Quotes from Salvation and Sovereignty 03/25/2010
"God is not the Author, Origin, or Cause of sin (and to say that He is, is not just hyper-Calvinism but blasphemy)." Page 7 “Limited atonement and irresistible grace cannot be found in the Scriptures unless one first puts them there.” Page 2 "…in the divine sovereignty/human responsibility paradox, sometimes my Calvinist brethren appeal to mystery in order to avoid the harsh and contradictory conclusions of their own system. 'Mystery' and 'contradiction' are not synonyms." Page 14 “Decretal theology eviscerates the gospel of its meaning. For many hearers, perhaps most, the announcement is that God has decided to remain at war with them, and He made this decision in eternity past. The gospel is supposed to be good news, but according to the doctrine of reprobation, the message is certainly not new and it is not necessarily good.” Page 51 “The question is not, "Why are the lost lost?" but "Why aren't the lost saved?" The nasty, awful, "deep-dark-dirty-little secret" of Calvinism is that it teaches there is one and only one answer to the second question, and it is that God does not want them saved."
