This Week in Calvinism - June 24, 2016

• Even many professing Christians shy away from the doctrine of total depravity, "Which is a shame," writes Tony Petersen, "because, if anything, the Bible is harsher on the question than TULIP."
  
  
• Calvinism found in John 3.
  
  
• Ennis Pepper gives nine reasons why Calvinism is illogical (and cruel, and abusive, and responsible for the Holocaust, etc.). Each point has been refuted countless times over the years, but for some reason they still persist.
  
  
• Benjamin Corey may be on his way to becoming a Calvinist. Three points down (UIP), only two to go!
  
  
• More pleas for Calvinist and non-Calvinist Southern Baptists to get along.
  
  
• Tim Challies explains why he is not dispensational.
