Bible Note: Well, I only use "Calvinism" as a term. I do not necessarily agree with Calvin on everything, nor, do I think he was right about everything. I don't see how you can say that men have debated without coming to a conclusion. I have come to the conclusion that the Doctrines of Grace are true--that Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Particular Redemption, Effectual Calling, and Eternal Security are true. They are Scriptural. There is no Scripture, therefore, that goes against them because the Scripture doesn't contradict itself. Now, if other people disagree, that doesn't mean that the conclusion that I came to is wrong. It could mean that they are wrong and the Scripture is right. I will say this, if you believe what you said above, you must be more of a Calvinist than an Arminian because the Arminian doesn't believe the things you said you did. Remember, the definition of "grace" is "unmerited favor." Even when we deserved what the world deserves, God saved us without any merit on our part. God bless, and, thanks for disagreeing, agreeably. |
