Calvinism vs. Christianity?
My friends Junior and Ryan have been having a civil discussion on their blogs about the differences between Calvinism, Hyper-Calvinism, traditional Christianity, and all sorts of other things. It is an interesting discussion to say the least.
Unfortunately, I have only recently discovered their blogs and my time is very limited with work, mariachi, church, and everything else going on in my world. In an effort to read the discussion in its proper order, I have undertaken the task of finding each of the posts in their conversation and listing them here in chronological order. That way, as my time permits, I can go and read each argument in order and hopefully not get too lost…

Have I left any out? Needless to say, this will be interesting reading as I actually get some time to set aside and read through the conversation (including comments). Thanks to you two for posting this. Whether we agree completely or not, the discussion of these kinds of things are great and it’s always beneficial to get other viewpoints so we can find where other people come from.
