One of the great dangers Christians face is the subtle infiltration of human doctrines that distort the Word of God (Matthew 7:15; 15:7–9). Such doctrines often appeal to convenience and human intellect (man’s wisdom, 1 Corinthians 1:18–25) rather than a simple, honest understanding of Scripture. Calvinism, a theological system developed from the teachings of John Calvin (1509–1564), presents one such challenge. At its core is the famous acronym TULIP, which summarizes its five main tenets. Though well-packaged, each point of TULIP deviates from Bible teaching when compared with the whole of God’s Word. Let us carefully compare each Calvinist doctrine with the inspired Scriptures.
