Article: “Why I’m not a Calvinist”
A blogger named “Ochuk” has written an interesting piece on why he is not a Calvinist. I found his argument compelling and his life-story affecting. The article is posted in a number of places (his personal blog & and at the Society of Evangelical Arminians), and defines the problem succinctly. He writes, “Was I chosen by God for salvation or was I eternally damned before I had done anything good or bad? … [M]y Calvinistic theology presented my needs for assurance with an epistemological problem: in order to have assurance I needed to know the status of my election, something that by definition is secret and cannot be known.”
