Predestined Controversy: Epilogue

Originally, I planned to write two posts about predestination (Part 1, Part 2).  I guess you could say I predetermined this.  Then I changed my mind  😉 Romans 8:33 says “Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect?  God is the One who justifies.”  How strange it seems to imagine election or predestination occurring apart…

Predestined Controversy (Part 2)

In my last post, I asked readers to respond to John Calvin’s comments on predestination.  So far, there have been no comments.  Maybe this is a subject people don’t want to touch with a 10-foot pole!  If there are any brave souls out there, feel free to comment on this post or the last one.  I…

Predestined Controversy

I have been reading John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion…for about a year.  It’s an enormous, exhaustive work of theology.  Ironically, Calvin laments that he has a love of brevity and is unable to expound on religious matters as thoroughly as his forebears.  If Calvin hadn’t loved brevity, I shudder to think of how much…

Suggestion Box

I’m going to step out here and do something I’ve never done before.  This is a question for readers of The Voice of One: Is there anything you’d like me to write a post about?  This is definitely a risky move because this post could easily hang out there, flapping in the cyber-wind, with nary…
