They Dug Their Own Grave

And the God that answereth by fire, let Him be God, let Him be accounted and owned as the true God: followed, served and worshiped as such, since He has given such proofs of His existence,such demonstrations of His mighty power, such manifestations of His character, such a revelation of His will, all unbelief, indecision and refusal to give Him; His rightful place in our hearts and lives is utterly inexcusable. Then let Him be your God, by surrendering yourself to Him. He does not force Himself upon you, but condescends to present Himself to you: deigns to offer Himself to your acceptance, bids you choose Him by an act of your own will. Arthur W. Pink From the book "The Life Of Elijah" written in early to mid 30's. Arthur Pink was born April 1, 1886 in Nottingham, England & had a horrific childhood of severe abuse that I won't detail but is the reason he could only see God's sovereignty the way he did in his early years. When a glass has been shattered it can't hold water & likewise a heart that's been shattered can't receive love. He thought this was how it had to be & taught it without candy coating it. After a certain amount of years as God did inner healing to repair his soul he then began to see how God could be sovereign with allowance for choice. He first abandoned dispensationalism and was 4 point then ended at no more than 3 point with the proper Biblical understanding and even abundant life. Now "Reformed Theology" 5 point Calvinist teachers brought his name out since he was virtually unknown in his lifetime & love to push his early writings to use to keep people spellbound by "God's glory" & "sovereignty" & his stuff is very popular with 5 point Calvinists. Reformed teachers don't mention his later stuff. They're exploiting him to feather their own nests; Thankfully the Holy Spirit is light years smarter than them & will use their evil intentions to nudge people into his later writings & bring them out of this trash. They dug their own graves by pretending to respect him & make him known.
