Question
Hello Pastor,  I have been reading your discussion on the subject above. It has helped me understand better this issue.  I heard a comment once there are 3 sides to this issue. 1-Calvinism  2-Arminianism 3- The Truth.  
I do have a question, most people who do Bible interpretation have a rules of interpretation list.  Do you have one and could you share it?  thanks and God Bless.  Al

Answer
Hi Al,
  I agree that neither Calvinism or Arminianisn are truth....   I have an article at http://bible-truth.org/Principles.htm  that teaches how to interpret the Bible using the principles the Bible teaches.
  I you have further questions please write.
