The Calvin Versus Our Minion Thing

I'm afraid there's no easy answer, except to say, please, at this moment in our history as Christians, let's stop allowing the controversies of the 16th and 17th century to define who we have to be. Let's read the Bible for all its worth in its own context. And even if that de-familiarizes ourselves up to a point, please let's then work with that and see a larger vision within which things which are often polarized against one another may actually be held together. The idea of limiting God's rescuing love is just almost blasphemous, it's ridiculous. We need a larger frame.
