Hello and welcome back to Sociology 101.

Recently, someone sent me a link to this clip from Wretched Radio,

a Calvinistic brother who does all kinds of programs and all different kinds of subjects.

And he's playing a clip, an old clip from Dr. John MacArthur, who is addressing the controversy

of Calvinism versus Armenianism. Of course, this is usually the dichotomy that's been set up.

It's either Calvinist or Armenian. You have to be in one of the other two camps in the mind

of some. We, of course, as provisionistsists have rejected that and said, no, we prefer not to be called

Armenian, though we may side with them on sociological issues for the most part.

But we have some differing of opinions from our Armenian friends.

We have articles there at Sociology 101 to tell you a little bit more about why we don't refer

to ourselves as Armenians or as Calvinist,

or as two-point Calvinist, or three-point Calvinist,

or sometimes the vernacular is used.

And when you listen to this video clip from Dr. McArthur,

I want you to notice a couple of things.

Notice first and foremost that he front end loads Calvinism.

In other words, he brings the presupposition of, well, Calvinism is obviously true, but then

there's all these other controversial statements that make it seem like Calvinism might not be

true, but we just have to punt to mystery because we just have to accept that Calvinism is true.

That's ultimately what this speech is.

But I want you to hear it for yourself as we can interact with it and listen to the introduction

from a fellow Calvinist saying, hey, this is how we should handle this controversy.
