"bible texts used by Calvinists are
taken out of context or mistranslated then, strung up with others equally
wrenched from their hermeneutic whole"
In this note
I quote or point to various bible texts.
Each or which are then linked to either an article or a video (or both) that explains the context or the mistranslation.
For the word "elect", check out the next note in the What is Calvinism? Article.
