1 | Understanding TULIP | John 2:9 | DocTrinsograce | 178977 | ||
Dear NewPilgrim, Looks like a pretty good summation of the response to the Remonstrants at the Council of Dort. By the way, Calvin, himself, never articulated these points in this specific fashion. If you would like, drop me an email, and I'll send you a copy of a paper I wrote a few years back: an introduction to Calvinism. In Him, Doc |

2 | Understanding TULIP | John 2:9 | NewPilgrim | 179018 | ||
Going on from there then, is it not shocking to consider that regardless of the motive of salvation, that God is one who changes the will of men, against their will, and in saving them enters into them? | ||||||
3 | Understanding TULIP | John 2:9 | DocTrinsograce | 179019 | ||
Dear NewPilgrim, Not shocking at all... but incredibly merciful... for without such action on God's part none would be saved. As Calvin put it, "The will is not destroyed but rather repaired by grace." Think of it as divine enablement, rather than divine coercion. A proper understanding of these doctrines produces a great gratitude and humility toward our Sovereign and Holy Lord. Let's take this discussion offline, please. It is one that has proven to be divisive in the forum's history, particularly in those who start with a libertarian presuppositions. As I suggested before, please contact me directly via email. Thank you! In Him, Doc |
