Subject: Bad Arguments Against Calvinism |
Bible Note: You wrote: "So, as you have pointed out, either God didn't have control over the situation or He willed it to happen." So which option do you accept as biblical? You wrote: "As for my comments about Romans 9, I have never met a Calvinist who did not use that chapter as a main proof text." Yes, we are pretty infamous for supporting our views with the Word of God! :) You wrote: 'As for the statement saying "The requirement for entrance into heaven is whether or not a person has been saved.". My question is this: Is it wrong?' Ultimately, it IS wrong, and I explained why before. If my assessment was not scriptural, please tell me why it is not. --Joe! |
