armineanism

Hello siblings, I will first start by stating that I believe in unlimited atonement. I came across an article: https://davidtay81.wordpress.com/2012/03/11/the-church-fathers-on-limited-atonement/ This article quotes early Church members, and some of these quotes seem to hint that limited...

Hello brothers and sisters, I have questions around supralapsarian and infralapsarian views. 1. Were these views initially brought up and discussed during the reformation? 2. Who are the earliest Christian’s to hold one or the other of these views? 3. Does the old church discuss any of this...

I cannot wrap my head around the difference in predestination vs double predestination. My best answer is that in predestination God simply new beforehand who would believe, where with double predestination He actively makes the non elect reprobates. Is this right? Can anyone spoon feed me...

500 yrs after the reformation, the Calvinist and Arminian debate is still ongoing on strong, whether it's among the scholars or layman Christians. You can simply google or search in youtube how much hatred and attack btw these 2 group back and forth. I wonder why before the 16th there's no...

I always ponder which side was correct. Everyone always debates this. In Christianity, I wonder why there are so many disagreements, denominations as well as opinions when we are to not to be confused. I don't think God would make these matters this confusing and hard for us to understand. I...

I've studied the Bible endlessly on this topic, and I came to the conclusion that obviously God calls us first, but then it's up to us to accept the free gift of salvation. I've studied some verses that seem to contradict the Calvinistic view of predestination. “The Lord is not slow in keeping...
