The Overopinionated Pastor with Pastor-Teacher Jonathan Burris
Is Jeremiah 19:5 the Calvinism Killer? Many on social media say so. And we know what scholars there are on social media. Let's take "Paul (Not the Apostle)" for example: "Calvinists teach that the freewill of man cannot go against the counsel of God. Wrong: They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind: Jer 19:5 KJV" There are countless examples of this verse being used as the silver bullet to Calvinism. All you have to do is look at almost any response to me, Ron Henzel, or any other Calvinist active on X or Facebook. Well, that's it boys. Wrap it up and close up shop. It's been a fun ride. I guess we wouldn't have wasted so much time if we had only read the Bible. If we had just read, we would have realized what "Adam East" has told us. That the Bible is full of times that God did not get what he desired. So, is God sovereign or not? Anti-Calvinists like Leighton Flowers and his followers love to assert that Jeremiah 19:5 absolutely destroys Sproul's statement that there are no maverick molecules. Are there? Is God truly sovereign or not? Is Calvinism conquered with this one verse? Let's take a look.
