What's The Alternative To Calvinism?
A friend asked me the other day what a good alternative to Calvinism is?
My response: The Bible!
The Bible doesn't need any other embellishments. It doesn't need to be viewed through the lens of anyone's -ism. Not Calvinism! Not Arminianism! Not any other -ism! It makes sense on its own. Its overall message can be read and understood by the average person. By seekers. By young people. By anyone and everyone. It's clear, consistent, and reliable.
(If you read the Bible on its own, without Calvinists telling you how to understand it, you wouldn't find Calvinism. Calvinism depends on Calvinist theologians to help "find" Calvinism in the Bible. But you can't find what's not there, so all it ends up doing is twisting it all out of shape.)
