Clearly the main theme in the Bible is that all who believe will be saved. It's the great promise of God's love to us. With out this the Bible is nothing. At the same time there are clearly some Verses that support a pre-destination point of view. Maybe the mystery is in God's existence outside of time. It certainly is not in misrepresenting who the Bible clearly says God is. God is love. The absence of God is evil. Believing or not believing certainly has no bearing on His absolute sovereignty. I believe!

From the moment I began reading, I could sense the self-righteous know-it-all attitude of White & his dislike of Hunt. I could not stand it. Be wary of men like White who claim their religion is absolute truth. One of the many signs of a cult. 1 star for white. 5 stars for Hunt.

This book is an exercise in futility. What will lead you to each conclusion? You will be led to Calvinism by having the courage to believe the Word of God for what it plainly says, over and over and over and over and over... You will be led to Arminianism by a flawed human understanding of fairness, an extremely creative interpretation of scripture, an elevated view of man, and a lowered view of God.
