In this bombshell Episode, Calvinism's contamination of church history is traced back to the Gnostic Manichaean views introduced into the church by Augustine. Although unanimously condemned as heresy by the early church fathers for 400 years, these views paved the way for Calvinism, namely a deterministic/fatalistic definition of God's sovereign, micro-managing decree of literally everything. As Your Hosts(Bro. Derek Rich and Pastor Matney) will reveal, Augustine's Gnostic philosophies were smuggled into the church as orthodox in his dishonest effort to condemn as a heretic, a man named Pelagius, whose doctrine was not new to the earliest church fathers who also upheld man's free will/choice against determinism and Gnostic depravity, nor did Pelagius deny man's need for God's grace for salvation as often accused by proponents of Calvinism. In this second part of "A Crash Course in Calvinism", You will be startled to hear how the residue of "Calvinism's Contamination" has reached far beyond the issue of how men are converted, but to how the will and sovereignty of God are understood in every area.

In this Episode, Your Hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich) begin to introduce a subject that they will further unveil at a later date on "The Shield & Sword Podcast". The Topic on hand is Part One of a Two Part subject, "A Crash Course in Calvinism"; the contents of Part One will focus on the subtitle, "Calvinism's Collapse." Your Hosts discuss the doctrine of Calvinism by focusing on the acrostic, TULIP. In addition to this, they read a reputable Calvinist’s own explanations of the acrostic(TULIP), and reply with Biblically measured responses . A vital point is made as to where Calvinists often prefer to begin with “Total Depravity”, rather than where one must begin with what they call God’s “Sovereign Decree” or “Determinism.” A small sampling of the Scriptural and logical fallacies of Calvinism are explored, thus exposing its collapse into absurdity, with even blasphemous implications. Calvinism’s irreconcilable contradictions prove its own application to be the sword on which it dies. "The Shield & Sword Podcast" is a Ministry of the FULL GOSPEL FAITH MINISTRIES.
