I shared how God spoke to me the night before I left TF. He showed me OSAS was false, and i was in danger of losing my relationship with Him if I chose Berg over Him. I ahd already memorized all the verses that SEEMED to teach Calvinism--GOD showed me otherwise--I was NOT "taught by man"; as Paul said.
Phil 2 showed me that God chose for Christ, in the Trinity, a "punctuated sovereignty" for Christ; Who emptied Himself. He is the Alpha and the Omega, and was dead, but is alive forevermore.
He can "abbreviate" (if you will, or even if you WON'T--free will/sovereigny joke!) His sovereignty anytime He chooses.
He did so with Pharaoh--who hardened his heart 9 times, and then God hardened it the tenth. 2 Thes 2 warns of that as well. So does Rev 2--those were actual SERVANTS OF JESUS CHRIST Jezebel was seducing to sexual/idolatrous immorality. It was a CHOICE; clearly.
