A Calvinist's Stunning Admission (Audio)

Calvinism teaches that man is saved unconditionally, solely through the actions of God. This would make it appear as though God would be directly at fault for all those who would be lost. Few Calvinists will admit this. But when you make salvation wholly attributable to God, then likewise damnation is wholly attributable to God.

Below is a clip from the Bible Talk radio program by the South End church of Christ in Louisville, KY. Aaron Erhardt, the host of the show, had a caller who was obviously a Calvinist. Aaron posed a simple question to the caller: Why aren’t the lost saved? Listen to the exchange at the link below.

BibleTalk – Stunning Calvinist Admission (MP3)

Calvinism is a false doctrine of despair and unavoidable damnation. The gospel is a message of hope for all (cf. John 3:16; Acts 10:34-35; Titus 2:11; 2 Peter 3:9).

What does “propitiation” mean? How is “justification” connected to salvation? What does “sanctification” look like in our day-to-day lives? The Bible uses some powerful words to describe God’s plan to save mankind. However, these words are not always easy to understand, especially when they are not part of our everyday vocabulary. This book explores key Bible terms that unlock the message of the gospel.

Big Words in the Bible examines five important words – Propitiation, Reconciliation, Sanctification, Justification, and Resurrection – using plain language to see how the Scriptures describe these concepts and how the apostle Paul employs them in his letter to the Romans. This book also contains an appendix with eleven additional articles to explore these topics further.

Whether you are new to the Bible and want to grow in your understanding or want a simple way to explain these core gospel doctrines to others, this book will be helpful. With a focus on the Scriptures, Big Words in the Bible helps break down these fundamental topics to shed light on the life-changing message of the gospel and the salvation found in it.
