A Calvinist critique of Armininianism to the tune of Amazing Grace:Arminian grace! How strange the sound
Salvation hinged on ME
I once was lost then turned around
Was blind then chose to see
Not to be outdone, here is the Arminian response:
Amazing thought! You call it "grace"
That saves and damns at whim?
That blinds the lost, condemns a host
And turns them into toast?
Tis "grace" like this that makes me fear
This "grace" my fear inspires:
Whatever I may think or do
I'm fuel for his fires.
The dangers, trials and snares I see
Are all illusory:
I’m either picked before I'm born
Or else, I'm history!
The Lord has promised naught to me
If I'm not on his list
If this is grace, how bad's the curse?
I’m going to get drunk.

It's the "new prespective on Paul" which confirms me in my Arminianism. Go for it. :D
Actually, Pam... I agree with that. It also demonstrates that what Paul is concerned with in Romans 9-11 is not the eternal destiny of individuals per se, but the mystery of God's plan for Israel and through Jesus in calling the entire world. In other words, God has chosen all to come to "the knowledge of the truth."
