I am glad to know that there are more here as well.<br /><br />I really think that the Arminian is overly focused on the damnation rather than salvation. What I believe that they are failing to realize is that we all deserve damnation, but God chooses to intervene and save some. None of us would choose Him voluntarily.<br /><br />I am not sure what Calvin's thoughts were on appointed damnation, but I bet this week we will find out. My personal thought is that some are elected to salvation and others are judged according to their works. We know that our works are not enough to attain salvation, but those outside of grace will have their chance to defend themselves.George P.

I think the concern is appointed damnation, moreso than appointed life. Do you think Calvin intended to infer appointed damnation, or was it just a lesser developed conclusion, a secondary consequence of the doctrine of election as some say?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
