As one who would consider my view of sotieriolgy as "calvinistic" I concurrently abhor the views of hyper-calvinists. I guess I am sensitive since it seems some lately have been using the terms as interchangeable, when hyper-calvinism does have a historical meaning.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks again. A post on Calvinism would be Best Book Buyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16628382292067661322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117263.post-1150938467201084252006-06-21T21:07:00.000-04:002006-06-21T21:07:00.000-04:00Hi Russ.

I would be glad to explain my comment about Calvinism.<BR/>I was pointing out that while many Baptist bloggers are Calvinists, I do not necessarily agree with them about Calvinism. Rather than say "I am not a Calvinist," I chose to say, "I am not a hyper-Calvinist." Of course, "hyper-Calvinist" can mean different things to different people, and maybe that was a poor choice of words on myDr. Bob Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487895077204597740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117263.post-1150905234602853632006-06-21T11:53:00.000-04:002006-06-21T11:53:00.000-04:00Bro.

I think Jesse hit it on the head, anyone can blog or comment, which to my mind brings pro's and con's. I visit a couple of the blogs you mentioned daily and have hit all but one at some point in time. <BR/><BR/>Not wanting to hijack your post, but after you said most of the bloggers were calvinistic, you then said you were not a Best Book Buyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16628382292067661322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117263.post-1150857236803802542006-06-20T22:33:00.000-04:002006-06-20T22:33:00.000-04:00I agree with you, Bob.

I think that blogs are the first medium of mass communication that some of the entrenched elite just couldn't control (although attempts were and are being made to marginalize bloggers). What's the big deal about blogs? ANYONE can post a comment for the public to view - not true with other mediums of communication.

The funny thing about bloggers is that we rarely agree on everything (Calvinism, emerging church, non-essentials, etc.), but issues are highlighted in the marketplace of ideas and conversation is enabled.CWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05330876395340899950noreply@blogger.com
