I don’t think that a Christian is necessarily required to come down one way or another on Calvinism vs. Arminianism (or Lutheranism or whatever the Catholics and Eastern Orthodox think about it), but the fact is, I’ve been wrestling with issues of predestination, free will and the nature of God pretty fiercely for months now, and I keep coming to the same conclusions.
It doesn’t help that I have been reading Augustine’s Confessions this year, either. Next up: the Institutes!
No offense to my Arminian friends, but I just don’t think that the Arminian position is tenable at all. It eats itself.
