Calvinist Corner - June 2013
Calvinism is not Biblical Doctrine. It's a human
philosophy that appeals to proud-minded individuals.
The "ultimate" verbal gymnastics
I have actually seen places online that talk about the false doctrine of predestination, and the concept they say was that God, by His foreknowledge, created the plan of Salvation such that the people who chose it would actually choose it of their free will. That's how they say we were predestined.
This is the ultimate in verbal gymnastics: God didn't manipulate our minds or wills, but He manipulated the plan so that we would choose it. Of course, then that goes contrary to the concept of free will itself. And it is contrary to anything mentioned in the Bible.
Of course, it outright claims that the choice is ours - FREE WILL at its most elemental.
