Irresistible Grace/Determinism... Is Either True? Here's a different take on this

How do we reorganize this traveling band called Cliffside? Pastor says, "We ask more questions." The question we tackle today is (an I'll paraphrase), "Can pastor Chronister explain the difference between irresistible grace and free will belief when it comes to the Calvinist verses Arminianism debate?" But there are other questions we'll see blended in today as well, because the initial question could take quite a while, being that the definition of beliefs held by these entities is being constantly modified... but here goes. Our pastor dutifully complies.

We're going with Chronister's definition of Irresistible Grace. There's an alignment between Calvinism and Catholicism. I'll interject here for a second here. Our pastor talked with me before the broadcast and said he no longer cares if this topic makes people mad, because he's old now. The connection with the Atheistic Materialistic Determinism view and the Calvinistic view is something to be very wary of. If God is responsible for everything, then He is responsible for... Sin. Did God give His creation free will? Did He create beings that were only capable of evil? But the requirement Calvinists give that the debate is between what they believe and Arminianism is so messed up because it does not get you to a Biblical answer. See Psalm 36:5-7 for the real answer to what God really is with His relation to us. Then you match that with Luke 11:9-13.

Bottom line here is... Get ready to receive an answer to this that you may not have ever considered. Why? Because... That's what he does.

Thank you for joining us. It's okay to write this pastor with questions and encouragement.
