Being unable to respond to my #284, you just blast out some snippet from the Catholic Encyclopedia?

No inability at all, just unwillingness to engage further in the Calvinistic endless cycle of twist, spinn, misinterpret, flame, and insult. I have seldom if ever met a Calvinist who was not most contentious, lacking even the most simple graces of civility let alone spiritual consciousness. One can read of the death of Servetus and get the distinct feeling that is such would practiced today if allowed by law, after all, God, according to some of them, made Hitler kill several million Jews.

God is not such a brute nor filled with such hatred, but a God of love, mercy, grace, and justice, who perfectly hates evil which is not part of his holiness. Evil was and is the set of the will of a created being against the creator, following the devices of their own imaginations, by which they have been and are being led astray.

I have no desire to engage in an endless debate that profits nothing but the captivity of a process that misinterprets and misapplies scripture to their eternal hurt.

Which of course begs the question of why your continued presense and participation in this thread, since you have just admitted "unwillingness to engage". Would it be perhaps to "twist, spinn [sic], misinterpret, flame, and insult"?

An assertion which you have yet to demonstrate the verasity of. Do you have any response to POINT?

We're still waiting on you to provide substantive respones to OrthodoxPresbyterian's arguments on John 1:12-13, and i still await your explanation of Acts 13:48.
