Defining Theology

As I've mentioned before, it bothers me that Calvinists insist on referring to their perspective as Reformed or Reformation theology. It suggests that the Arminian viewpoint has no grounding Reformation history, which is historically ludicrous.

In response, I propose that we Arminians start referring to our perspective as Biblical Theology. Just to tweak those Calvies.

Well said!

Yes, up the ante and refer to your viewpoint as God's Theology.

Of course, I have a feeling that God regards all theologians as comedy relief.

Good idea, since Arminian theology is a tad more Biblical than 5 point Calvinism.
