The Five Points of Calvinism

Benchley, September 26, 2010

  • This is a very logical system, but it is based on a false premise and is thus false.
  • Total depravity
    • Ezekiel 18 – The man that sins bears his own guilt.
    • Mark 10:14 – Jesus said the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who are like children.  This does not make sense is children are totally depraved because of Adam’s sin.
    • Romans 5:12 – Death spread to all men because all men sinned.
  • Perseverance of saints
  • Irresistible grace
  • Limited atonement
  • Unconditional predestination

  • II Thessalonians 3:10 – Here is an example of Christians being commanded not to help one who is in need.
  • II Thessalonians 3:17 – This may mean that although Paul may have dictated the rest of the epistle to a stenographer, Paul signed the letter with his own hand.
  • I Thessalonians 1:9 – We must live to serve God if we are to have a hope of heaven.
  • I Thessalonians 4:13-18 – There are few things more comforting to someone who has lost a loved one than this passage.

Lesson 2:  Our Growth

  • The Christian graces (II Peter 1:5-7):
    • Faith
    • Virtue
    • Knowledge
    • Self-control
    • Steadfastness
    • Godliness
    • Brotherly affection
    • Love
  • II Peter 1:8-11 explains the results of these traits.
  • The traits:
    • Faith
      • Faith is a firm conviction.
      • We should have unlimited faith in God alone.
      • Physical things do not warrant unlimited faith.
