==A Prophet's Rebuke to Jacksmack77's Calvinist Ram Attack==

In the short sermon video titled ''A Calvinist Ram-Attacked!!!'', YouTuber and evangelist Jacksmack77 presents a graphic, satirical take on Calvinist theology. The video uses software called Animality to depict a cartoon Calvinist, dubbed "Johnny Too Cool," being fatally gored by a ram. Blood is shown in abundance. Overlayed on the video are textual critiques of Calvinism, set against poetic, mystical music whose lyrics include lines like ''Worship my flame'' and ''I am the sun.''

The first text appearing in the video is attributed to an anonymous Calvinist:
<blockquote>''so when i say that everything that exists, including evil is ordained by an infinite holy and all wise god to make the glory of christ shine more brightly , i mean that one way or the other God sees to it that all things serve to glorify his son''</blockquote>

Following this, Jacksmack77 summarizes and sharpens the critique:
<blockquote>''So according to calvinists , god is responsible for everything that comes to pass including evil , and this is all divinely purposed for his glory''</blockquote>

Then the attack happens. The Calvinist is brutally rammed and split in two. The next text states:
<blockquote>''with the calvinist god preordaining all things, the unsaved calvinist cant complain about being fatally ram attacked because it was his gods will...''</blockquote>

And finally:
<blockquote>''Calvinists also cant complain about this video , for it was also preordained by their stupid calvinist god''</blockquote>

===Where Jacksmack77 Goes Wrong===

While the satire is effective in exposing the troubling logic of strict determinism, the presentation reveals a theological blind spot in Jacksmack77 himself. As an evangelist, he often reduces the spiritual landscape into simplistic binaries: either you’re evangelizing, or you’re in sin. Either you believe in Free Grace the way he frames it, or you’re a Calvinist—or worse, a lordship salvationist.

This is a critical error, bordering on the very lordship mindset he condemns. To assert that someone must always be evangelizing or else be suspect reflects a works-oriented judgment—even if cloaked in Free Grace terminology.

What Jacksmack77 misses is the role of the prophet, as distinct from the evangelist. Evangelists preach the gospel. Prophets are given revelation. These roles are not interchangeable.

===What God Truly Does with Evil===

Contrary to Calvinist determinism, the Bible reveals that God is not the author of evil acts, but the Creator of evil creatures—who then exercise their own will. Satan, for instance, was created by God but chose rebellion.

Scripture bears this out:

'''Amos 3:6''' (KJV):
<blockquote>''Shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?''</blockquote>

This does not mean God sins, but that He may allow or send judgment (calamity) as a consequence.

'''Isaiah 45:7''' (KJV):
<blockquote>''I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.''</blockquote>

Again, the "evil" here is calamity, not moral wickedness. God allows calamity, but He does not commit sin, and He creates creatures that then do evil. He does not commit sin.

'''Amos 3:7''' (KJV):
<blockquote>''Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.''</blockquote>

This is crucial. Understanding the '''distinction between God’s sovereignty and moral evil''' is not something every believer is given. It is revealed. And it was not revealed to Jacksmack77—because he is not a prophet. He is an evangelist.

The prophet understands that God does not ordain rape, murder, or blasphemy for His glory. He allows fallen beings, like Satan, to operate within limits. He creates the conditions, but He does not author the act. This subtlety matters—and it must be revealed.

===Conclusion===

While Jacksmack77’s video rightly exposes the horrific implications of Calvinism, it also displays a narrow, one-dimensional ministry approach that excludes the prophet’s voice. Evangelists do not hold the full picture. When they pretend to, they risk slipping into the very authoritarianism they denounce.

The truth is this: God does not ordain evil. He creates evil beings who choose to do evil. He is sovereign, but He is not a tyrant. And He reveals this to prophets—not necessarily to evangelists.
