Joel Korytko describes "how studying the Bible in its original context and languages led me out of my former Calvinistic beliefs."

"Dr. Joel Korytko - graduated with a PhD from Oxford, and is now an Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies at Northwest Seminary. He’s a Bible scholar who specializes in the Greek Septuagint."

Romans 9 in English led him into Calvinism when he was a new Christian. Romans 9 in Greek led him out of it.

Thank you for sharing. Listening to people's "in and out of Calvinism" testimonies was and is incredibly healing to me after leaving Calvinism myself. I did not experience the same level of embarrassment for changing my views as you did, but I still felt internally ashamed for having believed such terrible and nonsensical things about God (even if I would not have characterized it that way before). Like you, I also came out of Calvinism because of the text of Scripture, after staying in it for 11 years despite the emotional damage it caused. I thought the Bible taught it so I had to believe it. If I came out due to emotions, I would have left the moment I entered, not stayed in for 11 years. When I finally walked straight through Romans 9 together with looking up the Old Testament references that Paul cites in the chapter, I learned that Calvinism was false. When it was clear to me that the text of Scripture did not teach Calvinism, that's when I left. And like you I also experienced such joy and peace. I finally felt loved by God again and it was easy for me to love God not hard like in Calvinism. I used to take lukewarm showers because hot showers made me think of burning in hell for eternity and made me wonder if God actually hated me and if I would fall away at some point because God had chosen me for hell. Now I can also freely share the gospel and tell everyone "God loves you! Jesus died for you! God wants you to be saved! I know for sure because God loves every person and you are a person, so that applies to YOU!" I could never say that before because I didn't know if it was true whether or not God loved or hated the person I was witnessing to. So thanks again for your interviews and for this channel and sharing your story. God bless!

The idea that the perspective is that of an unbelieving Jew arguing in Romans 9 is correct, and it would have likely been Saul (unbelieving Paul) that would have thought that way. By the time you finish Romans and Galatians, you should also see the Paul realized how unbiblical his previous system of belief was.
The idea that the OT was about salvation through the Law was the false teaching of Paul’s day. He pointed out in great detail that no one was ever saved through the Law, and its true intent was to drive everyone to see their need for a savior.

10:55 Calvinism cannot avoid Determinism. Determinism cannot avoid making man of no consequence... I.e, Man does not matter... However, man is made in God's image... and that does matter! Man cannot live 'as if' he does not matter. It is unhealthy on every level, psychologically, spiritually, emotionally, and even physically. Typically, Calvinists do not live or speak consistently with their Determinist doctrine. It's very common to engage in conversations where the non-Calvinist can pick up on it very easily... and the Calvinists hate it when you point it out.
It's as-if I were to say abortion was OK... and then have to go back and correct myself has having 'misspoken'. Violating a core principal in one's own speech doesn't happen, even casually. But it happens a lot with Calvinistic Determinists... It must be their mind's way of trying to establish a semblance of sanity for its own survival.🤔 Calvinists usually cannot avoid speaking as if they have a free will while simultaneously maintaining that no one does.
