Then what was your original objection again, since this post was about CalvinISM, not John Calvin per se?
Oh, I remember. You said:
The only “ism” I care about is biblicism. Beyond that, any of man’s constructs is dung. If I find it in Scripture, I believe it.
CalvinISM is a construct of men, therefore it is dung. But you accept this dung.
Would you like a Mulligan?
Calvinism is not a construct of man if it is found in Scripture. Calvin may have articulated Scripture when he put forth the TULIP. However, the doctrines can be found in Scripture and did not begin with John Calvin.
The initial article, as posted, was not solely about Calvinism. You know full well that you weren’t wanting a discussion on Calvinism, but were bating others regarding some other doctrinal beliefs that were not part of what most folks deem to be Calvinism.
Also, don’t skip words when trying to articulate others views...I said “Beyond that”. I.E., beyond that which is biblical, man’s constructs are dung.
