Thanks man!
Mell,

Oh, and yes I prefer the word Reformed as opposed to Calvinist. Proper nomenclature is key to reclaiming the culture, however I sometimes use the term Calvinism as most understand that term, yet I always bring it around to a new term once people understand what I am talking about.<br /><br /><br />R.G.RMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08835199015098387445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307767270131119292.post-5086628554463825952010-09-14T10:53:10.488-07:002010-09-14T10:53:10.488-07:00Excellent RG! I agree with you, that all other ...Excellent RG! I agree with you, that all other 'denominations' or religions that try to portray God as other than what the Scriptures say He is, are idolatrous. One of the things that frustrates and nearly angers me the most are those people that try to claim to be, 'Four-point Calvinist'. There absolutely can be no such thing as a four point Calvinist if the person truly believes in God's sovereignty, or even if he believes in any one of the 5 points, he must believe in the rest for they are inseparable. It has to be all or none. <br /><br />I remember reading in Robert Lewis Dabney's book on Thomas Stonewall Jackson a portion describing Jackson's understanding of God's providence and man's free will. At the time it was the best explanation that I had ever heard/read any where of how God in his sovereignty predestines the elect and then causes the Holy spirit to change our will in conformity with His so that we still choose of our own free will, but our free will has been liberated from sin so that we will then choose Him according to His will. I think it said something about that, once liberated from sin, our free wills become agents of God's will. <br /><br />Anyway, have you read Kenneth Gentry's book ' A Biblical Defense of Predestination'? I read it after a discussion with someone who claimed to be a four-point Calvinist and after doing so it lead me to believe that many people that call themselves such, or embrace Arminian doctrine, do so out of a lack of understanding of the nature of God, man, and the Scriptures. The book was so well written, mostly just siting Scriptures and then expounding upon them using other supporting Scriptures, that I think if a person was truly trying to objectively understand the Scriptures for what they say, they could not help but become a 'Calvinist'- (I really don't like that term) or shall I say Reformed?- after reading it. If you haven't guess, I highly recommend it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307767270131119292.post-83817860051775802372010-09-13T17:16:07.514-07:002010-09-13T17:16:07.514-07:00Right on, brother!
