Calvinism vs Armenism
I admit that I read a lot from authors who are mainly leaning towards Calvinism. Being in our church for such a long time, I was taught to beware of Calvinism. As I started attended B.S. it made me more aware of the difference and challenge me to read about it. I am not a Calvinist, neither am I an Armenist, but I am definitely a Christian. One thing that I realised is that a lot of us listen to what our teacher taught, but never really ever read about it. Thus there were a lot of misconceptions about Calvinism which I found out was "hyper-Calvinism". John MacArthur said that he do not like to be labelled a Calvinist because of the negative connotation that the title brings people who know not much about it.
I am not prepare to give an entry about the difference and where I stand. But it's very important to read and understand that both sides got their stand from the bible. Both are not wrong, but I strongly believe that there is middle-ground which when all is put together make sense.
I love what Rachael Lim declared at the end of our conversation this morning, I just want to know what the Bible says about our salvation.
Praise the Lord! That's the way to go, sister!
