Bible Note: Dear Sir Pent, May I suggest that a good place to start is to drop the terms "calvinsm" and arminianism". After all we are not attempting to justify their respective teachings as such, but are rather concerned with Biblical truth concerning church doctrine. Therefore, as JRdoc wisely suggested, we should stay with Scripture and exegesis of the texts and avoid conjecture and speculation as much as is possible. By this I do not mean that we must abandon reason itself, but that we may find it to be more profitable if we apply our God-given reason primarily to interpretation. Your Brother in Christ, John |
