Exurge, Calvinisti, et judica causam tuam...

Arise (some mss read Swarm), O Calvinists, and plead your cause. The doctrines of grace are mightily assailed by those who would proclaim with their father, “I will be like the Most High.” Set forth the biblical case for a sovereign God who is jealous for His glory. Disallow through disputation (and lampooning when needed) the damnable errors of those who have refashioned the great sola doctrines into a salvation-helper gospel that exalts the fallen will of man.

From every corner, in every thread exalt the right of God to do whatsoever He pleaseth. Be not dismayed by persistent anthropocentric rantings. Blessed are you when they revile you for the sake of the truth. Happy are ye when the Servetus card is played and the strawmen are paraded before you for He who is enthroned in heaven reigns.

– Pope Piel I, Thread Pope

A Hymns of Grace thread might be cool.

Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature's night.
Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray:
I woke -- the dungeon flamed with light!
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth and followed Thee.

[xzins]

You really need to loosen your tie.....most of what P-M, drsteve, and I are doing here is just kidding around.

[snerkel]

Diamond we have tried to restrain public displays of our humor because Calvinists are not suppose to be funny..just excellent at starting fires without matches.:>)

Pssst. Only snerkeling Daisy's are allow to be humorous.

[snerkel]

It's the humor that gets me in trouble. Am I right?

[P-Marlowe]

Some people just can't take a joke:

Suppose God thinks, "I want Adam Clay of 1066 Hastings Ave. to be saved, and I intend for him to spend eternity with Me in Heaven."

Is there any way at all for Adam Clay to refuse salvation and deny God His intention?

The mods obviously couldn't cause you got bounced.

I'm glad you are back. I consider you a friend. Ditto for the xzinster. Perhaps oneday the GRPL will have you as ardent members.

[xzins]

Wow, Rn.

Is that true?

Did you rat out Milquetoast?

Pretty, pretty cold.

[drstevej]

Actually I think I first pinged the mods to the suspicious newbie, rn pegged it as marlowe.

[xzins]

Given all of your if's, then no.

Suppose God thinks, "I want faith not to be a work, and I want people to choose to accept my free grace."

Is it possible that God CANNOT do that, if God wants to do that?

[P-Marlowe]

Actually I think I first pinged the mods to the suspicious newbie

Really? Why would you do that? I thought you Calvinists NEVER pinged the moderators or pushed the abuse buttons? I thought only LDS and weak kneed Arminians did that.

[xzins]

The mods obviously couldn't cause you got bounced.

Inadequate response, DrJ.

In the world of cover and concealment, you didn't provide the necessary diversion.

[drstevej]

Had I known it was you, I would not have pinged the mods.

[A.J.Armitage]

What ifs?

Suppose God thinks, "I want faith not to be a work, and I want people to choose to accept my free grace."

Is it possible that God CANNOT do that, if God wants to do that?

Eh? Faith isn't a work (of man, at any rate), and everyone He wants to accept free grace, does. Grace procures acceptance, and it procures cooperation. Like my quotation says.

[Jean Chauvin]

Oh -but drsteve- didn't you know that was talking about "Prevenient Grace".

Oh...waitjustaminute...Charles tells us his heart "was free" BEFORE he "followed thee".

That's regeneration preceeding faith!

Your fishiness, I humbly ask you to grant this fine Brother's petition on the strength of that picture!

He just tries to HUSTLE lesbians. Interesting pastime for a person with a "1.70 IQ"
