Subject: Please explain what a "Calvinist" is ? |
Bible Note: Hi, Searcher... The subgroups are not formal groups in any academic sense. They aren't represented, for example, in scholastic theological circles. Calvinism (Monergism) and Arminianism (Synergism) are logical complements of one another. Although humans are capable of holding illogical and contradictory positions, people who have actually studied the topic know that there is no "middle ground." God is either sovereign or man is sovereign. When terms are rightly defined, there's no possibility of an apodeictic middle ground. Any other view is indicative of a lack of understanding of the positions, often compounded by an inadequate understanding of rhetoric. One other correction: Arminianism does not hold to Total Depravity (Moral Inability). The Calvinist holds the Scripture doctrine that man is unable to yield a right moral response to God in an unregenerate state; i.e., what God commands man to do, He must also grant through grace. The Arminian, on the other hand, holds the position that man is morally capable; i.e., what God commands, man is able to do if he chooses to do it.
