 For a significant duration, object-oriented theology has been the prevailing system of belief, resulting in adverse effects on the spiritual well-being of its adherents. The lack of a proper balance between human accountability and divine authority has impacted both the individual's psyche and their view of the importance of objects. It is important to note that this issue is not solely a result of hyper Calvinism, but rather of Arminianism. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that Calvinists do not preach a pure form of Calvinism, but rather a version that has been influenced by the object-oriented mindset. In contemporary times, individuals may prioritize various goals, including book sales, church activities, the social gospel, ethical persuasion, oral testimony, social manipulation, academia, or tertiary education.Two paradigms are frequently utilized in spreading the gospel: object worship and spiritual worship. While various practices, such as church facilities, programs, intercultural religious connections, and commerce-based churches, prioritize object worship, there is comparatively less attention given to spiritual worship. To promote a more significant emphasis on spiritual worship, it is crucial to revisit the fundamental principles of the supernatural gospel and prioritize preaching that highlights free grace and God sovereignty, even if it may result in offending some individuals.In order for the message to have a meaningful impact, it must surpass the prevalent culture of idolizing material possessions that is predominant among the current generation of Egyptians who are seeking their desired destination. Calvinism emphasizes the crucial significance of spiritual welfare, with all religious teachings aiming to enhance one's spiritual condition, encompassing their beliefs, ethics, as well as their physical and emotional well-being. The all-encompassing materialistic mindset has resulted in ignoring the notable historical distinctions in this aspect. Therefore, the message should concentrate on the ethical and historical requirements of the human spirit.Deviation from Calvin's teachings presents a potential danger of producing a perplexed cohort of Arminians. The concept of choice is not pragmatic, but rather founded only on personal agency. It is imperative that we consciously choose to trust either in the supernatural influence of Christ or our own capabilities, as the object itself holds no intrinsic power.The promotion of Calvinism is likely to have a substantial impact on society by leading to spiritual transformation. Our emphasis should be on the importance of faith-based justification, the essential role of Christ's authority, and the significance of the soul and divine grace in the process of supernatural rebirth. It is imperative that we unify under a common confession and steadfastly adhere to our beliefs.
