Sweatts teaching on TULIP is spot on, and that fact that you use twisted interpretation of scripture such that all doesnt mean all, whosoever doesnt mean whosoever means nothing as it pertains to Sweatts study.. Clearly Calvinists are clueless about the nature of God.<br />BTW Parker... Calvin did get his doctrine in part from Augustine...Calvin himself wrote:<br /><br />“Augustine is so wholly with me, that if I wished to write a confession of my faith, I could do so with all fullness and satisfaction to myself out of his writings.”<br /><br />Duh.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155722347781080648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970683153008645393.post-85074167722036120092010-07-05T07:08:04.136-05:002010-07-05T07:08:04.136-05:00Have you heard his recent sermon regarding TULIP? ...Have you heard his recent sermon regarding TULIP? It was delivered in June 2010. (It's at http://www.berean-baptist.org/assets/mp3/20100620pm.mp3) More comedy than his Young and Restless sermon.<br />I get angry with pastors like him who claim to "stick with the Bible" but really don't. They ignore the wealth of Calvinistic passages and they use non-Biblical arguments like "Calvin got his beliefs from Augustine and Augustine was a Roman Catholic" or "Calvin was a mean ruler in Geneva", etc.Robert Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06992612247195267337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970683153008645393.post-48633772892800759312009-08-04T18:48:28.099-05:002009-08-04T18:48:28.099-05:00That's incredible, Jonathan.

The pastor was going through "World Religions" in his Sunday night service. After covering Hinduism, Buddhism, and the like, he ended on.... wait for it... Calvinism (gasp!) <br /><br />Anyway, the main argument of the sermon was that John 3:16 "clearly" proves Calvinism wrong. Wow. I am more and more encouraged each day that, "The more a theologian detaches himself from the basic Hebrew and Greek text of Holy Scripture, the more he detaches himself from the source of real theology! And real theology is the foundation of a fruitful and blessed ministry!"

In another sermon on Baptism he said that Presbyterians believe that baptism washes away original sin.

Logic is a foreign idea to him. He is scared of the idea that anyone could be a Calvinist because to him it is unbiblical. It's sad that he isn't mature enough as a Christian to actually study what someone believes before trying to tear it down in the pulpit of the Lord.<br /><br />Sometimes you answer a fool according to his folly and other times you drink wine, so here is a wine review I wrote because in the end it’s better to look to the good things that God has given us then to let someone with a four-year-olds understanding of doctrine get under your skin.<br /><br />What a glorious thing it is to serve a loving and gracious God. He gives us good food and good drink so we might have a taste of our glorious rest now. Let me commend to you Archeo’s nero D’Avola as an excellent wine. Very good with pasta or pork and would go perfect with chocolate. It is an exciting red wine vibrant in color and rich in taste. Archeo’s nero d’Avola 2005 can be considered a mild Cabernet Sauvignon or a strong Merlot. One of Italy’s best inexpensive wines it has a hint of oak with a strong dark chocolate flavor. I recently purchased this bottle now sadly empty at Trader Joes for $4.99. I would commend it to you with warm regards.Rob McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07199943402552854529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970683153008645393.post-44068693929109575162009-07-30T06:50:58.993-05:002009-07-30T06:50:58.993-05:00Thanks for critiquing this one.

It's rather sad. I would also add how amazed I was at even William Lane Craig's ignorance of Calvinism. Take a look at James White's podcast and blog archive to see how poorly Craig sunderstands Calvinism as well. Perhaps he and Sweatt could put a conference together.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693380017090778540noreply@blogger.com
