James,
Wow, this is truly amazing. Looks like Concordia should send you another book. Lutherans are indeed indebted to you.
I like your objective, balanced and unbiased approach to scrutinuse and debunk myths, your clarity of mind, you do not allow emotions to cloud your judgments, and your tenacity to pursue the truth as far down the road as possible.
How about doing the same for the Armninians? Abingdon Press may send you free book too? I recently realised that the Lutherans and Reformed also have lots of unfounded myths about Arminianism which needs to be debunked as well, example that Arminianism is a man-centred and not God-centred theology and so on. Only people like you can do them real justice.
Thanks for your support Martin.
As to "Arminian" the problem as I see it is that unless someone tells me what they mean by the term, I'm not sure what they mean.
From a Reformed perspective, the term generally means anything having to do with synergism in regard to God's saving work. Perhaps we from the Reformed perspective would be better to simply stick with the terms monergism and synergism, as the term "Arminian" isn't used often even by those I would consider "Arminian."
When a Reformed person sees synergism in salvation, it usually means that somehow man has the final say in his own salvation. That's why they the Reformed state "man-centered" rather than "God-centered" in regard to those they classify as Arminian.
Typically, as I've talked with non-Reformed people that ultimately find man having the final say in salvation, the terms are switched around a bit to make their theology "God-centered." The problem then is defining what is meant by "God-centered" and "man-centered."
Unless terms are carefully defined, such conversations will be fruitless.
Hi James,
Thanks for the note. It is also interesting what Roger Olson has to say at link below http://www.patheos.com/blogs/rogereolson/2010/11/arminianism-is-god-centered-theology/
