Wow - some really good points


Now if you've read this blog (particularly the tag "Religion") then you know that not only do I not believe in Calvinism, but I also hold to the idea that Calvinism is heresy and one that would teach it is, by definition, a false prophet. Seems I am not the only one.


Written disproving of Calvinism:

This author agrees. He lays out how each of the 5-points of Calvinism are false. He does a good job of quoting scripture that refutes the ill-conceived notions in Calvinism.

This author also agrees, but goes a bit further. I think that a person can be saved and still believe (falsely) that the doctrines of Calvinism are true. Understand that the belief in Calvinistic ideas have little to do with salvation, and nothing to do with the actual mechanics of salvation. The author points that out nicely.

This author takes a slightly different approach. Instead of point-by-point rebuttal of the falsehoods taught by Calvinism, the author instead points out the heresies in Calvinism. My favorite part, and the part that rings most true, is the heading "The Logical Irrelevance of Christ's Death."



Not only that, but some pastors of note also agree:

Dr. J Vernon McGee speaks against predestination here. 

Chuck Smith weighs in on same.

Jerry Falwell agrees.

Billy Graham is a notable minister who does nt believe in predestination.

Adrian Rogers feels the same. Here's a whole sermon by the late Dr. Rogers on predestination. Here's another time he refutes predestination.



And if you needed further proof:

Those idiots at "Westboro Baptist Church" are Calvinists.

To be fair, here is a list of notable preachers and ministers who believe in predestination:

...

Oh, wait, I couldn't find ANY.
(None outside the very small cults of Calvinism and predestinationism)

What say you?
