WHY CALVINISM IS RECOGNIZED AS A SYSTEM OF DOUBLE-THINK
Min 4:46 – Calvinist Steve Lawson
-quote
“We’re dependent upon god to open people’s eyes and *ALLOW* them to see the truth.”
Do we see the reference here to ALLOW?
A conception – only logically coherent with the existence of “mere” permission.
A conception that requires at least some minimal degree of mental autonomy.
Both of which are totally rejected in the Calvinist’s systematic.
Calvin’s god does not *ALLOW* people to do anything.
Because “mere” permission logically entails Libertarian functionality
Which – as Calvinist Paul Helm’s affirms: “Is ruled out by determinism”.
So how can the Calvinist mind explicitly reject “mere” permission – predicated on Libertarian functionality – and then without blinking implicitly appeal to what he rejects.
ITS CALLED DOUBLE-THINK

“Go about your office AS-IF nothing is determined in any part”

“Here me carefully. If you are totally determined, then you are pre-wired, to think the way you do. Your nature is that you are hard-wired to come out to a single conclusion.
What is input into the computer is what ultimately comes out.
This is the bondage of total subjectivity.”
Similar to Solipsism – Calvinism requires DOUBLE-THINK
And the outward expression of DOUBLE-THINK is DOUBLE-SPEAK
Zacharias among others don’t see the contradiction in the eternal now or exhaustive foreknowledge that they hold. Pre-determined and pre-known and pre-scripted have the same impact on alternative choices.

The John Calvin quote is funny. There is a Soviet propaganda poster for Soviet workers which states “Work as if you are working for yourself”.
