Subject: Whats up with Judgement, calvinists plz? |
Bible Note: Generally when one speaks of Calvinism or Arminianism they speak of the 5 points. They use the term generally to refer to the 5 points. I do not use the term as such and rather prefer the term Reformed Theology for a number of reasons: 1. Through Calvin was a very able theologian, he was not 100 percent correct in everything he asserted. By this I mean no disrespect to him or his theology...some of it was plainly Catholic, but considering what he came from and what battles were brewing he was the man for the time--as God well knew. 2. Calvinism when rightly understood is much more than 5 points. Thus, I like Reformed Theology as its gives a "broader" more accurate definition of a whole system of theology. 3. I do not call 1-4 point Calvinists actual Calvinists, but Arminians with some Calvinist leanings (some call them pre-cals or Armcals). The whole Bible is One Systematic Theology that agrees within and of itself when correctly understood. It is commonly known and easily proven that if one point of Calvinism is incorrect then the whole system would indeed fall. Of course it is not incorrect and thus stands as the proper interpretation of the inerrant Word of God. 4. Hyper Calvinists are in as much error as Arminians. Though you say God's Word is your final authority you still need to interpret and it will be interpreted within one of the two systems (if looked at broadly). Of course you have those that re-write the whole of the text--Mormons, J.W..........and they are lost. |
