John Calvin vs. James White & Jeff Durbin: The John 6 Debate You Never Expected

About this sermon

Did you know that even John Calvin didn’t teach what many modern Calvinists like James White and Jeff Durbin claim about John 6? In this eye-opening debate, we examine how their interpretation of John 6:44, unconditional election, and total inability actually departs from John Calvin’s own commentary. Dr. Leighton Flowers responds with clarity, quoting Calvin directly and showing that Calvin’s view of John 3:16 and John 6 reflects a more universal gospel offer than today’s Reformed theologians often admit. If you’ve ever wondered whether today’s Calvinism, Reformed theology, or TULIP doctrines align with historical Calvinism—this is the video to watch. We walk through Calvin’s own words, examine the meaning of “draw,” and explore how the Provisionist interpretation remains faithful to the text—without importing Augustinian or deterministic assumptions. This isn't just about Calvinism vs Provisionism. It's about letting the text speak. 📖 Watch now and decide for yourself: Who is staying true to the text?
