That’s what I find so disturbing about Calvinism. It’s not the poor interpretation of scripture, but the passivity and presumptuousness.
Bad doctrine leads to bad outcomes. If the Devil were to trick Christians it would be through a theological device very much like Calvinism.
Your prayers for my growth and wisdom in these matters will be greatly appreciated.
William Carey (some call him the father of modern missions) was passive, presumptuous?
The Pilgrims were passive? Really? Never heard that before.
And the ones I hear calling the Pilgrims presumptuous are usually God-hatin liberals.
