Calvin and the Watchmen

These are my notes on Ezekiel Chapter 3

General Observations

eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel ~ v1

It’s pretty simple and in that order, digest God’s Word and then go speak and live it out.

made thee a watchman ~ v17

Our job is a alert people, not to convert them, that is the job of the Spirit.  In fact, not alerting people will put their sin on our bill, but telling them

Can the watchman be a Calvinist?

Interesting question to consider.  Calvinism as defined by the five points

  1. Total depravity
  2. Unconditional election
  3. Limited atonement
  4. Irresistible grace
  5. Perseverance of the saints

The points I believe that the watchmen challenges are Limited atonement and Irresistible grace.  Lets look at the four case conditions

  1. Wicked that die in their sin with no warning
  2. Wicked that die in their sin with a warning
  3. Righteous that die in their sin with no warning
  4. Righteous that sin not because of the warning
