Subject: Study the Word, Calvin, or Aminian??? |
Bible Note: Thank you Joe for the welcome and your reply. Interesting choice of verse too by the way :) So from what you say here, and by your profile name, I gather that you're a follower of Calvin? An ism is a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school. From http://www.xenos.org/classes/principles/cpu1w6.htm#a4 Calvinism: This term is actually a misnomer. Calvin did not emphasize predestination in his Institutes (only 4 chapters). Calvin warned against delving too deeply into this subject (John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 21, section 1). However, it became the controlling principle in Reformed Theology, expressed by the Synod of Dort in 1618-1619. I respect your views and thank you again for your reply. Peace and Joy in the Lord bgg |
