  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

In my view Calvinism is a theological system that it can be easy to substitute for faith

What a critique without having read all of what Calvinism teaches.
I am sure there are many genuine christians who are also Calvinist, but why can one just become a christian reading the Gospels?

For the record Calvin did not name it Calvinism.His opponents did.Calvin is teaching the Doctrines of Grace.
I agree with you,and I am sad to hear of this type of teaching.I would like to suggest a couple of resources that would benefit you in understanding Calvinism correctly.Visit whitehorseinn.org which is a excellent site of information.
I just think it was providential happening with the snow, he only went into the church for shelter. A combination then of providence and the Holy Spirit once he got in.

If that was the case then why would he not which to another belief system?
Because how one hears the Pure Gospel of Christ does not matter.He heard it and believed!

I wanted to read Calvin without having to embrace it as a complete system, but his systematizing entails that. You end up having to go with him, like or not, before you know if he is right, and its clear that there are different views out there expecially on Romans 9-11. I don't want to read something that prevents me get the Apostle's true meaning!
