I confess, I listened to the first half hour of the first debate and turned off. I had listened to Rich's later call to the show first, so I wasn't expecting a great deal from Steve Gregg, but still he managed to be disappointing. The general thrust of his opening comments was "on the surface the Bible seems to teach Arminianism, Calvinists claim that if you look deeper it actually teaches Calvinism, but we shouldn't do that because, well, because we shouldn't." Which is wrong on both counts - the Bible does teach the doctrines of grace all through, there is no prima facie case for Arminianism, and also we should delve deeply into the truths of Scripture. I heard Dr White's first reply then switched off.
