2 | Calvin or Armini | Bible general Archive 3 | Psalm 25 | 186782 | ||
John Calivin was simply the "spokesman" for the entire council.He did not "invent" the doctrine. However, Joseph Arminius and a few followers presented their view that countered the council's view and that of all the church at that time. While Joseph Arminius was responsible for his view John Calvin was only "a spokesman" for the views held by the entire church council. Sometime after that the oppossing sides were then given the labels "calvinist" and "arminianism." Historically the church has been strongly calvinist. Today calvinist are few and far between, sadly. Why should you study either? Very important. Don't get hung up on "labels" put on them. The calvinist view gives all the glory and honor and credit to God. The arminian view gives most (if not all) of the credit to mankind being "able" to believe in God. Although both views have extremes, the free will premice seems to have no boundaries and has led to all kinds of extremes. I highly recommend "Willing to Believe" by R.C. Sproul, Baker Books, 1997. You won't find anything better and it gives a complete historic and honest comparison of both sides. Highly documented and precise. |

After reviewing some of the responses to your question I feel "I must respond." The debate (if you want to call it that!) between the calvinist view verses the arminian "IS ABSOLUTELY PARAMOUNT!" The arminian "freewill" view is very damaging and distructive! God's honor and sovereignty are being destroyed by the freewill mentality.I have thoroughly, for many years, studied both sides. I started off being freewill.I was taught contempt for calvinists. For a person to study their Bible with a "freewill mentality" will greatly distort their entire outlook and create many many confustions about God and His purposes. The freewill view will leave you many unanswered questions, many! The calvinist view answers "all of them." Our carnal nature refuses to acknowledge God's sovereignty, thus man had to come up with "an out." | ||||||

Dear God's elect: I am so sorry you have been misunderstood. Seems like many respondants have "attacked you" rather than try to help. Shame on them! It is very confusing and I understand your frustration, too bad those that have responded to you havn't studied 1 Corinthians 13...Trust the Lord and He will guide you into all truth if you allow Him to. However, I must say that you will never find truth (especially today) if you don't seek it earnestly. God Bless | ||||||
5 | Calvin or Armini | Bible general Archive 3 | Psalm 25 | 186794 | ||
Again, I say, my Christian friend read 1 Corinthians 13......what I saw was an attack on a new Christian and my response was to him,not you. And by the way "who put you in charge?" | ||||||
6 | Calvin or Armini | Bible general Archive 3 | Psalm 25 | 186826 | ||
Please forgive me, I apologize to all.... I had no idea what I was getting into! I made some assertions that were poorly worded and misunderstood.I lashed back at several respondents. I was wrong in my assesments and my responses. I violated 1 Cor 13, please forgive me. Next time around I will choose my words carefully and respectfully.I had no intention of demeaning any one person's views or them personally. I am still very confused! I thought I was addressing the young man's questions and had no idea I would have to answer to everyone out there? Why don't we address the issues and try to help instead of finding it necessary to "tear apart" each other? (which admittedly I too got caught up in) |

Scroll down the page and look for "Calvin and Armini." This subject has been discussed for several days. The original question was asked by "God's-elect." | ||||||
8 | Calvin or Armini | Bible general Archive 3 | Psalm 25 | 186845 | ||
No, you're not wrong.The Bible is the only infallable truth. However,we all use the Bible "to prove our point." I too have utmost confidence in what I believe. All that any Christian can do is ask the Holy Spirit to guide them.But, the only way any of us can discern error from truth is "study both sides." The first place, I think, is to look at church history as far back as possible. It is my opinion that Christians who have maintained the "calvinist view" have strayed far less than the free will or arminian view. All five points that the arminian view express is the "exact opposite" of the calvinist view. What each person must do is look at each point "individually" and see if it lines up with scripture.The Greek text, being the original, is the only way to get to the bottom line. I am not a Greek expert but I do have the tools to study the Greek. Unfortunately, a study of these debated areas will leave the arminians with nothing to stand on. I have done so through many many scriptures for many years. As I said earlier, I started out as free will as can be. One such proof text regarding the eternal security of the believer is Ephesians 1:13: "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promice." (NASB) In the Greek "sealed in Him" is an action from eternity past to eternity future. God has sealed the believer in the Holy Spirit from eternity past. Salvation is not eternal if it can be lost. What God has sealed can not be undone. So, therefore, if we can disprove one point of arminism where does that leave the other points? Joseph Arminius was branded "a heretic" by all on the council. Also, I don't think you will find a single, respected, Greek scholar today who is arminian. If you can I would (sincerely) like to see his arguement from the Greek text. | ||||||

14 | Are we something before we were somethin | Is 43:7 | Psalm 25 | 187406 | ||
Greetings DLA, Psalm 139:13-18 declare that God knew us and formed us in the womb. This Psalm is very clear that God knew us and uniquely created us and then ordained each and every day of our lives. Ephesians 1:4 says, "just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him In love." This also shows God's knowing us and choosing us before creation was completed. Interesting isn't it? Does this answer you questions? Psalm 25 |

15 | Whom God choose in Him before Creation | Is 43:7 | Psalm 25 | 187407 | ||
Doc, What is your understanding of "whom God choose before the foundations of the world?" If God "knew us and choose us," then would this not predispose that God set certain "souls" apart? And if He did so would it not answer a lot of questions about who and why? |
||||||
16 | Who and why..... must be a reason? | Is 43:7 | Psalm 25 | 187411 | ||
Thanks Doc, Have you ever thought, though, (put on your best thinkin' cap) if God choose before the foundations of the world, did He do this randomly, or possibly He may have done His chosing based on something else. We know it certainly was not "forknowledge" as some think, so what was it? I have been pondering this for years. I am firmly calvinistic (have some questions though on limited atonement).Seems to me that if things were decided upon "before (key word) the foundations of the world, then there is more to this than scriptures are willing to tell us. Your thoughts? Psalm 25 |

18 | What was going on before man/created? | Is 43:7 | Psalm 25 | 187413 | ||
Doc, I forgot to address your response "implies merit." This is the traditional responses (in utmost respect) but since Romans 3 tells us "there is none righteous, no not one," and "none are willing, not even one; Any good calvinist would already know that no matter why God chose whom He did there was not merit period. For years I have tried to resolve the love of God with "eternal hell." It would be much easier to rectify all we know about God's love if there was a scenerio going on (which I know is mere speculation)before the foundations of the world that influenced God chooses one way or the other. Have you not ever pondered the Great Love of God (which I know is only for the elect) and the fact that so many souls are doomed (by their own choice) to an everlasting hell? Psalm 25 |

20 | What was God thinking "before?" | Is 43:7 | Psalm 25 | 187415 | ||
Jeff, I don't think I implied that anyone whom God chose was eternal. We know that God created all things. But have you not ever wondered if God chose us in Him before the foundations (key word) of the world, then who and why? Surely many have wondered and speculated on "the why." There has to be a reason, a solidly Biblical one, or as I stated earlier, God has not offered an explanation. Is it wrong to wonder, as a serious Christian, "what is it that caused God to chose and how/why did He do so. The calvinist nor the armenians position(s) do not address this but knowing the God of love as I hope I do after studying it seriously for years, makes me wonder? Your thoughts Jeff? Psalm 25 |
