"Psalm 139 and the Doctrines of Grace" a sermon by Pastor Nelson Turner of AV1611Reformation.com delivered 9-27-2009

This sermon by Pastor Nelson Turner of www.AV1611Reformation.con was preached on the Lord's day September 27, 2009 from the inspired word of God in the English language, the AV1611 King James Bible. This sermon addresses biblical proof for the so called "Doctrines of Grace" which have come to be associated with John Calvin, but, as Pastor Turner proves, are clearly manifested in the word of God as found in Holy Scripture. Of greatest importance in properly apprehending the doctrines of grace is realization that firstly that God's foreknowledge relates to His knowledge of what He will do and the means wherby He'll do it, NOT foreknowledge of what any human or humanity will do. "Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world." (Acts 15:18); and secondly that God does NOT predestinate our sins. God is NOT the author of sin. The "Doctrines of Grace" are entirely consistent with the word of God as found everywhere in the Bible. The dilution of these doctrines in the heresies encompassed by Arminianism necessarily results in inconsistencies with Holy Scripture such as universalism, and God's action being contingent in some way upon man's will and cooperation. Bible verses from the AV1611 King James Bible cited in this sermon include: Acts 13:48; 15:18; 9:4/ Ephesians 1:1-9/ John 8:47/ Revelation 3:14-18/ Matthew 20:16/ Psalm 139 (entire).
