Without question, Scripture repeatedly presents God's love, compassion and concern for all Israel and the whole world to be saved. Nor is there any doubt that He offers salvation to all in the clearest language possible. In contrast, not one scripture can be produced where any of the tenets of Calvinism is clearly stated. The burden of the proof is upon the Calvinist to show where the Bible clearly teaches his doctrine. Yet, even in the passage which White calls "the clearest exposition of Calvinism," the theory is not plainly stated but must be read into.

Indisputably, the phrase represented by the first four letters in the acronym TULIP never appear in the Bible. That fact speaks volumes. Never does the Bible say that men are by nature incapable of believing the gospel or of seeking God. Never does it say that a select group is chosen unconditionally to salvation, or that grace is irresistible, or that Christ died only for an elect. The Calvinist cannot produce for any part of TULIP a clear, unambiguous statement from any part of Scripture! Bu we can show hundreds of passages that refute TULIP.

Never does Scripture declare that God desires billions to perish and that it is His good pleasure (and even to His glory) to withhold from them salvation. Never is God's love limited to a select group whom alone He desires to save. In contrast to a few verses that Calvinists must strain to support TULIP, hundreds proclaim plainly God's love and desire for the salvation of all.

The burden of the proof is on the Calvinist to show clearly from the Bible that his doctrine is true-and he cannot do it.
