363 Reformed vs. Arminian (1) Meet the Families
Let's compare the Reformed with the Arminians (no, not Armenians!). What are their emphases? Where, at surface level, do they disagree? Who are the famous leaders on each side? I'm betting that my listeners will be surprised to learn that the Arminians started out in the Reformed branch of the Church. One way (not the only way, as this series will make clear) to distinguish them is to posit the differences between monergism and synergism. This episode's first half continues a reflection equality of the sexes, and how that has morphed into compulsory feminism, and how that is eating (from the inside out) male, female, the hetero-family, and babies. University elites have foisted upon us categories and commitments through the court system; and that all happened outside of the marketplace of ideas. So this terminal absurdity we are all enduring is both strategic and intentional.
