Thanks for posting this. I do not follow this closely but am wondering if this means there is a parting of ways between preacher / theologians like John MacArthur and John Piper. I know they both identify as Calvinistic and have worked together in the past.

I would like to learn more about traditional Calvinistic theology and writings as I have found many proponents of this view do not seem to line up with scripture. However, I never heard MacArthur or Piper promoting these particular errors though they identify as Calvinistic. My study has been limited to the Bible on these topics. I have wondered for a long time if the problem is that some of Calvin’s views are being misrepresented or misunderstood.

Wish I had more time to explore and study this.

I would guess that if someone read mostly the Bible, then they read Calvin’s Institutes, they’d see a certain difference.

Then, if another person reads mostly the Institutes and let’s say ten more theologians, and a lesser amount of the Bible, there would be even more noticed differences.
