1 | THE CROSS | John 3:16 | JibbyJee | 88108 | ||
Dear Hank Prior to Dec. 2002, I had never even heard of John Calvin. Even since then I've only read a few scattered paragraphs of his writings for the INSTITUTES, and those were all quoted in passing within other books I've read. So I'm sorry if what you see me posting is "CALVINISM" to you, but to me it is NOTHING BUT THE GOSPEL. I am always more than happy to discuss differing interpretations and, if need be, correct my own understanding. Surely I'm not infallible. You've made it clear that you hate "ism's", and for the most part I agree with you. But don't be so obtuse as to forget to include "free willism" into the mix of "manmade" dogma! Rom 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy. Tit 3:4 But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared, Tit 3:5 not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, Sincerely in the mercy of Christ, Jibbs |

2 | THE CROSS | John 3:16 | Reformer Joe | 88142 | ||
I would encourage you to read Dave Hunt's book as well, if only to see how he knowingly misrepresents Calvinism. I was dumbfounded upon reading the book at how he intentionally quotes snippets of Spurgeon's sermons to try to "de-Calvinize him." He even goes so far to suggest that Calvin was a Roman Catholic at heart! :) You can go to http://www.whatloveisthis.com to get a snippet of thoughtful Christian response to the book. Vance, quoted by Hunt extensively in his own book, is a KJV-only advocate whose scholarship is apparently so poor that he must self-publish (among his other books is one attacking the NASB update as a gross corruption of God's word). I would also recommend Geisler's book, followed by James White's response to it, entitled _The Potter's Freedom._ While I think that Geisler's positions are well-refuted by White, I think _Chosen but Free_ is the least "crackpot" of the crop of anti-Reformed works that have hit the shelves in recent years. --Joe! |

Dear Joe: Thanks for the resource list. I've already got www.whatloveisthis.com bookmarked (what love indeed!). I'm also dedicated to mining AOMIN at least 2 times a day, so James White is very familiar to me (it was his ministry that did me in last December). A friend of mine put White's 9 part rebuttal of Geisler's CBF from The Dividing Line on CD's which I keep in my car. Which reminds me, my car speakers haven't heard music for a long, long time..... Sincerely, your Hymn-singin', Doctrine lovin', Bible totin' Jesus Freak Reformed friend, JibbyJee |
