Public Service Announcement for Believers:
Whenever you type a Biblical question into Google, one of the top returns - almost always in the first 5 - is going to be from GotQuestions.org.
According to their website, they currently average 22 million visits each month.
They operate under the pretense of objectivity in giving straightforward answers from Scripture.
But know this: the site is Calvinistic.
And worse than garden variety Calvinists - these people are stealth Calvinists.
Need proof?
Check out their page on Calvinism versus Arminianism - it has both text and a well-organized animated video which maintains the appearance of neutrality.
However, several of the premises at work are faulty (including the starting point: the impression that Calvinism and Arminianism are the only two options).
In the end, the video espouses "compatibilism" - saying that the way God maintains absolute sovereignty (where He predetermines EVERYTHING) while giving humans genuine choice is a "mystery".
Of course they never use the term "compatibilism" because that would be a dead giveaway of their Calvinist leanings.
The site ought to have a warning label.
