them to believe rather than let them suffer in hell for eternity?
Why did God not make a world in such a way that everyone freely chose him?
Who is more loving? A person who throws a rope to a person trying to drown themself? Or someone who jumps in and pulls the person out?
If God is not sovereign over the will of man, why do we pray for salvation of the lost?
What is the point of election if God is only choosing those who who forsees will already choose him?
Did Jesus die to save everyone in the whole world?
Did he succeed?
When Jesus died was he a substitute for the entire world?
How can God punish Jesus for a sinners crime AND also punish the SINNER in hell for eternity?
If everyones sins have been paid for by Jesus on the cross, then why do some people go to hell?
Is unbelief a sin?
If so, then didn’t Jesus die for all their sins?
If not, then why do they suffer in hell for something that isn’t a sin? (Owen)
Did God know who would accept Jesus in the future when Jesus died on the cross?
Why would God place the sin of people whom he knew would never repent on Jesus?
What is the ultimate difference between a Christians who goes to heaven and a sinner who goes to hell?
If I chose to believe then don’t I have reason to boast? Eph 2:8
Anyone got any more good ones?
