While searching the web...

Just my response to a link I followed (my comments in bold).

Akin says (responding to James White):

But I am not an anti-Calvinist in the second sense named above since I do not believe that Calvinism is so evil/bad/defective/whatever that it prevents Calvinists from being Christians.

Hmmm...then you must not hold to the Declarations of the Council of Trent which anathematizes those of us who subscribe to Calvinism for such is what Calvinists subscribe to- for such is what God's Word teaches. Since you are opposed to the Councils' declaration, does that mean the church is wrong for decreeing such anathemas?

I am perfectly happy to acknowledge Calvinists as brothers in Christ, even if I disagree with certain points of their theological system. You don't do that. Your level of "againstness" toward Catholicism is such that you think it deprives a person of the status of Christian if they really believe what the Church teaches, and that represents a more fundamental level of opposition to Catholicism than I have toward any form of Protestantism.

And again, you may see us as brothers in Christ, but that is not what Trent means when they say "LET HIM BE ANATHEMA." There is a level of "againstness" for Paul tells us to "encourage with sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it" (Titus 1:9). Christians are also called to "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" (Jude 1:3). So yes, there is opposition. If you do not have the same opposition, then you are inconsistent with your own worldview. If you subscribe to the teachings of the Church over and above what God's Word teaches (for they are not the same), then what Paul says applies,

But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!
-Galatians 1:8

Maranatha!

Yeah, it my be a year or two late, but the issues are still relevant for today. Besides, it's late.
