“DOES CHANGING THE LABEL
ON A BOTTLE
CHANGE THE CONTENTS?”
“DOES
CHANGING THE LABEL
ON A BOTTLE
CHANGE THE
CONTENTS?”
Take off
the ‘Calvinism’ label and stick on
‘The
Doctrines of Grace’ label.
In
Queensland, Australia, there is an educational
grading system for students leaving High School to determine the
best down
to the worst … with the former entering universities and colleges of
Advanced
Education and so on.
Then the label
became … High Distinction,
Distinction, Credit, Pass etc
Then a new
label changed to a points system
… 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Then this label
was quietly removed and it
became something else … before it morphed into what is currently the label
called ATAR scores, where 100 points is the highest and so on. Also
incorporated into this, students, indeed any adult, can apply to have
Recognition for Past Experience and Prior Learning added to the mix.
The reason
for all these changes over time is that
there are inherent flaws in any educational grading system, and
when,
inevitably, the voting public become aware of them, politicians get
very
nervous and change the label and the rules … to introduce
another ‘more
acceptable’, although equally unfair, grading system.
Fix the
problem? … no worries … “Let’s just change
the label!”
Now this
applies to theology … and the current case
in point is the bottle labelled “The Doctrines of Grace” ….
formerly
labelled Calvinism … and before that it had the Roman
Catholicism
label on it … preceded by the original label … Augustinianism.
As
Christians become aware of each new change, it
necessitates, that the forces of evil put on a different face … whereby
the
knowledge about the poisonous contents of the bottle, are kept
hidden
and secret.
As the
saying goes “A rose by any other name smells
the same.”
Similarly
“A Stinking Roger, an odious smelling
herb, by any other name, smells the same.”
To wit:
Augustinianism grace … Phew! That smells!
Roman Catholic grace … Phew! That smells too!
Calvinism grace … Phew! That’s on the nose as well! Aaaargh!
Now of
course Dear Reader, you’ll be ‘hip to this
kind of lip’ … and what this stands for … that an unbeliever must
be
regenerated and born again before he can get saved.
That’s
right Dear Reader, it’s entirely up to The
Doctrines of Grace pagan capricious ‘God’ to select a man before
the foundations
of the world, to be saved 6,000 years later … WHETHER HE LIKES IT
OR NOT!
So Dear
Reader, eat drink and be merry and quietly
await your fate … selected for heaven or cast into hell … it’s not
your
decision!
