GRPL THREAD: Great Quotes about Calvin and Calvinism

[connectthedots]

Why am I not on your ping list?

[NeoCaveman]

Was Drstevej just banned, and why???

I hope this is only a time out. This Catholic boy always liked Dr. Steve.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

You're right. I was being supercilious. It well could have been you. It still might have been you. You might get us all banned. The thread might blow up. Mt. St. Helen might exlode. We all might be covered in hot lava and Free Republic become an ink-blot on a scrap of smoking ash.

Or not.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

You're a gentleman.

[NeoCaveman]

Not every one would agree with you :-)

But, thanks.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

You can take xzins' place.

(sob; impossible...)

[connectthedots]

Thanks for your honest response.

Exurge, Calvinisti, et judica causam tuam
(Arise, Calvinists, and plead your case...)

drstevej has just been banned for crossing swords with WhiteMountain.

I haven't been following the Nebuchadnezzar thread... perhaps someone who has can make the case to the mods?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

If Drstevej is suspended, I would hope it's for as short a duration as possible.

It's Christmas. Banning someone at Christmas seems awfully Scrooge-like.

gosh darn it.....he needs to learn to ignore the Mormon posts for the most part most part unfortunately, as you will get banned if you say too much.....



Uggh.

[jude24]

Why was drstevej banned?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Check my post #35.

It was obviously a set-up.

WM came over here and trashed the thread at the same time he was baiting Steve on the other thread.

I think White Mountain could well be banned for his remarks on this thread.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

AdminMod - please read this post by White Mountain. On a simple thread about Calvin quotations, White Mountain quickly (post #11) appears and posts this slanderous, vindictive, angry, disruptive, rude and unChristian screed.

Try sending a Freepmail or post to WM. If he is banned, I don't think a Freepmail will go through. I was banned once. You're not a real Freeper until you've been banned.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

You just have to highlight someone's name to see if they're still on the forum.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

And of course, he's still here. He seems to be untouchable.

[jude24]

I got banned once for telling A+bert that no one cared about his pathetic candidate, Pat Buchanan.

[snerkel]

Your point? Don't twist my words as if they belong to you. You came on this thread whining and moaning about threads being hijacked and that is exactly what you are attempting to do with your posts on this thread (Do as I say, not as I do attitude YOU have presented).

You are not the martyr you claim to be, hiding behind the verses you quoted. You are a disciple of Smith, not Christ.

Galatians 1:6-9

6 I am surprised and astonished that you are so quickly turning renegade and deserting Him Who invited and called you by the grace (unmerited favor) of Christ (the Messiah) [and that you are transferring your allegiance] to a different [even an opposition] gospel.

7 Not that there is [or could be] any other [genuine Gospel], but there are [obviously] some who are troubling and disturbing and bewildering you [with a different kind of teaching which they offer as a gospel] and want to pervert and distort the Gospel of Christ (the Messiah) [into something which it absolutely is not].

8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to and different from that which we preached to you, let him be accursed (anathema, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment)!

9 As we said before, so I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel different from or contrary to that which you received [from us], let him be accursed (anathema, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment)!</font color>

Refute that.

[snerkel]

Yes.

[jude24]

It's irrefutable....

Now we just have to convince WM that it's applicable to him....
