Are you "enlightened" after that last post under "Calvin's theological invention?" =-)

Hey Kyle, indeed. :) Loved your response. The arrogance of some of the DoG fanboys is astounding.

It's hard to imagine that they are anything but willfully ignorant of solid Wesleyan and Arminian theology. Soon I'm going to write a post showing how Calvinists do not own the theological concepts they often say they own.

Calvinism is a reactionary theology historically. Augustine reacted to Pelagius, Calvin to the Roman Catholics, and modern Calvinists to soft, trivialized mainstream Christianity. As such, they feel they own these issues, but they don't. What is needed is balance, not reaction.
