Answer:

E. election can be gained through good works.

Explanation:

John Calvin born on the 10th of July, 1509 was a French pastor, reformer and theologian during the times of protestant reformation in Geneva, Switzerland.

John Calvin was a calvinist because he preached a doctrine that was later known as calvinism.

In his work titled "Institutes of the Christian Religion." he stated that, all human beings are wicked and weak; thus, no matter what, only those who were predestined would be privileged to go to heaven.

Basically, the doctrine of calvinism known as predestination emphasizes that, God has chosen or selected some people to be destroyed eternally and others to be saved (go to heaven). Also, those people who have been predestined for eternal destruction cannot be saved even by their good works.

<em>Hence, the statement which best describes John Calvin's conception of Predestination are;</em>

I. Faith is a gift from God, freely given and not something that can be earned .

II. The choices one makes in life do not improve one’s chances of entering

heaven .

III. An individual’s actions accord with God’s will .

IV. The elect are chosen by God.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of having the presidentchosen by the people rather than the legislature?

quester [9]

Answer:

If/when chosen by the people you get a more appealing outcome.

Because... The determining factors are YOUR family, friends, and town-folk. It's the people you grew up with. So you all are aware of the same problems in your city/state and you are more than likely both thinking of the same solution. Where as, if chosen by a legislature, you have a bunch of well paid senators who may not see all the things normal people do since they work and live indoors and nowhere near the problems most of the time. They don't care for the middle to lower classes. Most just care about the rich and how to make themselves better and wealthier. It sucks to see, and even more to be living in this kind of world but it's just how it is.

nirvana33 [79]

The us priorities with other countries should be export goods from other countries one because we dont produce our own,we recieve goods from other countries like china,mexico, or other foreign country for exaple china our companys exploit them and therefore investors,companys,should regulate there terms.
illegal immigrants from other countries like south America or the Mediterranean should be treated with ease and give them a policy to stay for several days until they get an approval for political aid if not send them back to where they came from and not just throw them of to a country they dont know or give them prison time,therefore the U.S should treat illegal immigrants like actual human beings.
