The Love of Money Takes You to the World Series
In a twist that has theologians buzzing, the Dodgers and Yankees facing off in the World Series is being hailed as proof of Total Depravity, much to the delight of Calvinists. The rivalry's intensity and high stakes are seen as reflections of humanity's inherent flaws and competitive spirit.
Calvinists argue that the relentless pursuit of victory by both teams, despite past failures and controversies, mirrors the doctrine of predestination and humanity's inability to choose good without divine intervention. The large payrolls and polarizing nature of both teams further underscore this point, highlighting human greed and ambition. As 1 Timothy 6:10 states, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil," illustrating how financial motivations can lead to moral pitfalls.
Leighton Flowers, known for his Provisionist views, humorously conceded, "Like the Dodgers last night, I must admit defeat. Perhaps this rivalry truly is predestined." His light-hearted acknowledgment has sparked discussions about whether this baseball showdown might indeed be a cosmic joke illustrating Calvinist principles.
