What should I do if I have just discovered that the church I am attending strongly supports MacArthur and is Calvinist?

If the Calvinist theology of "meticulous providence" were true, then why would one bother? Wouldn't there be no point? Isn't the idea of "predestination" dangerous?

Shouldn't we be able to do a DNA test on the Shroud of Turin to determine the contributors?

Doesn't God bear responsibility for evil, since He created the devil? [Revelation 21:1-4].

What do you say to a skeptic, like Bart Ehrman, who doubts the authenticity of the New Testament gospels? Rec: topical lectures under "Individual Topical Teachings" "Steve Gregg's Response to Bart Ehrman (2020)".

Do you think we are just waiting for the rapture? Will the tribulation occur before or afterward? [1 Corinthians 15:51-53, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, John 6:39-40, John 6:44, John 6:54, 2 Thessalonians 1:6-8].

Isn't the change from the Old Testament to the New not the shift from "Law" to "Grace," but instead that Jesus took the place of the sacrifice, and salvation has always been under "grace?" [Exodus 34:6-7, John 1:17]

What happens to the unsaved after the "last day?"
[2 Thessalonians 1:8, 2 Thessalonians 2:8, John 12:48].

Am I doomed? Is my failure in the Christian faith and all the bad things happening to me because I am not elect? [Ephesians 1:3-4, 2 Peter 3:9, 2 Chronicles 7:14-16, Galatians 3:28-29, Luke 6:13, John 15:16, Matthew 19:21-24, Ezekiel 33:11].

What is your view on non-resistance, government involvement, and violence? [James 4:17, Matthew 5:39, Matthew 7:12, Matthew 26:52].
