Is Calvinism Biblical?

== Is Calvinism Biblical? == It is my understanding that one loosely defined tenet of Calvinism is that persons cannot be freed from sin, and will continue to sin in this life. I. John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins: and in him is no sin.
6. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin;. . . Is sinning Biblical?
Calvin beleived in predestination. Some christians say this is right, others say it is wrong, but realistically, you can justify many different views in the Bible, it depends who is interpreting. Calvinism was not exclusively John Calvin's teaching. Calvin's teachings were based from scripture and he did not justify sinning at all. He taught that sinners are saved by faith in Jesus Christ through grace that comes from God himself and those who He saves He (God) chose before the fondations of the world to be conformed to the image of His Son. No one is saved apart from hearing the gospel. Upon being saved the there is a perpertual conflict within the believer between the old sin nature which is never completely done away with, and the new spiritual nature planted by God (Romans 7). Sinning is not biblical but the bible says that believers sin because of the sin nature inherited from Adam, but there is a new drive in a believer towards righteousness induced by the indwelling Holy Spirit. The apostole John never dealt with the exceptions in his writtings, he implied that a believer does not practice sin (does not live a pattern of sin) and it is him who said that "if we say that we have no sin we decieve ourselves and the truth is not in us, but if we confess our sins God is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse from all unrighteousness" 1 John 1: 8,9.
