WHAT IS ARMINIANISM AND CALVINISM
There is way too much useless confusion about these two schools of theology that have more in common than not.This discussions will be done in an effort to clear up some misunderstandings between the 2 major schools of Theology, so we can equip ourselves correctly.
I will give the basics and go a little deep into each system. Roger Olson has written a wonderful book detailing common misconceptions Calvinist hold about Arminians and there are many books also showing how Arminians misunderstand Reformed Theology. This is a very important topic family.
>>Jacobus Arminius (October 10, 1560–October 19, 1609), the Latinized name of the Dutch theologian Jakob Harmenszoon from the Protestant Reformation period, (also known by the Anglicized names of Jacob Arminius or James Arminius), served from 1603 as professor in theology at the University of Leiden. He wrote many books and treatises on theology, and his views became the basis of Arminianism and the Dutch Remonstrant movement.Wesley. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobus_Arminius
>>John Calvin (Middle French: Jean Cauvin) (10 July 1509 – 27 May 1564) was an influential French theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation. He was a principal figure in the development of the system of Christian theology later called Calvinism. Originally trained as a humanist lawyer, he broke from the Roman Catholic Church around 1530. After religious tensions provoked a violent uprising against Protestants in France, Calvin fled to Basel, Switzerland, where in 1536 he published the first edition of his seminal work Institutes of the Christian Religion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Calvin

Ouch! Sounds to me like we desperately need some help. We are unable on our own to do anything to gain that position so promised to us by God to all that believe. We are totally dependent upon Him for life, holiness, righteousness and all that required of man by God. Only through Christ can we be redeemed from this desperate position we find ourselves in. Only through Christ can we be restored to God for life and that life eternal. Let us bow our heads to Him in gratefulness and praise for the glory He has bestowed upon us by His grace.
This message preached some 150 years ago is still as relevant to us today as it was the day it was preached. Man has not improved. He still desperately needs a Savior to do for Him what he cannot do for himself.
O Glory be to our Lord and Savior who has redeemed us from the terrible despotism. We consider ourselves capable of turning from our despotism. Yet, you are controlled by that which is corrupt - a rule of complete anarchy. I am amazed by those who believe that have enough goodness in them to turn to Christ.
Praise God for His wonderful grace.
Thank you Pastor Dave for your hard work. I needed this this morning. I am looking forward to the remaining two segments of the sermon.
Totally grateful,
Roy -

I was having the same problem. If you wait a while for it to load and then start, it does better. The second one didn't seem to do that.

Praise God Pastor Roy,
If you liked those two, you are really going to enjoy these two. My brother leave it to Spurgeon to colorfully, poetically and by the power of the Holy Spirit preach not with eloquent words, but with power.
