OK, this one really frosts me. I keep a stockpile of websites that I find interesting, both sides of the fence, and I happened to glance at
"biblebelievers.net/Calvinism/kjcalvn6.htm" for no apparent reason this morning.
Take a look a few paragraphs down where Dr. Lightner discusses Q. 37 of the Heidelberg Catechism as a PROOF TEXT for his position.
The guy holds a doctorate, and we're supposed to take him seriously. His writing even shows a copyright mark. He's supposed to know how to research and present a case objectively and accurately in order to prove his point. He knew that the Heidelberg Catechism is a Calvinist document with a Calvinist perspective. And yet he writes as if the writers were CONCEDING Arminian beliefs!
I am astounded that someone with doctorate credentials would do this. If he's going to brag about being a doctorate at the top of his writing, he should be producing writings at that level, not a Jehovah's Witness level, stating things that were never the intent of the writers.
