Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":
* John 3:16: God has taken and continues to take the initiative in anyone’s salvation. In this respect “Calvinism” is true.
* Verses 18, 19: the lost will have taken the initiative in their own damnation. In this respect, “Calvinism” is wrong; that wasn’t God’s initiative.
* John 4:42: Christ is the Savior of the world, not only of those who believe.
* Luke 19:14: unbelievers refuse to let Christ be what He is, to them.
* Leviticus 25:10: Christ has given “liberty” of choice to everyone.
* John 6:32, 33, 53: His sacrifice has given every one all the good, all the happiness and peace he has ever known, including love. Arminianism supporters understand that the cross does no one any good unless he believes and obeys;
* 1 Timothy 4:10: thus they question that He is the Savior of “all men.”
* Romans 3:23, 24: the “all [who] sinned” are the same as the all who are “justified freely by His grace.” Arminianism supporters say “all” are not “justified freely” until they take the initiative to believe and obey.
* Romans 5:15-18: the same “all men” upon whom came legal condemnation in the first Adam have been given the “gift” that grace gives—legal justification in the One who is the second Adam.
* Deuteronomy 25:1: justification is more than a legal assumption or even a “making” righteous; a Hebrew judge must examine the evidence and “declare” a verdict; he couldn’t “make” the accused to be either.
* Galatians 2:16-21: the evidence in our case is totally Christ’s righteousness in that He has identified with our fallen humanity and conquered sin therein. It is in our fallen, sinful nature where He won the decisive battle for ever.
