"...This is actually what struck me the most: <br /><br />"We realize that Calvinists (at least most) do not believe God is a monster, but we are saying if WE believed what they believe we would find it necessary to think of God that way–as indistinguishable from the devil."<br /><br />Roger Olson is willing to admit that "most" Calvinists do not believe God is a moral monster. (Gee, thanks for the benefit of the doubt Roger. Why only "most"? Have you actually met a Calvinist who believes that God is a moral monster? But I digress.) And yet, instead of asking himself "Why is it that they do not see God as a moral monster? I would if I believed that", he just simply shrugs us off as "wrong" because he is quite comfortable in his views and can't be bothered with trying to actually understand his theological opponents' position.<br /><br />However, instead of thinking of us as just "wrong" thinking brothers, he indirectly implies that we are devil worshipers. <br /><br />Classy, Roger. But I suppose you don't think we deserve charity or the benefit of the doubt do you?<br /><br />It's truly amazing how close someone can come to the truth, yet refuse to believe it.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623318488973342836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-65319534199929326772011-10-10T22:03:37.833-04:002011-10-10T22:03:37.833-04:00Based on his very public theological positions I t...Based on his very public theological positions I think it's arguable that Olson operates in the spirit of anti-christ.<br /><br />He's so wed to his sub-Biblical semi-pelagian traditions that he's willfully blind to the truth.<br /><br />As Steve rightly points out, where Scripture doesn't agree with his personal opinions he simply jettisons the Scripture in favor of his personal opinions.<br /><br />Bible believing Christian: <i>"I think 'A', but the Bible teaches 'X'; I must be wrong, and therefore should conform my thinking to Scripture."</i><br /><br />Roger Olson: <i>"I think 'A', but the Bible teaches 'X'; the Bible must be wrong and therefore I should conform Scripture to my thinking."</i><br /><br />In Christ,<br />CDCoram Deohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03504564435400500996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-85893405260200819582011-10-10T21:19:02.889-04:002011-10-10T21:19:02.889-04:00Olson is an antichrist.Olson is an antichrist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
