Bible Note: Bill: Nothing wrong with having a Th.D. Nor with being familiar with the original languages (I sure wish I was more so). Nor with recognizing the contributions of the churth fathers and other Christian leaders who helped defend the Word of God against heresy (that's not worship, by the way, but respect). You are certainly not JUST another sheep, but the fact remains that God has used certain individuals in church history in a much more visible way than he has you or me. Don't despise theology, and don't blow off the work that Christ has done in his bride throughout the last 2000 years. While such men and women were not infallible, there is certainly a lot that we can learn from them. Secondly, while you do not label yourself a Calvinist or an Arminian, you must by necessity adhere to at leat some of the principles of one or the other. Let me show you an example: Do you believe that Christ's atonement was limited to a select, definite group of people (Calvinism) or to the entire human race (Arminianism)? Do you believe that God predestines individuals for glory based on his own wise counsel alone (Calvinism) or not (Arminianism)? Do you believe that God's saving grace changes the disposition in the human heart so that s/he will inevitably place faith in Christ (Calvinism) or do you believe God's grace merely enables man to freely accept or reject the offer of salvation (Arminianism)? Reject the labels, but it is impossible to reject both systems of theology, since there really is no third option on the points where they disagree. I understand the need not to be "boxed into" a stereoptyped category, but the fact is that categories are merely shorthand for more detailed explanations. --Joe! |
