Subject: Debate Arminian/Calvinist views? |
Bible Note: Joe I will pass on everything you said, however on this I must comment. While you might call what your follow reformed theology it is really Calvinism. Let's call it for what it is. Many reformers did not hold that view. And your right I could never follow the teachings of Calvin. He created God in his own image and sadly many have been deceived by his tragic view of God. Calvinism is fatalistic removing all responsibility for man’s action from man and basing the final outcome to God’s responsibility. All love and desire to worship God is only present if God so wills it and without that desire man is a destined to eternal damnation. Now I’m sure you will want to tell me I’m wrong and that is okay. But the God I serve, the God of the Bible, that God Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Goid who sent His only begotten Son for whosoever should believe, is far different that the god of Calvin. EdB |
