Bible Question:
Thanks Tim for the overview, I had the same question as gracefull. One more question -- Calvinism obviously came from Calvin. Where did "Arminianism" come from? Thanks, reilly |
Bible Answer: Dear Rielly, There is a wealth of info on the net concerning both views. On the calvinist side, I recommend www.reformed.org "James (Jacob) Arminius (1560-1609) was a Dutch theologian who studied, taught, and eventually broke with Calvinism. He was particularly at odds with John Calvin's emphasis on unconditional election and irresistible grace...." The battle for the truth regarding the soverignty of God continues, even today. God Bless, John |
