I don’t feel a need to change minds but I do feel a need to provide a reason for the hope that is in me. Something scripture instructs me to do. Plus, I feel there is great benefit in understanding doctrine aright.

Well said!

I would direct you to Romans chapter 9 and Ephesians chapter 1. You’re welcome to your opinion but your argument could be turned against you. How do you know you’ve repented and placed your trust in him? What happens if you unplace your trust? How do you know you believe?

Armenians and Calvinists have argued this forever. I’m not going to change your mind and you won’t change mine so lets revel in the fact that we both believe in the triune God and his Son Jesus. If you ever become reformed, it won’t be because I reformed you. Enjoy Christ.

Blessings to you.

I’ll quote Luther....Away from me Satan, I have been baptized.

The objective v. the subjective. I’m more concerned with understanding Gods greatness than I am with my assurance. I don’t know why it’s such a big issue for you but I believe so it’s not such a big issue for me. The question is why do I believe? I believe because God has given me faith. Praise be to God.

No, I believe because God has given me the “gifts” of faith and repentance. It has nothing to do with me.

Mr Flew died in 2010. I’m comforted to know that not one of God’s elect will be lost. It is my hope he is among them.

Lastly, freewill assumes one can choose perfect good. My bible says that mankind was born into sin and is a slave to it until set free by Christ. I’ll keep my soteriology.

He traded one form of unbelief for another. The lost suppress the truth in unrighteousness. It takes the Holy Spirit to open ones eyes to the triune God.

You’re reformed because God reformed you. It takes the same sovereign grace for people to see the doctrine of election and be humbled by it. You’ll get very little agreement from folks on FR and will most likely get lots of ridicule. Taken comfort in your knowing the truth. God saved you against your will and that is Grace with a capital G.

What’s the phone number. I need to order a cake that ill pick up next year.

And since the church no longer teaches covenentalism, the sheeple have no idea what a covenant means. I get it. Thanks for your post.

Sorry, I’m so series these days. :-)

No. I don’t but the guy was asking about how he could land the job.

First you have to be stupid enough to believe that a culture can completely degrade itself without consequences. After that it’s just a matter of dropping your pants.

That’ll be a game changer. Hey CIA... Say goodbye to five decades of work.

Yep but dont dare suggest something radical like voting for Ron Paul. FReepers crucify those that do so give your three cheers for Romney Rino.

Well, that’s just your opinion.

I’m not really concerned with opinions.

I don’t think either is Christian.

I think your poor little mind can’t comprehend the necessity of a unique yet diverse creator as a precondition for creation. You might want to spend some time pondering the word universe.

THE CHRISTIAN GOD IS ONE GOD THREE PERSONS!!!!!!!!!!!

The mormon god is one god one person who has sons, satan and Jesus.

There is nothing Christian about Mormonism! There is nothing Godly about Mormonism.

That was hilarious!

This guy has been ducking responsibility since 2 seconds after grounding.

Aaaaa help yourself sir.

You big boy you been here four hour. No pay just go!

Yeah well people in hell want ice water.

Lots of companies do not allow in-service distributions. I think they all should. Who’s money is it?

I didnt say gold was wealth, I agreed that it is money.

Exactly!

And I thought I was cool when I flew under a high line.

If Christ has no say in the political realm then only fallen man can be the savior of it. Seems that’s not working out to well in our culture.

I participated in the kiss in. Gave the Mrs. a little peck on the patio at cfa sarasota while enjoying my deluxe with cheese last night.

You failed to mention his royal highness Bob Wills.

I think you’re being fast and loose with the tern “movie star”.

You’re right, I forgot....if it’s a rubber band gun it’s an AK.

It wasn’t an AK. An MP5 or M4 but not an AK. Still scares the carp out of ya. When is this stuff gonna stop?

Thanks goodness for diversity. /s

While I’m extremely impressed by his calm demeanor, I can’t help but think that a 45 Kimber Ultra Carry might have meant less discharge of ammo.

Russians smile so rarely. So nice to see them enjoying themselves.

I’ve stood in the spot where that was filmed. I love Russia.

The concept is ok but not as good as it could be. I designed my own policy and got 90% cash value accumulation year one by adding a term rider. It cut the reps. Ommission so the rep wont tell u about it. Freepmail me if you want to know more.

The Prebyterians of today are PINO... Presbyterian in name only. John Knox would puke.

I’m in the pca but would be in the RPCGA if geography permitted.

I only eat unsaved tomatoes.

The liberal pcusa and some if not most of the pca would never rebel against the same circumstances now. They’ve ignored Gods instruction on the doctrine of interposition so why would they fight for it now?

I’m still Prebyterian but I really miss John Knox.

Amen!

The real argument is between those that would bow the knee to King Jesus and those that refuse. I liked your summation though.

Impossible as to do so would violate his sovereign nature. He doesn’t need to be challenged to be happy. He is a blessed God (happy), fulfilled in Himself. He is not like us but in some ways we are like Him. A perfect God has no needs. He says in scripture, if I were hungry I wouldn’t tell you.

The God of the bible is way to perfect to create something so irrational and arbitrary.
