1 Corinthians 1:
[SUP]26 [/SUP]For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards,[SUP][c][/SUP] not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. [SUP]27 [/SUP]But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; [SUP]28 [/SUP]God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, [SUP]29 [/SUP]so that no human being[SUP][d][/SUP] might boast in the presence of God. [SUP]30 [/SUP]And because of him[SUP][e][/SUP] you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, [SUP]31 [/SUP]so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
REFORMED RESPONSE: HALLELUJAH, PRAISE GOD! THANK GOD WHO SAVES WEAK THINGS TO SHOW HIS STRENGTH.
ARMINIAN RESPONSE: I chose me, and my wise decision caused my salvation. Something must be out of context here. Because..I choose me, not God.
