Calvinism in the Light of Scripture

By Tom Ray

The third edition of "Calvinism in The Light of God's Word" expands the discussion on Calvinism's definition of each of the five letters of the acronym "T.U.L.I.P" as seen in the light of God's word.
Some five-point "experts" in Calvinism make the claim that their doctrine is the only doctrine that is truly biblical (all cults make the same claim). Can Calvinism biblically justify their claim? This book on Calvinism uses may verses through the Bible to illustrate how Calvinism stands in the light of Scripture.
There are non-Calvinists who believe that there are parts of the doctrine of Calvinism that is biblical. The reader may be surprised, or even astounded, if close examination of Calvinism's definition of each letter in the acronym T.U.L.I.P is compared to scripture.
Those who believe that a part of Calvinism is biblical need to read this book Anyone that cannot afford one should send a request to the email address shown at the end of this analysis and request a free copy.
All things presented as spiritual truth must be compared with the word of God. Many things taught as spiritual truth, when seen in the light of Scripture, contradicts God's word.
Calvinism presents the five major pillars of their doctrine by their definition of the letters in the acronym TULIP. For example, the "T" in TULIP stands for total depravity, the U for unconditional election, the L for limited atonement, the I for irresistible grace and the P for preservation of the saints.
Calvinism's definition of each of the letters of the acronym TULIP does not agree with the holy bible. For example, the "T" in the acronym, TULIP is for "total depravity." God's word teaches that humanity is spiritually depraved, but Calvinist's defined total depravity to agree with their concept of election and their concept of election differs from election in the holy bible.
Christian believers must diligently evaluate all things presented as spiritual truth in the light of Scripture. The universally accepted meaning of words, as defined by a dictionary, are sometimes vastly different than the way some spiritual sects define them. Those who love and seek truth must be aware of such tactics to avoid being deceived by those doctrines.
Some Calvinists teach that only five-point Calvinists are truly Calvinists. Also, some Calvinists do not agree with the "experts" in the doctrine that God, because He is sovereign, causes all things. If God causes all things, that would, of course, include sin.
Does Christianity believe that God causes sin, or do they believe that He is eternally holy, righteous, and just? Christianity should not be confused on this issue.
Some Calvinists believe that if a Christian is not Calvinist, then he or she is Armenian. Arminianism is the doctrine of Christianity as taught by Jacobus Arminius. Most Christians do not know who Jacobus Arminius is, or what he believed and taught; therefore, how could they be Armenian? Also, most Christians do not know the difference in Calvinism and Arminianism.
Many Christians and Calvinists do not seem to know much about the doctrine of Calvinism as taught by the "experts." That is especially so for those who are not five-point Calvinists. A question explored and answered in this book is whether the Calvinists know the true meaning of the word, "sovereign." Calvinism uses the word in a way that indicates they believe that because God is sovereign, He can do anything, whatsoever. Is that true?
