WWUTT (When We Understand The Text) has recently released a video that denies God's genuine desire for the salvation of all people based on some very erroneous logical fallacies and misapplications of scripture. See the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZkmh5bV8XU Dr. Leighton Flowers walks through the video point by point to demonstrate how WWUTT has "put dynamite to the text," as Spurgeon put it, and far "out Calvined" even John Calvin by removing the well meant offer of the gospel ...

James White confronts Leighton and Provisionism, once again, on his most recent Dividing Line broadcast. White continues to attempt to remove the universality of God's expressions of love and provision for all people, contrary to what some other Calvinists teach in reference to these passages (ie the two wills of God approach).

Romans 9:21 -23 says, "Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory..."

Dr. Leighton Flowers continues his critique of RC Sproul's commentary over Romans 9. The focus of the episode is the section which asks the question of whether or not God is righteous in light of what Paul has been teaching. Calvinists assume that because Calvinism is intuitively seen as unrighteous by most Christians then this must be the very reason the apostle raises the objection in this passage. But, what if the audience's anticipated objection is not about reprobation/double predestination...
