This Week in Calvinism - November 2, 2018

• Roger Olson has long believed that "the God of TULIP Calvinism cannot be good." Well, he's still at it:

  So, when I argue that God predestining to eternal torment those he could save would be not good but evil I am not imposing an alien, philosophical concept of "good" on God. I am simply following Edwards in believing that "good" is self-evidently benevolence to being—even in God.

  Shouldn't the "good" in anything be judged in light of bringing glory to God? If the punishment of sin glorifies God, then the God of TULIP Calvinism cannot help but be good.
