If you are Calvinist you will appreciate this. If you are Arminians, well, it should make you at least go, “Hmmmm…”

    It’s time for Calvinists to stop limiting God and His Sovereignty! Stop following Calvin and start following Christ and you will become a Biblicist and leave Calvinism. Both Calvinism and Arminianism are wrong because the box they put God in is too small. When you start following Christ, you will realize that there is no conflict between the sovereignty of God and the free will of man. You will begin to believe everything between the covers of the Book!

    With all due respect, you appear to have a misunderstanding of Calvinism if you think that Calvinists believe that there is conflict between the sovereignty of God and the free will of man.

    Seems like you’ve defined what is commonly called “hyper-calvinism” as Calvinism, a common mistake.

    For a more accurate understanding, I recommend the following:

    Living for God’s Glory

    Author: Joel R. Beeke
    Hardcover , 416 pages

    Dr. Joel R. Beeke aims to “cover the intellectual and spiritual emphases of Calvinism, the way it influences the church and everyday living, and its ethical and cultural implications” in his latest book, Living for God’s Glory: An Introduction to Calvinism. In this comprehensive survey of Reformed Christianity, Dr. Beeke and eight fellow contributors offer twenty-eight chapters that trace the history of Calvinism; explore its key doctrinal tenets, such as the so-called five points of Calvinism and the solas of the Protestant Reformation; reveal how Calvinists have sought to live in devotion to God; and survey Calvinism’s influence in the church and in the world at large. In the end, the book asserts that the overriding goal of Calvinism is the glory of God. Saturated with Scripture citations and sprinkled with quotations from wise giants of church history, this book presents Calvinism in a winsome and wondrous fashion.
