What has been noticed, and this point will close the message, is that Calvinism seems to work for people until bad things happen to ‘them.’ You see, Calvinism is very comfortable and makes life comfortable until something particularly bad happens to someone and they have to say it was supposed to happen. Often, people’s Calvinism gets shaken and rattled when really bad things happen. The minister will say, “Well, God has something for you to learn with your son dying.” And all one needs to ask the minister in response is, “And what did God have for the son to learn who is now dead?” Thus, the folly of such an answer presents itself. Calvinism is a well-structured and well thought-out system of theology, but people truly need to consider carefully what has been said here, and whether what they believe really, at the end of the day, lines up with what the Bible actually says.
