Not only does this beg the question, I think your lack of exposure to Arminian theology, and having Calvinsts explain Arminianism to you has resulted in some misunderstandings. I understand that; I probably don't understand Calvinist theology as well as I should to make an honest critique (one reason for the delay in addressing the subject). <br /><br />If you want a good introduction to Arminian Theology, I recommend Roger Olson's book "Arminian Theology: Myths and Realities."<br /><br />Thanks for your comments.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17442802051755707412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342598185390512702.post-35099350022206943702009-09-12T13:22:35.561-04:002009-09-12T13:22:35.561-04:00That's cool.

It's just interesting to find somebody that does. Just wondering how you justify when the Bible does not support it.

Not all Arminians believe that a person can forfeit (a better word than "lose" as if it were like losing your keys or something) their salvation. <br /><br />This particular post doesn't really address the Calvinism/Arminianism debate directly; it's about whether Greg Boyd correctly interprets 1 Peter 1:20. Perhaps in the future I will write something about why I'm not a Calvinist (although I have great respect for Calvinists).Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17442802051755707412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342598185390512702.post-24213653474769034492009-09-08T10:16:11.151-04:002009-09-08T10:16:11.151-04:00Then do you CHOOSE what sins can cost a person the...Then do you CHOOSE what sins can cost a person their salvation or is there certain sins that your safe to engage in and other's that will cost you salvation? Why would God pluck somebody he chose from the foundation of the world? That is sad there are people that think they have some input or doing in their salvation. Something they do or don't do directly affects their salvation. That would be a lot of work and stress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342598185390512702.post-85958104193551926972009-09-04T21:16:42.727-04:002009-09-04T21:16:42.727-04:00Why am I Arminian?

I guess the first thing I would ask is why the Holy Spirit would seal something just to unseal it? What sins exactly make you lose your salvation. God is all knowing and he knows exactly what mistakes and decisions you will make, but the good news is He loves you in spite of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
