1 | Where are the scriptures, believers? | Matt 6:15 | Radioman | 15294 | ||
Bill: I think you are probably better off NOT knowing what an Arminian or a Calvinist is. Involuntarily, I learned from the forum way more than I ever wanted to know about Calvinism, which emphasizes divine sovereignty, and the opposite belief, Arminianism, which emphasizes human responsibility and all but dismisses the sovereignty of God. All any of us need to know is *the Bible doctrine of election.* I also found out (the hard way) that here on the forum one dare not even use the word "election" lest he be accused of being a Calvinist. Another forum member posted much information on the Bible doctrine of election. People villified him as a Calvinist, EVEN THOUGH the man never once in his postings used the word Calvin or Calvinism. (Except later on to answer those who themselves brought up the word and accused him of being a Calvinist.) Nor was he espousing the pure Calvinist doctrine of election. I admire the fact that you esteem and rely upon the Scriptures as your authority in doctrinal matters. Bless you, Radioman |

Radioman, Thanks for your comments. Maybe sometimes ignorance IS bliss (sorry, no scripture reference for this) :) We love labels and classifying people, don't we? In Christ, Bill Mc |
