The Problem Isn’t Calvinism. It’s Systemized-Religion

from Sergio DeSoto The Counterintuitive Podcast Hosted by Sergio DeSoto

Why are there so many competing theological systems—and why do they so often produce confident men who can explain everything while excusing what Scripture condemns? In this episode, Sergio goes full Pauline: Calvinism is not the only target; it’s an example of a deeper disease—system-religion. From Rabbinic fences to Christian frameworks, we examine the psychology beneath “-isms”: people don’t want to think, they want to be comforted; denominations can become identity pacifiers; and closed systems eventually pressure moral clarity to bow to coherence. This is a Hebraic wake-up call: covenant is relational, God is not your algorithm, and no system gets to sit above the text. This is a public episode.
