calvinism
Calvinism refers to a theological system and a branch of Protestant Christianity that follows the teachings of John Calvin. It emphasizes the doctrine of predestination, asserting that God has already predetermined the salvation or damnation of individuals before their birth. Calvinists also emphasize the absolute sovereignty of God, the authority of scripture, and the idea of total depravity, which suggests that humans are inherently sinful and incapable of choosing to follow God without divine intervention.
