Yes, indeed, Calvin is a radical soteriologi...Ben,<br /><br />Yes, indeed, Calvin is a radical soteriologist!<br /><br />Calvin: "It is an awful decree, I confess; but no one can deny that God foreknew the future final fate of man before he created him, and that he did foreknow it because it was appointed by his own decree"<br /><br />Calvin: "All men are not created for the same end; but some are foreordained to eternal life; others to eternal damnation. So according as every man was created for the one end or the other, we say he was elected or predestinated to life, or reprobated, that is, predestinated to destruction."<br /><br />Calvin: "In conformity, therefore, to the clear doctrine of the Scripture, we assert that, by an eternal and immutable counsel. God hath once for all determined both whom he would admit to salvation, and whom he would condemn to destruction. We affirm that this counsel, as far as concerns the elect, is founded on his gratuitous mercy, totally irrespective of human merit; but that to those whom he devotes to condemnation, the gate of life is closed by a just and irreprehensible, but [incomprehensible] judgment.”<br /><br />There’s no rehabilitating Calvin. He is what he is: a predestined nut!<br /><br /><br />tjpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080491.post-50478675695641105532010-04-21T09:36:16.877-05:002010-04-21T09:36:16.877-05:00i didn't know calvin was an arminian!i didn't know calvin was an arminian!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18040437513394996233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080491.post-59144680897927812732010-04-20T19:29:34.024-05:002010-04-20T19:29:34.024-05:00But its not a choice if you can't chose other ...But its not a choice if you can't chose other than in accordance with your own nature which doesn't want to and would never want to doesn't matter lalalalalalala.d4v34xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07346680257860879900noreply@blogger.com
