When you read your Bible carefully, it becomes clear that the system known as Calvinism doesn’t line up with the full teaching of Scripture. In “Calvinism is Stupid: Part Two – TULIP Exposed,” Pastor Kenny Burge Jr. walks through the five points of TULIP and examines how they’re often supported by verses taken out of context—ideas like total inability, unconditional election (where some are chosen and others passed over), and the claim that Christ died only for a limited few.

If those philosophies bothered you, this message offers a biblical look at the passages commonly used to defend them. We’ll also take a look at some surprising historical moments from John Calvin’s Geneva—including the strange story of bakers being arrested for making gingerbread cookies.

We’ll also examine Romans 9, one of the most frequently cited chapters in the Calvinism debate—phrases like “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated,” Pharaoh’s hardened heart, and the potter and the clay. Are these passages really teaching individual predestination to salvation and condemnation? Or is Paul addressing something else entirely?

Finally, we’ll talk about the doctrine often called the Perseverance of the Saints, and whether it reflects the biblical teaching on salvation and assurance.
