I often hear people say “Jesus thought you were to die for” or “He thought you were worth saving” People probably mean well when they say this, but I feel the need to clarify: He didn’t die for us because we were worthy, He died for us despite our unworthiness!

I didn’t leave Calvinism because it seemed harsh, cruel, or unfair. I left Calvinism because it contradicted the explicit teaching of Scripture. …and along the way realized that Calvinist theology indeed slanders the good character of God.

@xTheGoodNews Barnabas most likely: - early attestation from Tertullian, etc - similarities with Epistle of Barnabas - Greek-speaking Levite (Acts 4:36) - indirect apostolic witness (Heb 2:3) - very close proximity to Paul - “Son of comfort” (Acts 4:36) writing a “word of comfort” (Heb 13:22)
