Why is it thatPosted : 22 Apr, 2010 05:40 AMBased on my experience, when Calvinists (Reformed Christians) defend their doctrinal beliefs, they usually read from large passages in the Bible (John 6, John 17, Romans 5, Romans 9, Romans 10, Ephesians 1, etc.) and let the words of scripture speak for themselves. |

Why is it thatPosted : 22 Apr, 2010 06:18 AMTruth does not come out of the intellect, it is of the heart, as the word of God teaches. |

Why is it thatPosted : 22 Apr, 2010 06:40 AMThe Synod of Dort is not the only council which condemned Arminianism. Throughout the entirety of church history, at each council, synod or diet, one can find that one of the Arminian doctrines, or the whole system of Arminianism has been condemned at one time or another. Only since the birth of the Charismatic movements of Wesley, Pentecostals and Neo-Pentecostals have the Arminian heresy come to life again. |

Why is it thatPosted : 22 Apr, 2010 08:29 AMThat is so true! I had studied the Bible for years before I had ever heard of John Calvin or the Calvinism vs Arminianism debate. I had already come up with most of the doctrines of grace in my own studies and it is this controversy that has help me fine tune my own understanding. I can now look at both side and use my God given intellect to make a wise "CHOICE" (for you Arminians) on which view is correct. But it was God who gave me the wisdom to see the clear truth. And it was God that chose to raise me from death to life as part His chosen elect to enjoy Him forever. He chose me before creation. |

Why is it thatPosted : 22 Apr, 2010 08:57 AMusing one's intellect to choose truth, is clearly in opposition to the word of God, surely you meant otherwise |

Why is it thatPosted : 22 Apr, 2010 12:35 PM@PhillipJohn: So how do we find truth? In reading the bible and then choose to believe that what we believe is truth? |
