R*o 发帖数: 3781 | 1 Nevertheless, viewing depravity as inability, which necessitates regeneratio

fair, we must, says Engelsma, "let Calvinism speak for itself." 12 That is e

Inasmuch as Total Depravity requires regeneration before faith or salvation,
the Calvinist assumes it could take place - and probably does - in infancy.

Calvinists object to the assertion that the natural man is "not so totally d
epraved that he can't hear God's voice and come to Christ." They respond, "T
otally depraved is totally depraved. It makes no sense to say man isn't so t
otally depraved." Not only is Total Depravity not a biblical concept, but as
the quote above shows, Calvin himself said that man is not so totally depra

JC's comments on Romans 1;2
As the suspicion of being new
subtracts much from the authority of a doctrine, he confirms the faith
of the gospel by antiquity; as though he said, "Christ came not on the
earth unexpectedly, nor did he introduce a doctrine of a new kind and
not heard of before, inasmuch as he, and his gospel too, had been
promised and expected from the beginning of the world." But as
antiquity is often fabulous, he brings witnesses, and those approved,

excerpt from John Calvin's comments on 1:8
"
The first thing worthy of remark is, that he so commends their faith,
[29] that he implies that it had been received from God. We are here
taught that faith is God's gift; for thanksgiving is an acknowledgment
of a benefit. He who gives thanks to God for faith, confesses that it
comes from him. And since we find that the Apo... 阅读全帖 |
