The essence of the Calvinist gospel is this: I was dead and in need of a resurrection. (This combines the Calvinist doctrines of Total Inability and Irresistible Grace.) Naturally, then, Calvinists feel that Jesus’ raising…
You can find Patton’s original post here I was referred to this recent post by C. Michel Patton and thought I would respond to it. My comments can be found in-between sections of his post below:…
Frequently, Calvinists contend that if God really wanted for someone to be saved but who ultimately died in unbelief and perished, then God would have proven to be a failure, and therefore only an effectual…
According to Calvinism, God decreed whatsoever comes to pass. Such belief in exhaustive determinism has then led to the longstanding objections made against Calvinism in that God’s emotions would no longer make any sense if…
This week we are looking at arguments that Calvinists have levied against Arminianism. Can these critiques themselves bear scrutiny? J. C. Thibodaux, Answering Greg Elmquist’s “Four Unanswerable Questions” Martin Glynn, The Funniest Anti-Arminian Post I…

From the outset I want to make it clear that I’m not asserting that Calvinism is heresy, as I consider most Calvinists to be genuine brothers and sisters. This post is rather about a serious…
In the last post I was looking at an article on Limited Atonement. There I talked about how the issue of Limited vs. Unlimited Atonement has less to do with the nature of the atonement…
Soteriology 101 is a traditionalist, rather than Arminian, organization. They produce excellent material regarding Calvinism, and this video is no exception to that. It does an excellent job of countering certain arguments against free-will theism…
An article was recently shared with me that had convinced an Arminian to become a Calvinist. It describes the doctrine of Limited Atonement. For those who are curious about my thoughts on the matter, I…
A Calvinist recently posted these comments in our outreach Facebook discussion group: I’m a Calvinist and I want to say thank you to this group. While my entire upbringing and education has been hard…

How then has He chosen us, before we came into existence, but that, as he says himself, in Him we were represented beforehand? – Athanasius This is a response to C. Michael Patton’s “Open Letter…
I’ve been thinking about this question for a little while now, but what actually determines when the day ends? I don’t mean physically, but rhetorically, like when someone says, “At the end of the day…
