“Who would believe that a teacher who withholds the information students need to pass a course merely permitted them to fail? What if that teacher said, "I didn't cause them to fail; they did it on their own"? Would anyone accept that explanation or would they accuse the teacher of not merely permitting the students to fail, but actually causing them to fail? And what if the teacher argued that he actually planned and rendered the students' failure certain for a good reason—to uphold academic standards and show what a great teacher he is by demonstrating how necessary his information is for students to pass? Would not these admissions only deepen everyone's conviction that the teacher is morally and professionally wrong?” CalvinismSovereignty Of GodReformed TheologyArminianismDivine DeterminismRoger Olson Book:Against Calvinism: Rescuing God's Reputation from Radical Reformed Theology Source: Against Calvinism: Rescuing God's Reputation from Radical Reformed Theology
