The Lord created the wicked for the day of evil!!!

[CCWoody]

[bible]Proverbs 16:4[/bible]

This is the truth of the Scripture for all to see and there is no denying it. But, what does this mean? For the Calvinist, this is a clear and concise declaration of the Doctrine of Reprobation. What does it mean that the LORD God made the wicked for the day of evil? What is it to be created for a day of evil?

The LORD hath made all things for Himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil" (Prov. 16:4). That the Lord made all, perhaps every reader of this book will allow: that He made all for Himself is not so widely believed. That God made us, not for our own sakes, but for Himself; not for our own happiness, but for His glory, is, nevertheless, repeatedly affirmed in Scripture-Revelation 4:11. But Proverbs 16:4 goes even farther: it expressly declares that the Lord made the wicked for the Day of Evil: that was His design in giving them being. But why? Does not Romans 9:17 tell us, "For the Scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew My power in thee, and that My name might be declared throughout all the earth"! God has made the wicked that, at the end, He may demonstrate His power"-demonstrate it by showing what an easy matter it is for Him to subdue the stoutest rebel and to overthrow His mightiest enemy. ~ A.W. Pink (The Sovereignty of God, Chapter 5: The Sovereignty of God in Reprobation)

Hey, y'all, my bark is worse than my bite, even if my aim is a perfect 100% (well, with modern weapons). You aren't made of venison, so your safe. I really am a teddy bear among Calvinists.

Bullseye brother!

The wicked are proxies for the sinning angels. Their destruction is part of God's vengeance. Like Garrison Keillor says, "Some people are just......... NO GOOD!"

There are none good.

What about the "black sheep" Calvinist that is evil?

He is not a true Christian. Unless he repents and believes He will not be in glory.

So basically, all true Christians will be the same as Calvinists in their glory. What about those that are not Calvinists?

Are they true Christians? Then, they will be Calvinists in glory.

I still find that statement to be Calvinist supremacy.

Confidence! If I was not convinced Calvinism was the fullness of the Gospel, I would abandon my theology and begin to search for the truth again. You'll see I'm right.

No doctrine can belong to the harmony of Scripture which is founded on a single text, because all essential principles of Christianity are delivered in more than one place. The whole system of revelation must be explained, so as to be consistent with itself.

Yeah, if you agree with Pink and those boys, then you might have slipped into the dark side of Christianity.

What makes you think this is taught in ONLY one text? BTW, it is nice to see that someone admits what this text does teach.

BTW, how many times does the Lord have to say something before it is the truth?
