Bible Note: I think you miss Hank's point. If scripture revealed the answer to the Calvinist/Arminianist debate it would have ended 500 years ago. As Hank’s friend so succinctly stated both perspectives are equally represented in scripture so we have to accept both what we can’t figure out is how they interact. Both Calvinist and Arminianist attempt to make that explanation but since God in His infinite wisdom decide to keep the exact answer a mystery their attempts fall short. Nothing is accomplished by hashing and rehashing the arguments over and over and it is pointless. For anyone to consider that they have conclusive proof to establish once and for all a final answer is arrogance, again I remind everyone the debate has raged for 500years involving the greatest theological minds of each passing era. Since it has been decided both positions fall within the range of Christian Orthodoxy, to present either position as fact or truth flies in the face of everyone that holds the opposite view. The only answer that can honestly reported is both as in “some believe thus and such and others believe this and that.” Any attempt to sway the reader to one side or another is nothing more than preaching your position with unabashed bias something Lockman in their wisdom has banned. |
