Debating Calvinism

On the back cover of Dave Hunt's book, "What Love Is This?" it says,

'Dave Hunt is a bestselling author, esteemed researcher, lecturer, and scholar. Nearly 4 million copies of his books have been sold. His works have been translated into more than 40 languages.' [end quote]

His book does not say Dr. Dave Hunt or Reverend Dave Hunt. Does any one know if he is a pastor or is he laity. I guess a man or woman can be a scholar without a seminary degree. There are a lot of good preachers who have never gone to Bible School and God has chosen to bless their ministries.

 

Hi Ray;
I believe Dave Hunt is an accountant

I haven't heard any of those debates yet. However, I did get the book Debating Calvinism. I plan to read it during semester break.

Who is the author of "Debating Calvinism?" Who is the publishing company?

Hal Linsey has a new book out that I saw tonight on a Christian television station called something like Vanishing, as in the rapture.

I wonder why a Calivinist would even debate? Doesn't that go against the very core of his theology. If God has already decided everything, there would be no need for a Calninist to debate. What he says will make no difference. Right?

I guess that shows how worthless calvinists are?

Ray,

Dave Hunt and James White coauthored the book (Thus, the title). The cheapest you can get it is at www.aomin.org. I think it is only $10 there, compared to $17.99 (plus tax of course) everywhere else I've seen it.

 

Ray.

I haven't heard of Hal Linsey since the eighties. The man I received the word from was into him. Is he worth the read?

Ray,
Was not Hal Lindsey the one who said Jesus was coming back in the eighties?

I only know that he is a writer of eschatology and includes present historical events. No one knows the day or the hour of His return for His church.

Mr. Camping of Family Radio is preaching that all Christians should leave their churches and support his ministry to the world. Is he, to your mind, a misguided Christian teacher or a heretic? He wrongfully thinks that we are in the Great Tribulation period right now.

If I may ask are you preparing for ministry? Either way may God give you an abundance of strength in every area of your life.

 

So you know nothing about Calvinism than some caricatures that you parrot? Calvinists believe that God will use the presentation of truth to open the ears of those who hear, whether that truth concerns the gospel specifically or broader points of soteriology generally.

The book's a good read. Hunt does well considering that he has neither the Bible nor church history supporting him. White is too much for him.

Ray,

Debating Calvinism is co-authored by James White and Dave Hunt. White is a Reformed Baptist and Hunt is an Arminian of some sort. White's web site is www.aomin.org .

I think the book is published by Multnomah. It's at the house and I'm in my office, so I'm answering with the memory of a cluttered and disorganized mind.

So far I've just read the intro and first couple of chapters, White has Hunt on toast...
