That point is just as extreme as those who point out that if someone were consistent in their Calvinism then why bother evangelizing at all. -- ksen

Arminianism: We believe in the power of dry bones to hear. Therefore, by faith in ourselves and man, we preach to the sick.

Calvinism: We believe in the power of God to give dry bones life. Therefore, by faith in God alone, we preach to the dead.

No, ksen, jude's statement is not extreme; it is at the heart of how a man approaches evangelism.

Hi Ambassador, pleased to meet you.

Would it be fair, in your view, for someone antagonistic towards Calivinism to make a ridiculous exaggeration about the consequences of Calvinistic beliefs and claim they were natural consequences of Calvinism?
