Calvinism Part 13:? Limited Atonement and Ulrich Zwingli
By David Watson
Benchley, September 30, 2009
- Did Jesus come to save or to make men savable (continued)?
- Galatians 1:3?- Calvinists use this passage to argue that Jesus saves, not that He came to make men savable.
- I Timothy 1:15
- Answer:? the fact that Jesus saves does not exclude the fact that man also has responsibility.
- John 8:24
- The Calvinist always looks at these issues with the idea that if anything depends upon man, God is no longer sovereign.? But the fact is, God has always allowed people to make their own choices which then affect outcomes.
- God’s sovereignty is not threatened by man’s choices.? The reason for this is that God is the final judge.? Ecclesiastes 11:9
- Both.? The Calvinist is trying to force a distinction into the Bible here.
- He Himself said there are conditions.? (Matthew 7:21; Mark 16:16; John 8:24, etc.)
- Arminianism
- The five points of Calvinism came about in a synod convened to consider five points of faith brought up by Arminius.? The synod decided that Arminius’ points of faith were not scriptural and so rejected them and decided on the five points of Calvinism to combat his teaching.
- Ulrich Zwingli? (January 1, 1484 – October 11, 1531)
- Swiss chaplain and preacher who preached against being a mercenary (and indulgences).
- Read a copy of the Novum Testamentum Omne from Desiderius Erasmus in 1516, the first complete New Testament in Greek in many, many years.
- The sausage supper.
- March 1522:? sausage supper during Lent.
- Sermon:? “On the Choice and Freedom of Food”
- This became the start of the Reformation in Switzerland.
