Franky Schaeffer Thinks John Hagee is a Calvinist
Franky Schaeffer loves to make a fool of himself--he'll do anything for an audience, I assume. If you observe his capricious path, his recent move into the loving arms of the sodomite Left makes perfect sense. He is reinventing himself into an expert on all things Christian Conservative, and a desperate group of anti-theocrats think they've found an insider.
Here's a snippet from Franky's debut appearance at Talk2Action:
Franky, of course, is writing to a theologically illiterate audience, so I doubt any of the caretakers at Talk2Action will correct his fumbling in this instance. They need guys like Franky. But implying there's a "huge group of evangelicals"--including men like John Hagee--are Calvinists is the grossest distortion. I simply cannot believe that Franky is that ignorant. His misconstruing must be intentional.
Premillennial dispenstationalists (Hagee, Parsley, et al.) are rarely predestinarian. Their concept of the future is that God actually consults it and then writes out the necessary prophecies. These guys deem the label "Calvinist" as worse than being called "liberal." Once again, real Calvinists are being tarnished with misinformation from the ill-informed and the deceptive. Franky abides in the category of the latter.

An interesting comparison emerges. Senator Obama shows authentic respect for Jews and Israel in word and deed. McCain is looking for votes from a huge group of evangelicals who hold -- as a Calvinistic theological absolute truth -- that God is "sovereign" and has "predestined" everything, including the Holocaust, and that the Holocaust was "God's will" in order to "restore Israel," not for the good of the Jews but so that Jesus might return to earth, thus fulfilling biblical prophecy (as understood by most evangelicals).Talk about getting your doctrines mixed up. My goodness, if I had known "evangelicals" were such devout Calvinists, I would've called Gary DeMar and told him to stop trampling them in eschatology debates!
