The " intelligentsia" ( scribes & scholars) have a strong tendency to lean toward Calvinism, since it is a religion of the " MIND" (the " intellect") and NOT the " HEART" and most certainly not of the Holy Scriptures as brother Vance has demonstrated in his most excellent book refuting Calvinism, and as I did in my (not so excellent) expose here on the AV1611 Bible Forums.
All the "issues of life" proceed from out of the "heart" and NOT the "mind", and therein lays the " fatal flaw" of Calvinism.I'm not interested in modern day " theology"; and I have even less use for modern day " theologians, academicians, and others in theological fields."
I want to know what God has to say about Himself; His creation; mankind; His people; and the issues of life, NOT what some puffed up, egotistical, vain, and arrogant "theologian" thinks! ![EEK!](images/smilies/eek.gif) Why do you suppose when the Lord Jesus picked His disciples that there wasn't a " scholar" or a " scribe" amongst them? Hmmm? ![Confused](images/smilies/confused.gif) {Just so no one's " sensitive feelings" are hurt - the foregoing comments are not directed specifically at any one person on this Forum - BUT, on the other hand, " if the shoe fits"!}
Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Proverbs 26:12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

Dear Brother your study on the errors of Calvinism is also a fantastic resource, that I have printed, filed and shared. And also comes highly recommended to any babes in Christ that are struggling with the subject of Calvinism.
