Subject: Is there middle ground? |
Bible Note: Hank Absolutely I also wonder about it. I think the problem is we as human love to argue. Or should I say we love to talk, and arguing gives us a opportunity. The issue of Calvinism and Arminianism is one really a problem of semantics and a refusal to look at the other sides point of view. As I have said many times there is enough evidence to support either sides case within scripture, there is enough rebuttal to either sides case also in scripture to tell us we have proof texted a contradiction. If we would walk away from the proof text, the predefined ideas, the biases and took a fresh look at scripture we would see salvation, sovereignty of God, election, free will, and the all these other terms we love to overuse to prove our point really have different and much further reaching meanings than a 5 point tulip or a 5 statement discourse.
