On this page you will find some of my personal thoughts on the topic of Calvinism, as well as my attempt to answer objections that have been posed to me.  

Those of you who are familiar with the subject will realize that none of my argumentation is, in the purest sense of the word, "new"...I truly am just standing on the shoulders of godly people that God has raised up both in the past and in the present to powerfully speak on these matters. 

If you have been considering the truth claims of the Reformed view, my prayer is that something contained in what I have written will help you in your search.   

If you find something in what I have written to be of some benefit, I do give all of the glory to our Lord.   If you have further questions, or find something objectionable, just send me an e-mail at [email protected]

May God richly bless you, and continue to give you a hunger for His truth, 

John C. Orlando, Jr.
