John MacArthur Booted off Bible Broadcasting Network

Here's the same old rhetoric. But look what exactly the BBN was quoted as saying:

Notice, they did not ditch "sovereignty" in favor "free will alone". They even said BOTH were true, but beyond human reasoning. (haven't the Calvinists been saying precisely this lately?) But then the monergist site comes up with its philosophical question: "why do some choose and not others?". The 'answer' of course, if forced into "because God chose one and passed over the other". THIS is what they are objecting to. Notice, they did not even favor one truth over the other, but said there was "no human answer". Calvinists try to force a human answer as to how it must work out, and if you don't accept it, you are simply trying to "give glory to man". (And remember how much Calvinists screamed about being "misrepresented" when Hunt wrote his book! )
I don't know how much MacArthur taught on this and broke it down into election and reprobation, or just "exegeted" the scriptures (and without reading things into them) but it is true that the monergists do often try to explain too much (and then thow up "it is above our comprehension" only to justify the unconditional reprobation corollary), and this apparently was what the BBN was objecting to. And no wonder! </font>[/QUOTE]Great post!!!

Nice to meet you.

What is your flavor of Calvinism? 5 Pt like MacArthur?

How then can you have assurance and still hold to Calvinism's perseverence?

In Christ,
