The Pharisee Card

[HeirofSalvation]

Who is "they"? Are you suggesting that there is not one, on either side of the debate, who hasn't studied the issue and is convinced by the Word of God?

According to you. Making a statement doesn't mean it's true. I respect your opinion. In your mind you believe the doctrines of grace are not biblical. There are many good Christian people who have labored over the Word of God on the issue and come to a different conclusion.

Actually it can, and has been since the time of Augustine. You may disagree with the biblical case made for the doctrines of grace, but that doesn't mean a biblical case can't be made for it.

I could not agree with these sentiments more: :thumbsup: I am no Calvinist...but I think it is always good to weigh what are the strengths and weaknesses of any given point of view...I can hopefully treat Calvinist beliefs fairly, and I can admit when there are passages which clearly seem to support its point of view....(there ARE passages which seem to support many Calvinist claims IMO) I simply think the weight of Biblical evidence is to the contrary...Knowing this article to have been written by a Calvinist, I liked the article and found it to be helpful and informative. Thanks Herald for posting this article. He makes good points!!:jesus:
