Giving Calvinism a ... longer glance

There is no objectivity because there is no basis for a reasonable expectation for others to agree with anything you say about God let alone what you claim God says. There is nothing absolute because the things people say about God or about what God says varies from person to person as well as from one religion to another. So this is at least as subjective and relative as anything coming from social convention.

I am a traditional Calvinist, and my subjective experience tells me that God is immutable.

Is my subjective experience wrong?

That is certainly not the type of statement (declaration of belief) I am likely to say is incorrect – just give my own view on the issue for comparison.

@mitchellmckain

So while the Calvinist idea of total depravity is wrong

@mitchellmckain

whether you think infants are born sinners. I certainly think that is wrong.

@mitchellmckain

Another thing that human theologians think they can say God cannot do – in particular that He cannot have an interactive relationship with us. Wrong!

(just some humble observations for awareness… for all your protestations on the other thread about how you recognize everyone’s views of God are subjective and would never call another one wrong, rather simply lay out your own view for comparison… it seems to this observer that regarding many people’s “declarations of belief” with which you disagree, you are in fact quite quick to say they are “incorrect”, rather than simply giving your own view for comparison, no?)
