Back in 2010 J.C. Thibodaux started what would eventually become a four part series on Romans 9, with special focus on the problems inherent in the typical Calvinist interpretation of Romans 9. This short series was slow going as it did not conclude until 2012. For that reason it can be hard to follow the series by just looking through the site. Since it is a very good and concise critique of the typical Calvinist approach to Romans 9 as a proof-text for unconditional election, and because these posts continue to get a lot of traffic, I thought it would be good to highlight them together in one post:
Romans 9 in Context: God’s Just Prerogative in Confounding All Confidence in The Law of Works
Where Calvinism Gets Romans 9 Wrong: Prerogative Equals Unconditionality
Where Calvinism Gets Romans 9 Wrong: “Not of Works” means “No Conditions”
Where Calvinism Gets Romans 9 Wrong: Proof-Texting From a Translation of Choice
