Well, is it?

You know all those things you have such a wealth of knowledge of? All those things that you are have mastered?

Most of us think we have the skinny on what the Bible has to say. I am one of those people.

This is the issue. After I’m done talking to you about your theological persuasion I have no idea how it influences your walk with God. You believe this, that, and the other, and I have no idea how you put into practice what you claim to believe.

Talk to me about how your theology influences your view of God and relationship to Him.

Here’s a hypothetical, bad converstation: The crazed Arminian says, “I believe in free will! I think that God loves everyone, and everyone gets a choice! Calvinism is heresy!” After this kind of ridiculous jargon I (the flaming Calvinist) tend to respond in anger or frustration. Something like this: “Shut up, Arminian.”

Here’s a hypothetical, good conversation: The (still) crazed Arminian says, “I believe in free will. I’m thankful that God has given us a choice. This causes me to have a true passion to reach souls for Christ.” I (still a flaming Calvinist) say, “Dude, I think that’s great. We do have our disagreements, but I’m thankful that is how your theology influences your day-to-day.”

The End.
