- Dr. Cornelis Venema speaks about the doctrine of election. His book, Chosen in Christ: Revisiting the Contours of Predestination, is available in Mentor’s Reformed, Exegetical, and Doctrinal Studies series. Venema addresses the subject from exegetical, historical, contemporary, and pastoral vantage points. In this conversation, he addresses the doctrine of election in the Old and New Testaments, the relationship between covenant and election, the polemical discourse between Augustine and Pelagius, and the revisionist doctrine of Karl Barth.
Dr. Venema is President and Professor of Doctrinal Studies at Mid-America Reformed Seminary in Dyer, Indiana. He is the author of several books, including Promise of the Future, Christ and Covenant Theology, and Children at the Lord’s Table? Assessing the Case for Paedocommunion.

This looks fantastic, great quality stuff
For by Gods Grace we are Saved, thru Faith, that Not of ourselves, it is the Gift of God.
perfectly summarized arlie for real
Cornelis feels the Scripture has at its core Gods purpose. Gods purpose, Gods will, Gods Design, Gods Choices, Gods Plan, Gods Election is a core thread of Christianity according to Professor Venema. And I feel he just may be right
The winde blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

boring, ridiculous theology.
How so many people with so many advanced degrees can believe this ridiculous doctrine is completely beyond me. It's so blatantly obviously wrong, with having to redefine what words "really" mean instead of just reading them, with having to add different types of will for God to get around the passages that completely contradict the doctrine, etc it's just weird that anybody believes this. It's sorta like how we still have communists thinking that's the way to go despite every single nation without exception that's every tried to organize a communist state becoming a hellhole of human rights violations. Venezuela, Cuba, Cambodia, Vietnam, North Korea, Nicaragua, China - all of them with people desperate to escape and come to the west, but meanwhile we have a bunch of people here in the west who are trying to remake us into the exact nations that the people are fleeing.
Have you ever read Romans 9 carefully and considered what Paul is talking about? It is
bible you know. Or should God think as you do? God is not this supposed Humantarian, he's God. It Shall be as He declares it shall be.
If we stay immature is that God's fault. His written word Cannot change.Please give it some thought, I had to several years ago. I thought
that could not be true but I am not God, He is and I accepted His truth.
