Phil's Question

"A Question for Our Arminian Readers"

by Phil Johnson

"How is it that God inspired the Scriptures in such a way that every word—indeed, every jot and tittle—was what He determined?

Every standard evangelical definition of inspiration would emphatically insist that God used the personalities, vocabularies, intellects, and learning of the individual authors—and we completely agree. Let's also stipulate that He did not employ dictation (except in a few cases where this is expressly stated).

Yet the product was still determined sovereignly by God. The words are avowedly His words (2 Peter 1:21; 1 Corinthians 2:13).

So how did this miracle occur?

I say you cannot answer that question without embracing the very essence of the Calvinist position regarding God's sovereignty and human free will."

I agree that this is a "hard nut" for Arminians and those who promote human free will. Don't you think?

The last time I checked, Phil had over a hundred comments from both Arminians and Calvinists. Not one Arminian had cracked the nut.
