Pilgrim,

Calvinism requires one to believe in Predestination to be saved... at some point. Because some of you stated that you didn’t start out Calvinistic. How can one love if one isn’t free to love?

I don’t have a problem with education, or study, etc. But my observation (which is subjectively mine, thus incorrect) is that this topic is The Focus of Reformed Theology. In other words, Predestination is The message that comes through.

I do believe that Truth is absolute... You are convinced ‘Sola Scripture’ indicates TULIP, I am not; there are strong arguments refuting.

I will however, continue to consider this issue.
