Rebuttal of the dreadful doctrine of reprobation
How long have you studied Calvinism, the Creeds and Confessions of Reformed Theology? How many Reformed authors have you read? Do you know specifically what the doctrine of Total Depravity teaches?
Or, are you just another anti-Calvinist band wagoner?
Fair.
I have studied Calvinism.
As far as how long? I had it theologically ramrod died down my throat for several years that I was searching.
On that point, the Jews that rejected Jesus has studied the Tanakh in its entirety their entire lives and they didn't even respond to the authors presence to the point of yelling "crucify Him". They indeed nurtured their isms. Isms are super dangerous in light of the true LIGHT.
It is indeed an ism
That's the first rub, it chews the food of scripture and regurgitates it into the mouths of people who don't want to study with the specific aid of the Spirit.
The second rub is how it narrows the gospel message and acts as a crutch to not engage people that would indeed embrace the gospel, because of the fact that they may not look like a cookie cutter Christian.
Thirdly, it has no answer to people who aren't born under Judaism or Christianity though God addresses this with compassion throughout the OT and the NT.
Fourthly, it is always on the minds and lips of its representatives and they consistently hijack the gospel message to become a building based elitist club full of theological attiboys, as they limit the power of the cross and gospel in the same breath.
