calvinismExegesis Or Proof-Texting?
In the debate between Arminianistic (human free-will) and Calvinistic (God's control) theology, each has its proof-texts. Each claims to be using Scripture alone to prove its position. Perhaps one way to resolve the dispute, so you'd think would be to simply put all the proof-texts side by side. Yet, as often as this has been done, the dispute continues. It could be because the proof-texts are presented as negating factors in an attempt to negate or cancel out another proof-text. The approach of proof-texting does more damage than good, since to the non or weak Christian observer, it may appear Scripture is highly contradictory.
Lasik Eye Surgery & CalvinismYes, that is a strange combination for a topic but you'll see it ties together. On Friday October 8th, 2010 I had the Lasik (laser) eye surgery procedure done to correct my vision. I've only worn glasses for about 10 years but my eyes had reached a point where they weren't getting any worse and I decided now was the time to do this procedure and gain independence from glasses.
Arminian Objections to Limited Atonement
Perseverance Of The SaintsA doctrine that is much misunderstood & often incorrectly mimicked is the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. It is often called the preservation of the saints or sometimes mimicked as "once saved, always saved", "eternal security", or "Lordship salvation". Perhaps the misunderstanding of this doctrine starts with people who misunderstand who it is doing the persevering. Being a part of Calvinistic or Reformed doctrine, it should be obvious that it is NOT the individual doing the persevering but that it is God's gracious hand that perseveres.
