      Before getting started, let’s review a few notes that are common to my writings…

      *British spelling is often used, except for the quoted material, which normally employs U.S. spelling.

      *Old Testament Scripture is normally taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE® (NASB), copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation. Used by permission.

      *New Testament Scripture is normally taken from the Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament: Third Edition (ALT3). Copyright © 2007 by Gary F. Zeolla of Darkness to Light ministry. Previously copyrighted © 1999, 2001, 2005 by Gary Zeolla.

      *The terms LORD, GOD, and Hashem are all ways to describe the personal name of God, also rendered as Yahweh or Jehovah.

      *The ALT3 distinguishes between singular and plural second-person pronouns by means of an asterisk (*).

      *Divine pronouns are normally not capitalized, unless they appear that way in Bible versions or other quotes.

      *As a general rule, words that appear in brackets within quotes are not found in the original texts, and were added by the translators or are my personal comments, etc.

      I. Initial Considerations

      There has been a resurgence of Calvinism in the United States over the past couple of decades. Before this, it was largely understood that the Protestant Reformation had pluses and minuses. There were pros and cons. The original reformers
