AUDIO TRANSCRIPT:
Dave: The most epic internal Christian debate… Who is right – Calvinists or
Arminians? Predestination and free will…Jeff: I’m not going to answer that.
Dave: But… I wanna know…
Jeff: Here’s what I will tell you – Jacob Arminius lived just a few years after John
Calvin, and did you know that Arminius LOVED Calvin’s writings?!Dave: The way most people talk, these guys should’ve faced each other in mortal
combat.Jeff: The reality is that Arminius actually said this: “Next to the perusal of the
Scriptures… I exhort my pupils to peruse CALVIN’S commentaries… [Calvin] excels
beyond comparison in the interpretation of Scripture, and that his commentaries
ought to be more highly valued than all that is handed down to us by [previous
teachers]”Dave: That’s a serious compliment.
Jeff: You think that’s good? Later Arminius says that Calvin had an eminent gift of
prophecy.Dave: In other words, though there is difference of opinion we should be able to
have some serious mutual respect for each other.
