However, the question for Jesus and Calvinism is not “Is Jesus rough?” but “Are the character and teachings of Jesus compatible with the core claims of Calvinism?” Namely, God’s creating the reprobate so he could damn them forever. When we look at Jesus, are we attracted to Calvinism or repelled away from it? Or perhaps most to the point, does the God of Calvinism accurately depict the God revealed in Jesus?
