A CALVINIST-ARMINIAN EXCHANGE
Dr. James White, over at Alpha and Omega Ministries, has an interesting link to his e-mail exchange with Liberty University professor Ergun Caner. To my mind, White's position (he is a Calvinistic Baptist) is clearly the more biblical and reasoned position. Caner's Arminian response is typical of those who deny the doctrines of grace--it is more emotionally driven than exegetically driven. For myself, I don't mind a healthy dose of Arminian fervor and emotion, but when it comes to biblical scholarship, I will take Calvinist exegesis any day! After all, old Spurgeon was right: Calvinism is but another name for the biblical gospel.Anyway, here is the link: http://www.aomin.org/ErgunCaner1.html
