The Doctrine of Eternal Life: A Civil-Minded Study of Calvinism and Arminianism in the Light of Scripture (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781645696599)

The Doctrine of Eternal Life is a civil-minded study of Calvinism and Arminianism in the light of scripture. It answers many questions that have plagued both followers of John Calvin and Jacobus Arminius alike. Questions are answered as such: Does the Bible really teach that God chooses some people for heaven and some for hell? Can eternal life be lost? Why in 2 Timothy 2:10 was Paul willing to endure all things for the elect's sake so that they may obtain salvation, if the elect were already saved? Is eternal life given by God as a gift or as a payment for doing good works?

Discover the doctrine that Calvin seemingly overlooked, which led to some lengthy and unnecessary teachings. Where did Arminius depart from a fundamental truth of scripture? What is the Bible definition of eternal life? Is the future written in stone? And of course, a simple, Bible-based explanation of the "TULIP" doctrine.

Learn how a brilliant theologian with a single innocent assumption may arrive at an incorrect conclusion, while a lowly person with average intelligence using a superior method of study may arrive at the correct conclusion.
