Show Notes

Calvinism:

1. Total depravity - humans born in sin.

2. Unconditional election - God chooses who is saved.

3. Limited atonement - Jesus died for the elect.

4. Irresistible grace - the elect cannot resist God's grace.

5. Perseverance of the saints - the elect will never be lost.

Arminianism:

1. Partial depravity - humans have capacity for good.

2. Conditional election - God chooses based on mercy.

3. Unlimited atonement - Jesus died for all.

4. Resistible grace - humans can reject God's grace.

5. Conditional salvation - believers can fall away.

Differences:

1. Role of human free will.

2. Nature of God's sovereignty.

3. Nature of sin.

4. Nature of atonement.

5. Nature of grace.

6. Perseverance of the saints.

Listener comments:

1. True student can defend both sides.

2. Debate is rooted in intellectualism.

3. Both sides can be true.

4. Relationship with Jesus is personal.

My thoughts:

3. How can we love without free will?

4. Both sides discount opposition's scriptures.

5. Finite mind cannot comprehend infinite God.

6. Does the Bible promote denominations?
