I'm just glad God saved a wretch like me 🤗. All glory and honor to Him 🙇‍♂️.

This entire debate really comes down to an understanding of primary causes vs secondary causes.

I disagreed with Calvinism when people started telling me that “All didn’t mean all”….

@AndyReichert0 4 years ago (edited)

totally agree with the authority thing. calvinists and other christians don't disagree about whether God is sovereign. they disagree about how He sovereignly chose/choses to exercise that sovereignty.

God predetermined that I would never want to be a Calvinist.

I am thankful to God that I believe. Whether God elected me beforehand to believe or not, is something I don't have to understand. I am just thankful that I accepted Jesus as my Savior.

Ever had an argument with someone and realize you're both saying the same thing? That's what this feels like.

I'm seeing this late, but thank you for this conversation. I do regret that the first part of Dr. Hunter's response (as he was referring to Cain and Abel and God's suggestions to Abel about his sacrifice) was interrupted. I'm not sure the camera man's input advanced the discussion. Too many interruptions of the guest, though he managed to express his opinion(s) in the latter half of this interview.
This IS an important issue for discussion as are any/all discussions that potentially affect our eternal salvation. Thank you again for having Dr. Hunter on your channel.

Calvinism to me is so illogical, I just immediately reject it. It requires a great amount of mental gymnastics to make it work.

John Lennox's book 'Determined to Believe' is a good read.

When I was growing up no one ever told me about Calvanism or the alternatives. Choice was never discussed. I feel fortunate in that I was able to study the bible without any preconceived notions and I naturally just believed, from reading, that we had a choice. I don't know how I would have come to the thought that we didn't.

I loved this. I’ve really tried to ignore this subject, feeling that determinism falls squarely into: “I don’t have the mind of God nor do I need to understand everything to have faith.” But more and more it kept coming up, I felt I needed to be more informed about it. Loved how concise he is on the problems with Calvinism, and frankly I just intuitively cannot reconcile it with what I believe.

I do think as Christians we should care about this, because it has to the capacity to create sort of a meh attitude towards reaching the lost.

Excellent and absolutely true! Very encouraging!

As Derek Prince one said, "If we believe the whole New Testament, we have to believe both[predestination and free will]—even if we don’t see how they fit together."

As soon as I hear anyone talk about "fairness" concerning God my guard immediately goes up. In Romans 9:21 "Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor", I would recommend extreme care with judging God on his decisions. The reality is that to us Christians who have studied his word, there seem to be verses that speak to both sides of this argument.
