The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum The Doctrine of God - Calvinism vs Arminianism

I would like to begin this new topic by making the following proposition:

One of the major attributes of the God of Scripture is that He possesses "Aseity". By definition, aseity is to be self-existent, uncaused, self-sufficient, 'independent in His being and in everything else: in His virtues, decrees, works, etc.' All things are therefore of necessity caused to be dependent upon Him. (cf. Jh 5:26; Ps 94:8; Isa 40:18ff; Acts 7:25; Rom 11:33-36; Dan 4:35; Rom 9:19; Eph 1:5; Rev 4:11; Ps 33:11; 115:3)

Would those who contend that there is little difference between Arminianism and Calvinism affirm the above statement? Does Arminianism consistently uphold this truth when examined and compared with Arminianism's other doctrines?

In His grace,
