Against Common Grace

Psalm 145:9 is often use as proof for God having common grace toward every single human being who has, is, and will be. But in Psalm 136 - the psalmist praises God's mercy when he destroyed the Egyptians and Israel's enemies. Perhaps it is time we start reading and believing what the Bible alone says rather than what the "scholars" have said?

Winnen Russ said, "Kirk, You don't even have to 'back up' to Ps 136. The Calvinists who use Ps 145:9 to say God 'in a cents' loves everybody, *never* go to verse 20 of the same psalm: 'The Lord preserveth all that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.' Some common grace! Calvinists don't believe in Antithesis. They read the Bible the same way they read Calvin--they read *into* the Bible--never 'out of' it."
