Misconceptions on both sides of the debate...

I am already "on" the other forums --

See?

Christian evolutionists seem to abound there so - I post to shine a little light on the subject.

Uhmmmm.....Christian evolutionists...like, oily water ? Or, oil in water ? Or watery oil ? Or water in oil ?

Or Calvinistic Arminians ? Or Arminianistic Calvinists ? Or Free will Primitive Baptists ?

Wow !!

 

No kidding.

And of course the majority of Christians today belong to a church that teaches evolution as "the correct view of origins" or at the very least "a very likely view of origins" in their higher education institutions if not before that.

Their assumption is that you can cut and paste the start of scripture as you see fit - and it will not affect the Gospel. The idea is that when Gospel writers appeal to the "very details" of God's Gen 1-2:3 "Account" of origins that evolutionism so denies as well as the "very details" of the fall in chapters 2 and 3 that evolutionism denies (and the flood etc), it has no effect on the Gospel to count those details as myth, hyperbole, exaggeration etc.

Ever heard of Calminians?
And I heard that some Primitive Baptists were free will. A minority, perhaps, but still nevertheless around.

 

So if they are free will - how much of a Calvinist can they be? TP (Two point, TD and Perseverence)?

In Christ,

Well, they're obviously not Calvinist.
The ones here who do profess UE, often say they are "not Calvinist", then the ones who don't believe even that definitley aren't.
