Subject: Debate Arminian/Calvinist views? |
Bible Note: Steve The point to my append was not whether Calvinism is right or wrong. My point was that since I oppose it I'm labeled as a Arminianist. Which is simply not the fact. I disagree with the Arminian position as much as I do the Calvin position. As to where Calvin got the Tulip I have no idea but it certainly not seen in the Bible I read. I have no problem with doctrine that can plainly be seen in the Bible. I object to doctrine that is formulated by modifing the general theme of the Bible. Because a word does not appear in the Bible does not make the concept that word represents valid or invalid. The word trinity is no where to be found in the Bible yet the concept of the Trinity can plainly be seen. I'm not sure why you brought this up since I never mentioned anything about a word not being in the Bible. EdB |
