Author	Thread: Silly and Irrelevant Question?
Admin	Silly and Irrelevant Question? Posted : 7 Apr, 2011 05:06 AM I asked a question on another thread and was told is was silly and irrelevant. The question was : Is it likely that a man on a deserted island with only a Bible would come up with Calvinism, Tulip, The Doctrines of Grace, Reformation Theology (all the same thing). I think it is a totally relevant question and not silly at all. Here is why: If a person cannot read the Bible alone and come to Calvinism on their own then 'logically' Calvinism must come from a source outside the Bible. So what do you think? Post Reply

Posted : 10 Apr, 2011 11:45 AM Mark - I even think that Calvinism is a more "likable" message, because people that aren't really converted can just superficially "say" they are and continue to live horribly selfish lives Ryan - Calvinism doesn't allow for that at all and it a hated message by most. I'm curious as to how you came to that conclusion. Post Reply

Posted : 10 Apr, 2011 12:19 PM I know I said Calvinism, but I basically just mean the "predestination" belief that God only made salvation available to a few "elected" people or that once a person is "saved" they are going to heaven no matter what. Maybe I'm getting it wrong too, I really don't like talking about other belief systems too much because I don't know exactly what they mean when they say certain things, and meanings/definitions seem to differ with every person I talk to. Beliefs systems/doctrines seem to vary from person to person, or church to church, which makes it hard to pin anything down. :peace::peace: Post Reply
