    A Protestant appreciation of John Paul II Commentary By Rory Leishman I am a Calvinist and my wife is a Calvinist. We are both descended from a long line of Calvinists. Yet, it is difficult to imagine how our Catholic friends could have been more enthused than we by the witness to hope of Pope John Paul II in Toronto during World Youth Days. Of course, not all Christians share our admiration for this pope. A small minority are reactionaries bent on perpetuating the animosities generated by the religious wars of the 16th and 17th centuries. Others are theological liberals,...

MCNEIL "I am not now going into millennial theories, or into any speculation as to dates. I do not know anything at all about such things, and I am not sure that I am called to spend my time in such researches. I am rather called to minister the gospel than to open prophecy.

    Calvinist brethren, in my Honors Comp class I am writing an "illustration" (example) paper. It is very short (like a page and a half). All I need to do is have a thesis and three main points, a topic sentence and flushed out example supporting each topic sentence. The topic I am looking at writing about is total depravity/societal restraint on human behavior. I need several angles to approach this at. The first one is that without enough restraining authority to hold back people's potential, chaos results (for example, when enough people get massed together, activities like riots and the...
  • What is predestination?

    What is predestination? by R. C. Sproul ------------------------------------------------------------------------     When the Bible speaks of predestination, it speaks of God's sovereign involvement in certain things before they happen. He chooses in advance certain things to take place. For example, he predestined creation. Before God created the world, he decided to do it.     Usually when people think of predestination, they think about whether or not somebody was hit by an automobile on a given day because God had decided ahead of time that that should happen on that day.     Theologically, the principal issue of predestination in the Bible has to...
