What is the difference between "High" Calvinism and 'Hyper" Calvinism"?

I've heard these term thrown about but I'm not sure of the difference. I listened to James White drone on and he never got to the whole hyper Calvinism definition or why he is against it.

What is the TLDR?

Is this correct theology or Hyper-Calvinism?

Hello,

I hope everyone is doing well.

As I’ve said on an earlier thread, I’ve spent a lot of the past year thinking through doctrinal subjects. Recently I was thinking about Romans 9 again (not the first time I read it, it’s probably a prerequisite to have read it several times in order to post on a Reformed sub haha) and two thoughts/questions came to mind. I suspect they might be hyper-Calvinistic, but they very plausibly could be the correct interpretation as well.

  1. Is the only reason God creates the reprobate to damn them? Is that a correct interpretation of double predestination?

  2. Is one of the reasons God allows sin to occur is for the sake of punishing it?

Thank you. This sub has been very helpful several times as I process some of these topics. Have a good night!

Hyper-Calvinism: I've seen this come out a little bit here on r/Reformed, so I've put together a couple of helpful resources

Hey fellow r/Reformed brethren. Lately, there has been some posting and commenting that has been leaning a little away from the center of the historic Doctrines of Grace, and toward an erroneous theology called "Hypercalvinism."

In a nutshell, Hypercalvinism rightly emphasizes the authority and sovereignty of God, but wrongly de-emphasizes human responsibility. Thus, it concludes things such as doing good works is not a necessary effect of a truly regenerate life, that unregenerate people do not have a duty to repent and believe, that evangelism is not necessary, and a few more.

This is a subtle, but serious error, as it denies both Scripture and the writings and teaching of those ancient reformers we all love and respect.

I've included a few links to various resources here. Take the time to read up on what Hypercalvinism is.

Charles H. Spurgeon on Hypercalvinism

Ligonier Ministries on Hypercalvinism

Challies blog on Hypercalvinism

Finally, for some heavier reading, DA Carson's doctoral dissertation: Divine Sovereignty and Human Responsibility

I love you all!

What is hyper-Calvinism?

Apparently I'm causing /u/CowboyBigBoss to "doubt Calvinism" by posting a rather common brief definition of hyper-Calvinism:

>A hyper-Calvinist is one who:

>* Denies that the gospel call applies to all who hear, OR >* Denies that faith is the duty of every sinner, OR >* Denies that the gospel makes any β€œoffer” of Christ, salvation, or mercy to the non-elect (or denies that the offer of divine mercy is free and universal), OR >* Denies that there is such a thing as β€œcommon grace,” OR >* Denies that God has any sort of love for the non-elect.

So what's the problem with this definition? What's a better definition?

r/Reformed, what do you think of WBC being a branch of hyper-Calvinism? Does this discourage you and/or present you with struggles in your theological confidence?

I identify most closely with Calvinists in my theology. I generally am found somewhere in-between a 4-and-5 pointer.

Here's the question: how wrong are they theologically, from a hard-calvinist (not hyper-calvinist) perspective.

Here's a quote from a recent AMA: "Question: "If you firmly believe that your God hates gays, and God created all of us as a reflection of his/her/it's own image, doesn't that in turn mean God is somewhat gay Himself/Herself/Itself? Why don't you believe being gay is natural when it's exhibited by other species in nature?" Answer: I believe that from eternity past God decided what each person was going to do & be in their life. They can't help but be sodomites, but that doesn't take away their guilt & the eternal punishment they'll experience. All humans sins - everyone - and it is never okay. All are born with the stain of Adam's sin on them - all must repent. All are depraved. Depravity is the default. Grace is precious.'

From a Calvinist standpoint, this seems technically theologically correct.

Thoughts?

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Are the flaws of capitalism discussed by sociologists such as Weber and Marx actually due to capitalism?

As someone who is currently studying sociology, I've noticed I'm not as far to the left as a lot of people in the field. It doesn't bother me, but some discussions are...difficult to have since I prefer to not deal with shit slinging arguments.

For those who don't know, the flaws of capitalism discussed by both can be boiled down to this:

Marx:

  1. The fundamental flaw of capitalism is that the capitalists will always reach a point where a market is saturated. They will need to find new markets and face the same issue, eventually leading to economic crises because they lay workers off, who in turn cannot consume and keep the economy functioning
  2. Labor as it exists alienates people because they live to work and not the other way around
  3. Capitalism disrupts the labor theory of value (our labor is worth a certain amount)

Weber:

  1. The Protestant ethic made people believe that working as much as possible was the way to connect with god
  2. Said ethic resulted in an "iron cage", where hyper-rationalization deprives people of agency and the ability to express themselves

In terms of the solely economic critics (mainly from Marx), I don't think there's much discussion to be had. The labor theory of value is very flawed, and for the most part I've found people like Adam Smith to have more accurate explanations of proper economics for the average layman.

However, the sociological aspect of it is something where I'm conflicted on. Should we blame religion for the unhealthy work culture common in many countries? Would other economic systems (such as socialism) have been able to incorporate Luther and Calvin's beliefs?

There's a lot of great things that we've been able to achieve thanks to capitalism. Poverty levels tanking, incomes rising, child deaths plummeting, insane advancements in medicine, and so much more. However, with that also comes rising suicide rates. It's especially depressing in places such as North Korea and Japan; mental health problems are also no joke.

With the push for optimizing life as much as possible and squeezing out inefficiencies, it's hard to not feel like the loss of meaning many people experience isn't from capitalism. Durkheim's discussion of the establishment of religions makes it all the more clear to me personally. In a world where a lot of people are also irreligious, many peop

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
