Fosdick did more harm than good to Christianity. The only good thing to come from Fosdick is the writings of Machen.
Actually, I reject both Calvinism and Arminianism in favor of Biblical doctrine.
First you have to prove that dogs have a soul.Ummm...Then there is the third kind.
One who holds to neither Arminian or Calvinism.
(I think both camps are wrong)
BUT
As far as the pet goes...
All animal creatures have what the Hebrew calls a "Nepesh" or Soul.
And the Bible says, "The soul who sins shall die".
Ok...well your dog didn't defy his Creator by being something other than what he was created to be...therefore since that soul did not sin that dog shall live forever.
Perfect logic.

Hmmm....I know that Fosdick softened me to even consider the possibility that one day I could call myself a christian. He has become part of the fountain that renews me.

Fosdick cannot soften your heart. Only Christ can, inspite of you reading Fosdick.
That will be a piece of cake...
and I will be happy to oblige you the day you can somehow explain with logic why a hyper-calvinist holds a church service with an altar call.
The day dogs & cats have a soul, pigs will fly.. you're jesting, no?
BTW, Give an example of Calvins interpretation of scripture that you disagree with..thanks!
Hyper-Calvinists don't have alter calls. It is the exact opposite of what makes one a Hyper-Calvinist. Hyper-Calvinists believe that God saves His elect without the preaching of the Gospel. Show me one Hyper-Calvinist who has alter calls.Still waiting for that explanation of HyperCalvinists having an altar call.
And besides...
I got a new job at a zinc mine. The sidework was good but there wasn't enough to keep me going with the unemployment. So...I really can't start the long long laundry list. I got a job that pays money...and bantering here on worthless points doesn't pay the bills.
But if you want the main reason...Look long and hard into the story in John about the man BORN blind and as to the "why's" of the conversation. (in other words it was a debate even then)
There is a lot more to that story than a surface reading can ever supply. There is a reason for every story, jot, and tittle in the Bible we have. None is extra superflous stories re-relating the same truths over and over again. And if all you can come up with is the flat reading and explanation by a calvinistic commentator...there is a reason for that. He is hiding the truth or doesn't want to acknowledge the truth.
This isn't even "fringe" knowledge...just ignored knowledge. THere is no controversy over this conversation...just a reason it is ignored.
Kinda like the SDA ignoring the capitalized "Today" in Hebrews...or that Sabbath means cease and all former worship of God must cease in the manner in which the Jews were doing it. They love to ignore the fact that Jesus' cricifixion was the Sabbath day in which we rest.
Only Jesus the God/man was perfect. It is he that I follow. He alone is the Teacher. No one else can be in my book.
Calvinism is biblical doctrine.
