"The question to ask any Calvinist. MacArthur fails to answer and it turns out that God contradicts himself and asks us to "live in that contradiction."
This was a comment that I copied from the youtube page. I apologize. I should have made that clear. I thought it sounded like John MacArthur was accepting that. He sounded really weak in the video. I personally don't believe that there are any contradictions in the Bible. Things do seem like contradictions to us at times, but I know that is because we are in need of more Bible study as a whole book. The Calvinism debate is a hard one. I personally believe that God chose all of us to be saved, but that we have to choose Him to be chosen by Him in the end. We have to choose to receive His free gift through Jesus.
I don't plan to get involved in the debate. I'll leave that up to Vektek. She's really good at presenting her side. I watched some videos on it. I agree with the non-calvinist side. The videos present the sides far better than I could ever dream of. Both those guys are really smart in the videos that I posted.
