AntiCalvinist Links Strangely Disappear
May 31, 2006 - We just noticed it so we cannot confirm an actual time or reason but the infamous Caner Sermon on Calvinism preached at Thomas Road Baptist Church on April 9 cannot be accessed online. It seems to have disappeared. Anybody have more info?
Also - has
Baptistfire.com really disappeared? A thorn in the side of SBC Calvinists for almost a decade apparently has mysteriously disappeared also from the web. While we would not discourage any Baptist from having an opinion on any subject we would like to know who really was behind Baptistfire.
And we could not help wonder is the disappearance of both these links in any way connected?
Another Professor Airs Bias
May 26, 2006 In an opinion piece in the Baptist Standard, Roger Olson, professor of theology at Baylor University’s George W. Truett Theological Seminary lets loose another example of Anti-Calvinist bias toward Southern Baptist Calvinists.
His most startling misconception? Here it is - brace yourselves. "Calvinism is belief in divine determinism; God is the all-determining reality who sovereignly plans and controls all events, including the free choices of humans."
In other words Dr. Olson believes that Calvinistic theology makes God the author of sin originally and for all time. Read the article for yourself
here. It's not as bad as some but makes one wonder if the future for graduates of Baylor's seminary includes a predisposition toward Open Theism?
