Ep 1274 | Predestined to Hell? Calvinism Explained
Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
Arminian Perspective Summarized
Allie outlines Arminian claims: God's desire for all, human free will, and scriptural verses supporting universal desire.
Allie delivers a clear, balanced primer on Calvinism by unpacking the terminology of total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints. Is Calvinistic theology a fatalistic puppetry or biblical sovereignty that magnifies God’s glory? She traces its Reformation roots, American influence, and modern perception, while honestly addressing prideful “cage-stage” pitfalls. Whether you’re Reformed, Arminian, or just curious, this episode equips you to understand one of Christianity’s most debated (and misunderstood) theological frameworks.
