Benny Finney Book Announcement!

     People have accused me of being unfair with my Arminian brothers and sisters. They have lambasted me for my satire of Charles Finney and his ilk. Well, folks, who else would allow an Arminian post on their blog each and every Saturday? ME, that's who. Who else would post a photo (like the one above) of Benny Finney's latest book? That would also be me. Benny certainly would not do the same for me, I tells ya. I have been more than kind to the Sola Bootstrapa crowd and I will continue to do so without taking up an offering. Thank you all...and by that, I mean only those who read this.

The Proper Way

Now that you all know about the origin of the high five, click HERE if you forgot, modifications are in order for Calvinists, in this generation, to maintain the practice. The world quickly adopted this signal for their own use and hiding the fact that John Calvin came up with the idea in the first place.  

So the above photo illustrates the 21st century method of greeting other Calvinists. Calvinists are free to use any and all the above whenever and wherever it applies.

Secret of the High Five

According to Wikipedia the high five is a celebratory hand gesture that occurs when two people simultaneously raise one hand, about head high, and push, slide or slap the flat of their palm and hand against the palm and flat hand of their partner. The gesture is often preceded verbally by the phrase "Give me five" or "High five".

Unknown to most of the world, is the fact that John Calvin created this "signal" to secretly confirm the belief in the five points of Calvinism in the public square. Below is a painting of John Calvin high-five-ing William Farel, who is just outside the painting.

Arminians use this gesture without knowing the significance behind it.

Below is a photo of two Arminians after a successful snake-handling service.

"High five" was also used by Jonathan Edwards, A.W. Pink and Corky Velveeta.

So next time someone says, "Gimme five"...explain the origin and be on your way.

Looking for Calvin's Grave

For My Arminian Friends

Arminian publisher, Amy Simple McFireside, hawks the newest book, "Against Calvinism" on the streets of Chicago. That same book will soon be available to purchase once again. Find out all about it right here!

Part of the review reads:

"This resource is one for those of both theological viewpoints to read. We think one will find that at the end of the day, in the real world, the Calvinist reaction may be slack-jawed astonishment as his Arminian friend lays out the logical arguments and supporting Scriptures contained within this tome. We have labored to make the arguments refuting Calvinism simple and plain enough that even the “babe in Christ” – one who is still on the spiritual milk – can understand, memorize and communicate them."

I have ordered one myself! I suggest everyone do the same, whether you are a Calvinist, an Arminian or something in-between.
