From TheApologeticsGroup.com:
"Just what is "Calvinism?" Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won't evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God's sovereignty and man's responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists deny the Arminian definition of free will and label it heresy? Why did the Roman Catholic Church condemn the Reformed teaching of predestination and election and embrace free will theology? And why do so many Protestants, perhaps unwittingly, agree with Rome on this issue?

Amazing Grace - The History and Theology of Calvinism is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. This fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten "Sunday-school-sized" sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer. "

Where can I buy this in the Philippines? Danke! =)

[strgglngmusician]

This just seems like a bunch of advertising to me

[bluetew37]

Just b/c a resource comes along at the right time doesnt mean it is true or from God.The Devil is the ruler of this world and will do anything he can to help you suppress the truth.

[MODERATECALVINISM]

Psalms 43:5

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

[7777albina]

I also can not say enough good about this video, it is very well made, very intresting and scriptural sound. Well worth the money, this a powerfull teaching, and should be shown to every church whether they reject it or not. :)

If you love truth please buy it.

Lane, as you should know, the history presented in this DVD is fabricated, lopsided, and nothing more than propaganda to support Calvinism. It presents a misleading and dishonest representation of Arminianism.

[CripForChrist]

if you read augustine's writings he was a "calvinist" in the true sense of the word...calvin and augustine had very similar beliefs...

as a matter of fact, "calvinism" could accurately be called Augustinianism.. Augustine believed in the "5 points" before they formally exhisted...atleast in written out form

[wood9670]

@CripForChrist. I was speaking of the sect of Calvinism as a whole.

I don't except that a theology and biblical interpretation that ignores the beliefs, practices, and understandings of all Christians of the first 1500 years of Christianity.

It seems to me that Calvin took a little bit from Augustine and goofed it all up, contradicting Augustine's teachings.

[CripForChrist]

the DoG was not something that can only be traced to the 1500's....it was waaaay before that,...Augustine believed in the "DoG"

[wood9670]

I am Catholic so my authority resides in the Magisterium of the Church, the teachings of the early Church fathers, & the scriptures.

& my point about one having a bias is relevant in that most ppl are not be aware of their presuppositions. I attempt to make them aware so that they can defend those presuppositions logically.

In respect to sola scriptura, I would like to know how one comes to know this doctrine is true and if one can demonstrate if Christians have historically affirmed it.
