By Dave Hunt
A book about Calvinism's misrepresentaion of God.
Revised - 3rd Edition (2006)
A Brief Word from the author:
Discussions with many people around the world reveal
that multitudes of sincere, Bible-believing Christians
are "Calvinists" only by default. Thinking that the only
choice is between Calvinism with its doctrine of eternal
security and Arminianism with its falling away, and
confident that salvation cannot be lost because of Christ's
promise to keep eternally those who believe in Him, they
therefore consider themselves to be Calvinists.
It takes only a few simple questions to discover the fact
that most of those who regard themselves as Calvinists
are largely unaware of what John Calvin and his early
followers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
actually believed and practiced. Nor do they fully
understand what most of today's leading Calvinists believe.
While there are disputed variations of this doctrine,
among its chief proponents (whom we quote extensively in
context) there is general agreement on certain core
beliefs. Multitudes who believe they understand Calvinism
will be shocked to discover its Roman Catholic roots and
Calvin's grossly un-Christian behavior as the "Protestant
Pope" of Geneva, Switzerland.
Most shocking of all, however, Calvinism's misrepresentation
of God who "is love." It is our prayer that this book
will enable readers to examine more carefully the vital
issues involved and to follow God's Holy Word and not man.
