Bible Note: Dear TWLAVISTA, No, the reference was to a classic, unfair presupposition. Your assertion that Calvinists and Arminians are legalists is that sort of unfair presupposition. Some Calvinists are legalists. Some Arminians are legalists. To paint them all as legalists is an over generalization. The use of the word "entrenched" is intentionally inflammatory, representing what is called an ad hominem fallacy. I'd encourage you to learn the distinction between legalism and antinomianism. Then examine whose doctrine is characteristic of each. After that, you'll be in a better position to generalize with greater impunity. Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. (Ephesians 4:29-32 ESV) In Him, Doc |
